Catherine Olson Brown

Catherine assisted myself and my husband who was immigrating. He had been in the U.S. for over 4 1/2 years. She was friendly, knowledgeable and keep us abreast of everything happening. She responded to emails very quickly, was always available to answer our questions on the phone, no matter how trivi...al. I would highly recommend Catherine for anyone needing immigration help.

Catherine is fabulous. My wife and I needed assistance with our immigration filing and after searching through the tons of lawyers in the area we decided to use Catherine Brown. She is professional, courteous, and an intelligent, good lawyer who knows her trade well. Our particular circumstance wa...s needing to file quickly and correctly. She helped us in every aspect of our case and when it was finished, we had the outcome we were working toward. We had to deal with moving to different states and a family death throughout the process and every step of the way Catherine was always there and able to answer our questions and help us when we needed it. I could go on about the exact details of the case, but suffice it to say that her expertise, knowledge and help took an immense weight off of us. I know there are lots of immigration lawyers in this area of the United States. We were very thorough in our search for the right attorney to help us. We had a lot of problems with other *suggested* people (e.g. not returning calls, not showing up for meetings, and a list of other unprofessionalisms) and we knew Catherine was a bit more expensive. It's all relative though since she is great and we ended up spending much less time and far less headaches with her and were able to put our energy into other things that desperately needed our attention. In summary, I can't say enough good about her. The whole process was extremely stressful and she was a Rock of Gibraltar. Her professionalism and knowledge is exactly what an immigration lawyer should be and her clients are lucky to have her on their side.

From the first time I met Mrs Brown I felt so confident that she was going to be the best lawyer i could ever have and I was not wrong at all !!! She was on top of everything and answering at every single question i had. I had a easy process just because she was very easy to work with...I dont think ...there is a better immigration lawyer than her and i truly believe she could help you to get your green card even if the case is very complicated!!!Mrs Brown,thank you so much we are really grateful!

I contacted Catherine through email while benchmarking immigration attorneys for two cases, one related to H1B transfer from academia to industry, another case related to a complicated pending green card application. Catherine called me back within the first hour after I sent her my email, and we set... a face to face appointment to discuss both my cases and my alternatives. With the first appointment I knew for sure she was the best choice I could possibly make for an attorney, she demonstrated how knowledgeable she is in her field and how much she honestly cared about helping me and find the best way to succeed with my immigration situation. The case for my H1B transfer had a number of uncertainties, the most important one related to the waiting time to enter the yearly gap which could potentially force my new employer to turn down the job offer. This would have left me in extreme difficult times. Catherine did an amazing job researching all the alternatives to bridge the gap (literally), and she did find the way, she found a document which provided all the arguments needed to justify my case and thus allow my new employer to go ahead and hire me. With so much time pressure Catherine stood up for me and made it happen; for that I am wholeheartedly grateful to her. The time taken by USCIS to grant my H1B transfer was largely stretched from the initial few weeks stated in the official communication of receipt for my application. The case was stretched for over six months, during which Catherine continued following up my case on a monthly (or even shorter) basis, sometimes it was required by either my new employer or myself to reach Catherine and she was always available almost immediately. USCIS finally notified this week the granting of my visa transfer, and Catherine let me know about it immediately, which took away a lot of stress and uncertainty off from my shoulders. The result was even better than anticipated. When the application was submitted, Catherine expressed there was a chance that extra evidence would be required by USCIS to support my case; however, the case was granted without needing extra evidence, this is to mention how Catherine will let you know ahead of time which potential complications may emerge during the process so that you will not be hoping on false illusions or get a punch from unexpected outcomes. Catherine is very clear when explaining your current situation, the pros and cons, and the possible ways to proceed, and she will not let you by yourself with uncertainty. I am sure she will research to the edge in her profession to help you be successful with your own case, and if she can't make it, very hardly any other attorney will make it, or give you the confidence and compassion that is so much needed when going through any immigration process, and about this I can speak with confidence; in the past I hired or spoke with other immigration attorneys who were affiliated to prestigious law firms, they could not even offer the alternatives Catherine has successfully researched and found for me. If you are undecided while comparing attorneys at this moment, my advice is to stop thinking about it because you are lucky to have found Catherine. I can not express with words how grateful I am towards her, and hopefully, if you choose to hire her as your attorney, one day you will be as grateful as I am, I guarantee that.
