Lisa does not practice law. She IS the law!! I didn’t get to meet her in person as I was out of the country and it was during COVID so court appearances were by video. I witnessed her take 2 judges, opposing counsel and my ex back to school AND church!! She's not afraid to call a spade a spade regardless of who or what the issue is. Lisa is absolute magic!! Your case is not over until she wins. If she hasn’t won, it ain’t over! Trust her process and I guarantee you will not regret it.

I hired attorney Okoh-Brown to represent me in a child support case. Her rates were very reasonable. She was able to get my child support reduced almost 50%. And while we were at court, she stayed on top of what was going on at court and caught an error that would have caused us to be there all day. She also called me several times the night before to prepare me and to keep me updated on everything. [...] I will retain her services in the future and highly recommend her.

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. [...] 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.

Lisa helped me get a fiancee visa for my fiancee and a visa for her son, and then their green cards. I had no idea how to go about either, and she made the process VERY easy. She sent me all the proper forms with detailed instructions for me to fill out, and she and her group did the rest. And she and her staff were very courteous and helpful with all my questions. We now successfully have their green cards with no hassle.
