“After years of well-publicized litigation involving numerous high-powered attorneys, I think Cody Brown at Codias Law was the single best legal investment I made. My journey began in a seemingly hopeless situation, where I was ensnared in a web of deceit and false accusations by someone I once trusted and loved. The pain and turmoil I endured were indescribable, but Cody Brown was my guiding light through the darkest times of my life.
From our first consultation, it was clear that Cody Brown was a unique attorney who was deeply empathetic and demonstrated unwavering support. He took the time to understand every facet of my case, meticulously analyzing the facts and developing a strategy that was both comprehensive and precise.
The loyalty and support I received from Codias Law were beyond compare. In a world where legal battles can often feel impersonal, Cody treated me like family. He was always available to answer my questions, provide reassurance, and offer guidance. His belief in my innocence and his dedication to my case never wavered, even when the odds seemed insurmountable. Occasionally, it felt like he was the only one who had my back.
What sets Codias Law apart is the commitment to delivering a premium quality work product. Every piece of evidence gathered and analyzed was done with the utmost professionalism and attention to detail. Cody’s thoroughness in investigating the fraud perpetrated against me was nothing short of extraordinary. He left no stone unturned, ensuring that every angle was covered and every inconsistency in the opposing party’s claims was exposed.
One of the most invaluable aspects of Cody’s assistance was helping me understand the motivations and actions of the perpetrator. The insights he provided into why she did what she did was eye-opening and helped me make sense of the chaos that had engulfed my life. This understanding was crucial not only for my legal strategy but also for my personal healing process.
Moreover, Codias Law’s exceptional work significantly altered the leverage in course of the lawsuit. Cody’s strategic approach and comprehensive evidence compilation placed me in a stronger position, ultimately leading to a favorable outcome. This achievement brought much-needed finality and closure to the case, allowing me to move forward with my life.
I am now in a place of peace and rebuilding, thanks in part to Codias Law. Cody did not just represent me legally; he treated me like a human being. If you find yourself in a situation where you feel powerless and wronged, I wholeheartedly recommend Cody Brown. He will stand by you with unwavering loyalty, deliver exceptional legal expertise, and guide you through every step of your journey with compassion and care.”

“From the beginning, I believed I had found someone who shared my values and dreams. She presented herself as a devout, family-oriented woman, and I was captivated by the life we envisioned together—a life built on mutual respect, love, and a shared commitment to starting a family. But that dream quickly unraveled into a nightmare. After we married and she secured her immigration status, her true intentions became devastatingly clear. Her affection and promises, which I once believed were genuine, turned out to be part of a calculated scheme to exploit our marriage for immigration benefits.
Looking back, the signs were there, but at the time, I simply didn’t understand what was happening. Her drastic change in behavior after entering the United States was alarming. She secretly used birth control despite our plans to start a family, demanded financial benefits, and emotionally manipulated me with threats of self-harm if her demands weren’t met. She even tried to isolate me from my daughter, whom she cruelly dismissed as a “mistake” and treated with cold disdain.
The ultimate betrayal came on the very day her green card literally arrived in the mail—she packed up and left, taking all her belongings and the immigration paperwork with her. As if that weren’t enough, she then falsely accused me of abuse in a protective order proceeding, a calculated move to qualify for a waiver of the I-751, allowing her to retain her immigration status without my support.
It was only then that I fully understood the depth of her manipulation. Her abrupt departure and the subsequent false accusations were not just emotional blows; they were deliberate, premeditated acts of fraud designed to secure her future in the United States at my expense. This experience has left me shattered, struggling to reclaim my life, trust, and dignity, knowing that I was nothing more than a pawn in her calculated journey to gain permanent residency.
Throughout this ordeal, I encountered a local legal system that seemed indifferent to the exploitation of immigration laws by foreign nationals. The courts appeared blind to the realities of how these laws can be manipulated against U.S. citizens, and I felt overwhelmed by the complexity and unfairness of the process. The abuse of protective orders further compounded the issue, making it even harder to find justice and protect my rights. At times, it felt like I was fighting an impossible battle, where the truth was buried beneath a mountain of legal maneuvers designed to exploit every loophole at my expense.
Then I found Codias Law. Attorney Cody Brown didn’t just provide legal representation—he became a crucial advocate in my fight for justice. Cody took the time to truly understand the nuances of my situation. He saw through the tactics being used against me and approached my case with a level of insight and determination that I hadn’t encountered elsewhere. Where the local courts had failed to grasp the bigger picture, Cody recognized the manipulation at play and gave me candid and informed advice on realistic ways to address it. His ability to dissect the complexity of the situation and provide a clear path forward was nothing short of remarkable.
During the long and painful process of legally dealing with the end of my marriage and the abuse I was falsely accused of, I encountered numerous lawyers, all of whom either coldly dismissed what I felt were injustices by saying there was nothing they could do or interrogated me as if I was on trial, making me feel like I had to fight to be heard and understood. Cody stood apart from the rest because he listened and wanted to understand; he was committed to extracting the facts from my story and backing them up by hard evidence, while still honoring my experience and perspective.
The work product Cody delivered was exceptional and meticulous, uncovering the full extent of the fraud and abuse I had suffered. His responsiveness, honesty, and ethical commitment were evident in every step of the process. Unlike larger firms where I felt like just another case, Cody made me feel heard and valued. I firmly believe that you get what you pay for, and hiring Codias Law was worth every penny. Cody’s dedication to uncovering the truth and his relentless pursuit of justice brought me a sense of hope I thought I had lost.
In a legal system where victims of immigration fraud often feel overlooked and powerless, Codias Law stands as a beacon of hope. Cody didn’t just represent me—he fought tirelessly to ensure that justice was served. If you need a lawyer who will listen, understand, and deliver real results, I highly recommend Codias Law. With Cody, you’re not just hiring an attorney—you’re gaining a dedicated advocate who will stand by your side and fight for the truth.”

