Patient and knowledgeable attorney

Lisa helped my wife fom El Salvador receive her green card. My advice is to get Lisa the documents she requests quickly, there are revisions that can delay the immigration process. Lisa was very patient with us and I am truly thankful for her knowledge and professionalism. Thank you Lisa!

Great Lawyer, Great Person, Great Staff!

Lisa has been a blessing to my family. She has handled My Parents, sisters and finally this past year my case and I can say without a doubt she is an asset to anyone requiring legal services. She helped me though the whole immigration process, even handling the panic that sometimes happens when deali...ng with legal issues. She handled any unexpected surprises with great speed and efficiency. Her staff is also very friendly and great attitude in regards to maintain client retention. Her fee's are very reasonable and she does not nickle and dime her clients. We had one issue where the mailing address was incorrect for some documents we mailed, and she managed to cut through all the red tape and get my case expedited. I highly recommend her and her staff in tackling immigration issues that you may arise.

Great Attorney!!

We were amazed at Lisa's competence from the initial consultation. Every attorney my husband consulted in NY & Houston, while I was detained in Houston, TX detention center, stated that there were absolutely no possible way of me being release until my case was over, due to the fact that I was det...ained at the airport, trying to re-enter the US. Lisa was the only attorney who actually told my husband that there was an option… She filed a parole application with ICE (based on the hardship my minor child would experienced in my absence), the parole was granted & I was reunited with my family after exactly a month of being detained. Although we reside in NYC, we decided to continue working with Lisa. My hearing was scheduled in Houston, TX immigration court for the following year. Lisa explained the procedures ,laws, strategy, and advised us on the documentation & witness requirements in order to present a strongest possible case. Lisa scheduled telephone sessions with me and all of my witnesses to explain the process and prepared them for the court hearing. While Lisa's knowledge & experience in immigration law was obvious, she ,seemed to know very little about Ukraine (specifically, antisemitism in Ukraine, which was another approach to my case) and yet she took the time to research & learn about it, sharing all of her finding with me. In addition to filing for defense based on religious persecution, Lisa suggested filing a 212h waiver based on the hardship my daughter would experience should I be deported. Lisa WON my case! It has been one of the most difficult & nerve-wrecking years in the life of my family, full of uncertainty & fears, and with Lisa's help, this nightmare is over. I would highly recommend her for any immigration case, especially the difficult ones. Sincerely I.E.

Great Attorney

I hired Attorney Okoh-Brown to hlep me get my green card since she had previously helped my mother, sister and brother. When i applied for my green card it was denied becuase immigration said I was not covered under 245(i). Attorney Okoh-Brown appealed the decision and won the appeal. Once again ...my green card was denied for the same reason and once again Attorney Okoh-Brown appealed the decision and won the appeal. My green card was finally approved. She really helped me and made my dream come true.

Outstanding performance

Lisa okoh-Brown was very helpful to my case, she went above and beyond her call of duty to help me and family, she even travelled to Philadelphia to help with a federal case as related with immigration matters. She was a blessing to my family.

Replied last June 21, 2011

The federal judge in PA was refusing a bond to my client based on her lack of knowledge of immigration law. his criminal attorney in P.A. was not doing his job and I could not let my client sit a minute longer detained in federal prison, so I demanded his criminal attorney file another bond motion for him even though he kept telling me that the federal judge and the federal prosecutor would not give my client bond, which made me angry because he was not fighting for our mutual client. I therefore called the family to find out when the federal court hearing was and was allowed to address the federal court judge and after an hour and a continuance to the late afternoon which caused me to take a later flight (I did not care, the client is the most important) I was able to successfully convince the federal judge to grant bond based on the immigration case that I felt my client had. the judge had previously denied him twice. It was amazing day and his family praised me profoundly. it is these moments that we work for as immigration attorneys. they are more rewarding than any money.
