A great, qualified immigration layer

I and my wife have a great immigration experience with Catherine. She is highly qualified and extremely knowledgeable. Her prompt actions and recommendations helped us enormously to get our green cards fast. I highly recommend her to everyone seeking a successful immigration journey.

I got my green card in less than 6 month

Thank you Catherine for helping me with my I-601 and my I-485. If you are on the fence, don’t doubt you will not regret. I am so happy I now have my green card

Excellent Services

I am a US citizen and wanted to apply for my husband to get his green card but my husband had a voluntary deportation and never left the country. I was told if you have a deportation on your record you are not allowed to return for 10yrs or more. He was detained 8yrs later and was in the process o...f being deported again. I had hired two different lawyers prior to meeting Catherine and just felt they were unorganized and were not doing enough to handle our case that was difficult. The first lawyer did not give us much hope and even recommended we move and live hiding, and failed to tell me we can appeal an important decision. Thankfully we met Catherine one month before my husband had to leave the country and she continued where the other lawyers left off. She worked hard on our case and was very knowledgeable, honest and organized. My husband had to leave the country and returned legally 2 yrs later. Would highly recommend especially if you have a difficult case.

Excellent immigration lawyer

I had come to cathy with little hope after a really bad experience with my last attorney. From the beginning, she was so helpful and supportive. She knew exactly what she was doing. She is confident and her work is always on the point. She is the best immigration lawyer for any kind of immigration is...sues. after almost 2 yrs, my husband and I got our green cards just recently and we are just so happy. I am referring any family and friend to her. I recommend Catherine highly and commend her for her excellent immigration knowledge.

Excellent Service

I had a great experience with Catherine Brown and her staff during the process. Catherine walked me through the process step by step in detail and explained my options during the consultation. Catherine and her staff were available to answer my questions and they were very responsive through out my ...case. All I had to do was submit the documents I was requested and Catherine took it from there. They literally made this process stressless. The prices were very reasonable too. I highly recommend Law Office of Catherine Brown.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
