Definitely will recommend!!!

I am from Kazakhstan and hired The Okoh-Brown Law Group and they filed my petition in July 2014 and I was very happy with their service. They stayed on top of my case, called me whenever there was something to report. Called me to make sure that I had received my finger print notice and most import...antly prepared me completely for the interview. Because of Ms. Okoh-Brown's attention to detail, she was able to spot a potential problem in my case that may have caused a denial which she prepared me and my husband to address at the interview. She also attended the interview with me. Every aspect of our case was reviewed by the attorney. As a result of her knowledge, experience and expertise we passed the interview yesterday Dec. 3, 2014 with flying colors and got an approval at the interview. I am so grateful for the service we received and the care Ms. Okoh-Brown showed my case. I will definitely use the firm in the future for immigration issues and without hesitation would refer my friends and family. G. H.

Great Attorney!

I hired attorney Okoh-Brown to represent me in a child support case. Her rates were very reasonable. She was able to get my child support reduced almost 50% and while we were at court she stayed on top of what was going on at court and caught an error that would have caused us to be there all day. ...She also called me several times the night before to prepare me and to keep me updated on everything. During the mediation part of the case she kept her cool and even got me to see reason at times during the process and stay focused on what was best for my child. I saw my child this weekend for the first time in a few months. Attorney Okoh-Brown promised to fight for my rights in the future and work with me and was not focused on how much money I had. I found her to be professional, compassionate and knowledgeable. I will retain her services in the future and highly recommend her. Marcus G.

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.

Only cares about her fees

Doesn't care for getting results for you, as long as her fees are taken care of, she'll do the motions needed but doesn't care for the outcome as long as she's paid, and if you want her to stick around until the end, everything is a separate service and a different fee. Doesn't even know who she's ta...lking to or what case it is about, she's just communicating the services you'll need and how every one will be a separate fee, even if they have nothing to do with your case. Extremely apathetic, no empathy towards clients just the money. Whatever gets her they money the quickest and then sooner she can stop dealing with your case the better for her.

Replied last February 04, 2023

So everyone. I want you all to understand Alma came to me through a service that is called LIMITED SCOPE. she only paid for us to do certain things on her case. What she paid for was done. She did not understand her contract and could not seem to understand even after it was explained to her multiple times. Now due to her lack of understanding what she signed, i am greedy or only care about money which is utter nonsense. I am tired of people who sign documents they don't understand and then want to blame lawyers who cam in an try to help them. We were able to finish helping her but based on the contract she signed with the firm we helped with she had to add services as she went along and pay for any additional services. My representation was limited to whatever the contract said and that was also explained to her. Alma instead of trying to bad mouth me online, seek to understand your contracts. You also did not pay ME. You paid the firm you signed the contract with. It is sad that you do not take any responsibility here and acknowledge that we tried to explain YOUR contract to you. Go back to the firm you signed the contract with and talk with them but don't you dare say all I care about is money. I represent clients for free and I do work on many cases and do not make a dime. I am a damn good attorney and I fight for my clients and I care but what you said here is totally and completely false.
