Fierce and fights.

She was so awesome. during the court case she came in clutch and got me exactly what i wanted for me and my son. Cant thank her enough. She was also very knowledgeable and knew exactly what to do. honestly couldn’t have asked for a better turn out.

She's an amazing lawyer.

Honestly y'all...this lawyer is amazing. Ms Okoh is willing to do the nitty gritty and the dirty and fight for you until the end. She fights with ferocity and determination and is willing to find every edge she can get you in your case. She is NOT a miracle worker as you shouldn't expect from any law...yer, but she is VERY knowledgeable of the law. She keeps you updated, is timely and has fair prices. If you're expecting a "nice lawyer" this is NOT your lawyer... There is no lawyer you should expect who will be nice to you and get stuff done. You need a lawyer who practices their mean face 24/7 so it comes natural in court. If you want a lawyer who will GET stuff DONE and is timely and keeps you updated on what and when she's working on your case? This is your lawyer. She truly is built different.

Lisa was communicative through email, Lisa worked hard on my case with having a week to prepare, and she was able to adequately get everything together to make my case successful.

Best lawyer

To find a great attorney is hard. To find someone who knows what there doing is Extremely difficult to someone like my self. But you would think well any attorney is going to be a lot better than not having one. But if you want someone who fights like a teammate to be number one and does not give up ...on you till it’s done. Well Lisa Okoh-Brown took my case and was up till 4 am. 4AM like what!!! working very hard and I must say knows what she’s doing. When she told me I had a hard clime in front of me she did not give up and got down and fought one hell of a battle, knowing how emotional The situation was to me and my kids. She made it like if it was her own case. I recommend no matter what attorney you find Mrs Lisa took everything personally and she is tough and will fight for you….

LEGAL WARRIOR

When I hired attorney Okoh-Brown I had not seen my kids in 10 months, even though I had an attorney. I was dealing with an unfair judge who hated me and took my kids away because I had filed CPS reports when my youngest child kept telling me that his step-brother had molested him. Lisa was my 4th a...ttorney on a long drawn out saga. She was outraged that I had not seen my kids and immediately filed an emergency motion to get into court. We had a hearing and the psychologist on the case had finally agreed to let me have unsupervised visits after being late almost 9 months in writing a report (this was why i had not seen then and my former attorney never took anything to court to let the judge know this). The lawyers all agreed we should have a temporary agreement based on the psychologist report because the judge will always follow the recommendation of the psychologist. Dad, said NO! It was like he knew something and went against his own attorney and we had the hearing. To all of our shock, the judge rejected the report and denied me unsupervised visits. Lisa witnessed how much the judge hated me. So what did Lisa do? She filed a motion to remove the judge from the case! All of her colleagues told her they never do that. She said her job is not to make the judge happy and kiss the judge's butt...her job is to fight for her client. Well the judge was not removed but after that she was SUPER NICE to Lisa and me, always. This case went to trial. 11 days by Jury for custody of my kids and Lisa fought against 2 male attorneys (one was the amicus who was always on the side of dad's attorney because they were friends). Also the new psychologist sided with them and had a long history of people doing what he recommended. Lisa was a warrior in that court room. mentally quick, smart in coming up with strategy and gave the most compelling closing arguments with 12 big exhibits for the jury, outlining the case. At the end of the day I got my kids back and after the case, the jury only wanted to speak to Lisa! Even though all the attorneys asked to talk to them. So if you want an attorney who will fight for you and treat your case like their own, I can highly recommend Lisa Okoh-Brown. She is smart, compassionate and she will not back down. She is worth every penny she charges. A legal warrior and I am forever grateful to her and would give her 100 stars if i could!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"It is an honor to endorse Lisa. I worked with Lisa on a criminal defense case wherein my client faced deportation issues if he had accepted a plea. Lisa armed me with the specialized immigration knowledge I needed to provide my client with the tools he needed to make a fully informed decision. We went forward, fought the case and won. Lisa is THE attorney to talk to if you have an immigration issue at hand."
