Lisa Monique Okoh-Brown

Honestly y'all...this lawyer is amazing. Ms Okoh is willing to do the nitty gritty and the dirty and fight for you until the end. She fights with ferocity and determination and is willing to find every edge she can get you in your case. She is NOT a miracle worker as you shouldn't expect from any law...yer, but she is VERY knowledgeable of the law. She keeps you updated, is timely and has fair prices. If you're expecting a "nice lawyer" this is NOT your lawyer... There is no lawyer you should expect who will be nice to you and get stuff done. You need a lawyer who practices their mean face 24/7 so it comes natural in court. If you want a lawyer who will GET stuff DONE and is timely and keeps you updated on what and when she's working on your case? This is your lawyer. She truly is built different.

Everything i wanted to know about my case,,she said,,,everything is easy,,and i have to consult to the internet when i wanted to know about my cuestions,,everything went wrong...after the interwiew im still waitting for the green card, im understand that its not her fault,, i have to move my case wit...h another attorney because to me she is not competente to handle it. Also she is busy with another bussines (ambit energy). She was suposse to prepare us for the interwiew and she didnt right, she play a video of ambit energy, i was having alots of cuestions about the day but she just said everything is easy easy,,,we waste our time and of course our money. In the interwiew day she was 20 min. Late and she didnt had any id...she said im using that as an excuse but i thing as a profesional you have to have with you an ID that way you can show to the imigracion officer who you are..

This was when Lisa worked for Angela Brown's firm. Angela Brown was the one who did my consult and was excellent at her consultation. She offered a free consultation and made me feel like she would handle my case effectively. She was who I hired, or thought I hired, but Unfortunately, she was never ...the one on my case. The case ended up being handled by another attorney Lisa Okoh-Brown (who I believe no longer works at the firm). My case was a potentially very strong case yet nothing was done with it. Overall, I ended up paying about 15,000 dollars. There was only one hearing and one mediation which Lisa attended. After that, nothing else happened on the case. To save money, I even filed my own discovery and responded back to the opposing attorney's discovery. Even after doing my own discovery, they subtracted another $2,500 to review the discovery that I did only to make one or two corrections... I DID my own discovery and they charged $2,500. I brought this up with Angela Brown and she reviewed what happened. She stated that she would reimburse me the $2,500. That came with a catch... I had to put another $5,000 in as a retainer and then she would essentially add the $2,500. I told her I cannot afford to fill up the retainer fee again and asked if she would be able to just do more work on my case and subtract from the $2,500 she would reimburse me for. She said she could not do that. I asked if I could at least get back my$2,500 if she was going to withdraw. She stated that she could not do that... I spent 15,000 on this firm just for them to withdraw because I could no longer fill the retainer fee to keep them on my case. 15,000 that literally went to nothing. Lisa made me feel like she was on the opposing side. Whenever the attorney would call or email Lisa, not only would I be billed thousands for that, she would call me and tell me to stop what I was doing. She didn't bother to hear my side out and assumed the opposing attorney was telling the truth. I grant the opposing attorney the benefit of the doubt because he was probably being misinformed by his client. Lisa has no excuse. Lisa would speak in a condescending way every time she spoke with me. She was billing me so much because of her ineffective communication with the opposing attorney that I asked her to quit speaking with the opposing attorney unless we had mediation. The opposing party is a millionaire and part of their strategy was to just bill up and up until I couldn't afford representation. I made this known to Lisa and she informed me that she could not ethically cut off communication with the attorney. I told her not to cut off communication but just don't speak on the phone unnecessarily since we were clearly at a point of disagreement and nothing would be settled until mediation. She told me that she did not think she could represent me anymore. I brought this up with Angela Brown, her boss as the time, and Lisa ended up telling Angela that she never said such a thing. Luckily the phone calls were recorded and Angela apologized for what Lisa said. However, that apology did not come with any reimbursement. Lisa attended one hearing and one mediation. However, she made me drive an hour away for mediation only to make an excuse that she could not make it and ended up doing the mediation over zoom. I ended up having to represent myself for the remainder of the case.
