Very pleased

I'm beyond pleased that I chose the legal representation of Lisa and her staff for my defense in my recent divorce case. Lisa's passion and dedication to prove the facts to judge/jury was exceptional. She is a tireless worker at her craft and seem like never ever sleeps as I would often get emails i...n the early morning with advisement regarding my case. The Okoh-Brown staff always kept me informed of all details needed and filings as well kept me aware of upcoming hearings. I will definitely recommend Lisa and her staff to any of my family and friends who need professional and competent legal respresentation.

The best lawyer I ever Had

IF I could give Ms. Okoh-Brown 20 starts, I would because she is so awesome! I am a young mom and the legal system can be confusing and intimidating. With her, I could sit back and allow her to navigate this complex system for me. She was always responsive when I reached out for advice and she set... me straight when I needed that too. lol. When we attended mediation it was something to watch her work. She anticipated everything the other side came back with. She would not let me budge on what she knew I was entitled too. She also took information that I gave her during mediation and quickly used it to our advantage to get what I wanted. She is a very fast thinker and that is one of the many reasons she is such a good lawyer. If you want someone who will fight for your kids as if they are her own, then you need to call her. Thank you Ms. Okoh-Brown!!

Lisa is a warrior and I have full faith in her and her team.

I just cannot thank Ms. Lisa enough for going above and beyond to help me keep my baby while we fight in court. I am a father of a 4 month old baby and had to take her to protect her. Her mom filed to force the court to make me give the baby back. Lisa drove 3 hours one way to come to court with m...e. She interviewed all my witnesses and designed a winning legal strategy. She defeated baby mom so fast, I didn’t even realize it was over. It was amazing! An hour after court CPS called me based on mom filling false report and the investigator threatened me to take the baby. I called Lisa’s office and she called me right back. She then called the investigator and took care of that. I saw the few negative reviews and I can tell you to ignore them, all of the positive reviews is what I have experienced. She is direct and to the point and some people can take that the wrong way. But ask yourself what kind of attorney do you want fighting for you in court…a puppy or a pitbull. I want the pitbull. I cannot say enough about Lisa and what an excellent attorney she is. She is a warrior and I have full faith in her and her team. My case is not over but I know I have the best chance of the outcome I want with Lisa by my side in a court system where woman are favored no less! I cannot thank you enough Lisa! I would give you 100 stars if I could!

BADASS

Legal Warrior. those are the two words I would use to describe Lisa Okoh-Brown. I cannot thank her enough for getting me my son after a few years of him being kept from me by his dad and dad's family. We went into court in Parker county and his grandma lied and said she didn't know where he was. ...3 weeks later CPS in another state had my child and he had been abused by dad. Lisa got involved and worked with the D.A. and CPS in another state to help them understand Texas law and to not do anything to hurt our case in TX. She was not hired to do this but she really cares about her clients and won't leave you hanging. She then filed a petition back in Texas court which allowed the other state to close out their case. We showed up last week and now I have sole custody and dad is barred from all access. She was tireless in her efforts. She is super responsive. Most law firms you only deal with the paralegals but not here. You pay for an attorney you get an attorney. Just understand she is a straight shooter and is going to tell you what you need to hear. Sometimes you may not like it but just know she is working for your good and will fight for you and your children until the end. If you just trust her and do what she says, you are going to get the results you want. I wish I could give her 100 stars! She deserves it! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart Lisa!!

Amazing

Lisa Okoh is an amazing attorney! She took my divorce/custody case in it’s final stages and completely turned it around. This bulldog attorney worked day and night on my case. She was on top of communication and filing of all paperwork. She builds an outstanding bond with her clients. She works hard... to assure the safety of her clients. She extensively prepare you for trial and is very knowledgeable of the laws. When she hit the courtroom this woman’s on fire and ready to fight on your behalf. In a short period of time she was able to produce an outcome that exceeded my expectations. She picked me up when I was down and her faith carried me when I was weak. She save my case!!! Thank You, Lisa Okoh Brown
