Lisa Monique Okoh-Brown

I would 100% recommend Lisa Okoh-Brown to anyone in need of a Family Attorney. I can’t say enough how much I appreciate the great deal of professionalism, effort and care that she put into my case. While I know that I was not her only client, her prompt responses, sense of urgency and patience cert...ainly made me feel as though I was. Divorce is an extremely difficult matter especially with children involved. I am so thankful that I had her to help guide me through such a stressful situation. Lisa was always respectful of my time (and money). She was always organized and prepared. She determined the best course of action based on my end goal. She ensured that I knew what to expect prior to mediation and hearings. She also made sure that I had a clear understanding throughout every step of the process. My Ex tried every evil, vile trick and lie in the book to win. Lisa fought hard and with integrity for me AND my Children’s best interest. Her knowledge and experience was apparent in every meeting and hearing. She was quick on her feet in the courtroom and left no stone unturned. Nothing my ex and his attorney tried to pull, got past her impeccable attention to detail. I am forever grateful for the victory that Lisa’s hard work and experience awarded me and my Children. She is truly a legal gem!

...it seems being a guy makes it an uphill battle especially in law family courts.T The courts tend to take side in most cases involving children with the woman. Here I was facing a TRO (Temporary Restraining Order) that would have prevented me from seeing my children had it been approved by the cour...t. I hire the office of Lisa Okoh Brown to represent me. Ms Brown went to work right away on my case and after putting in some due diligence Attorney Lisa Brown completely crushed that TRO. She presented my case so well the opposing attorney couldn't say a word. Needless to say I will be seeing my children. Hiring an attorney is never cheap but if you have to you might as well hire one that will go to work with passion on your behalf. Lisa does not take her clients case and situation lightly. She will fight for you to the best of her ability and as best she knows how to. Would I hire her again? Absolutely. You will get your moneys' worth out of Lisa. She even called and emailed on weekends about my case and sometimes she would stay awake until 3am in the morning making sure she was not leaving any stones unturned or missing any details. She hates surprises so she prepares hard and well. Best of all she is honest about overall expectation of outcomes. She wont sell you any pie-in-the-sky guarantees. She will tell you like it is.

I hired The Okoh-Brown Law Group in 2010 when the U.S. government sent me a notice to come to court for removal/deportation proceedings. From the moment I meet Ms. Okoh-Brown I could tell she was a fighter and she promised she would fight for me. I am from Mauritius and I have been in the u.s. for ...many years and have a wife and children here. The thought of having to leave them was very upsetting to me. My case was very complicated and the attorney for the government did not want the immigration judge to approve my application to get my green card in stay in the country. Ms. Okoh-Brown took my case to trial and it was a hard fought trial. She meat with me and my wife 6 weeks before the trial to prepare our testimony and go over everything with us so that we were fully prepared for not only her questions at trial, but for the judge's and government attorney's questions. She made a strong closing argument in my case and filed a closing brief to persuade the judge to grant my application. My trial was on 10/21/2013. I was so anxious waiting for the judge's decision. Your life is on hold just waiting. Ms. Okoh-Brown at least saw to it that I had a work permit during this case so that I could work and support my family while waiting on the judge's decision. When Ms. Okoh-Brown called on October 27, 2014 to tell me that the Judge had granted my application despite the government's opposition, she and I celebrated the victory. Ms. Okoh-Brown takes her cases personally and she is invested in the outcome of the case. It was a victory for both of us and I am eternally grateful for her and her assistant Mayra, for all the hard work, dedication, care, professionalism and just keeping me updated every step of the way. I can never repay her for helping me to remain with my family and see my children grow up. She is the best and I highly recommend her. Muhammad S-H.

My case really started over 25 years ago when I came to this country from the Caribbean. Being naive I was fooled into being involved with a situation that created long-lasting consequences in my life. I hired an attorney years ago to try to get my status and paid many thousands of dollars but got ...no results. I have known attorney Okoh-Brown personally for over 30 years. She has always been a fighter and high achiever. Always. As an athlete she was driven and always wanted to win. I see that same qualities in her as a lawyer. I must admit I never told her about my immigration issues because it was something that I did not easily share with anyone due to having a very successful career. Finally, 3 years ago I decided to share my situation with her. She immediately wanted to help and said she loved challenging cases. She started researching right away and trying to find a way to win my case. She warned me there were no guarantees but she would fight hard for me but would never risk my life here in the u.s. She went through several avenues to remedy my situation. She ran checks. We discussed every step of the way the risks involved and whether to proceed. In the end, she did a thorough analysis and although she felt good about the outcome she left the decision entirely up to me on whether to take a chance since it was ultimately my life. Well I am ecstatic to report that yesterday, December 4, 2014 after all the hard work, time and effort expended by The Okoh-Brown Law Group that I was granted permanent residency in this country. I cannot put into words how this has changed my life. I have been in limbo for a quarter of a century, a virtual prisoner in this country unable to leave, unable to go visit family, unable to take jobs that required international travel and having people try to use my status as a weapon against me. Now I get to live a new life! The world is now open to me. I no longer have to worry about leaving my kids or being a second class citizen. If you are reading this and trying to decide what lawyer to hire, you need to understand that attorney Okoh-Brown is the best! She will fight for you as if she is fighting for a family member, she will keep you updated on everything that is going on and she will be fair and honest with you. She really cares. The night before my case was decided she texted me a prayer. I do not know too many lawyers who would do that. If she cannot help you, she will tell you that. I paid the other attorney five times, yes 5 times, what I paid her and got no results and now because of her I have my life back again. There are no words as I said, none that can express how I feel and what this means to me and there is absolutely no way I can ever thank her but for her I know doing a job well and knowing that she is making a difference to help immigrants in this country is thanks enough. Do not hesitate to hire her for your case, especially if it is complicated. Unlike many lawyers she does not run away from the difficult cases and will not stop until she gets results. Sincerely, IDH.
