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!

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...

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 ...

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.
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.
"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Okoh-Brown is one of the most conscientious attorneys I have dealt with. She really cares about her clients and making sure they are taken care of. A very competent attorney. I normally do not endorse attorneys but this is one I highly recommend."
"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."
"Lisa is a very conscientious and a very knowledgeable asset to the industry. She is very detailed and extremely patient. She also happens to be very professional who improves the industry by her actions to fellow attorneys and to those who need help with their legal matters."
"I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Okoh-Brown has a wonderful reputation as a zealous advocate for her clients and is a credit to the legal profession."
