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.

Honest, prompt, direct and personable too!

Attorney Brown was very knowledgeable, and gave me advice in my best interest. She has an approachable personality, which made me feel comfortable talking to her about things I didn't know or understand. At the end of our conversation, her recommendation saved me significant amounts of money, and I t...hink that is quite telling of a quality attorney. Highly recommend.

Permanent Visa EB2

I found Catherine Brown on Avvo.com. She worked with me and my company to file my permanent visa (EB2). I have been working with her for about 2 years now and she is great to work with. She has a great attention to detail. She explained me the steps in detail and answered all of my questions, sometim...es even the unnecessary ones. She has been very patient with me and warded off my worries, because I haven't been very lucky with visas. I definitely recommend her to anyone who needs an immigration lawyer.

THE Best immigration attorney

Catherine and her team were incredibly helpful assisting with the immigration of my wife. I am pretty versed when it comes to paperwork and documents, etc., however I do not know how I would have managed the handle the overwhelming amount of work, paperwork, forms, appointments, etc., etc. And that d...oes not even include keeping up-to-date on the latest legalities. Catherine was always available, immediately answered all my questions and it seemed like she worked around the clock to make sure everything is taken care of and answered. I know we were not her only client but she made us feel like we were. Everything went as smooth, perfect and fast as possible. We are forever grateful and can't thank her enough what she has done for us.

I cannot speak highly enough of how this company, who under extremely complicated circumstances provided a solution, answered ...all of my questions going above and beyond time and again. This company is simply magnificent, where our experiences with other law firms were in a word- terrible. Do not hesitate - hire CB today.

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.