“As a young woman, I was deceived into marriage by an illegal alien from Mexico. Less than two years into our marriage, I discovered that the man was homosexual and had married me in a selfish pursuit of a Green Card. The entire experience was traumatic and life-changing.
I did everything in my power to notify the federal government of the fraud and stop the Green Card process. I sent letters, knocked on doors, and even made phone calls. Nothing worked. USCIS even waived the marriage interview and approved my I-130 petition regardless of my correspondence. I felt shocked, dismayed, and hopeless.
I reached out to countless immigration attorneys but not a single one would take my case. I realized very quickly that there was little to no help for victims in my situation. All the immigration attorneys I spoke to told me that they work in favor of the illegal alien and that they also did not have any experience with cases like mine.
Then I contacted Attorney Brown at Codias Law. He listened to my story, educated me on the laws and the process, and explained how the law applied in my case. He was particularly helpful in educating me about the value of an annulment in the immigration process.
Attorney Brown fought hard for me. Since the petition had already been adjudicated, he helped file an appeal with the Board of Immigration Appeals. He also helped prepare a notification to appropriate DHS officials regarding the facts and fraud in my case.
Eventually, Attorney Brown helped me to, among other things, leverage an annulment to stop the Green Card process in its tracks. He not only helped me fight back against a fraudster, he helped me fight against an unresponsive federal bureaucracy.
Today, thanks in part to the work of Attorney Brown, I have been able to turn this chapter of life. His work played an invaluable role in allowing me to move on with my head held high towards a brighter future God has planned for me.”

“My husband is a 100% service-connected and care dependent disabled Marines Corps veteran with two Purple Hearts and stage 3 colon cancer. After Russia invaded Ukraine, out of the goodness of our hearts, my husband and I sponsored a Ukrainian national for the Uniting for Ukraine program. Unfortunately, this decision led to our own humanitarian crisis.
After arriving in the United States, the Ukrainian national began mentally and financially abusing us, even demanding cash payments and refusing to leave our home. She claimed we had to pay her and provide free lodging on the basis of an affidavit of support. This caused severe stress and additional health problems for my husband and me, including an emergency room visit. We eventually fled our home, incurred the additional cost of a separate apartment while on a fixed income, and were forced to sue the Ukrainian in state court to repossess our own house.
We were desperate for help. We wrongly assumed that someone from the government would step-in and protect us. Unfortunately, nobody lifted a finger, until we found Codias Law. Their website was the only place we found that provided useful information and context for victims of immigration fraud. Attorney Cody M. Brown helped us immediately understand what was happening, why it was happening, and what we could do about it.
Attorney Brown worked collaboratively with our local attorney to prepare the legal research and analysis related to the federal immigration issues. His exceptional legal skills helped us secure a court order defeating two contract-based claims based on the federal affidavit of support.
As importantly, Attorney Brown treated us like people, not merely legal clients. He genuinely cared about our well-being. He was interested in hearing every detail, and always responded promptly to our communications. He was professional, honest, efficient, courteous, and has excellent manners. It was very comfortable communicating with Attorney Brown. We always felt like we were in good hands. We wish there were more attorneys and people in this world like Mr. Brown.”

“When I sponsored my immigrant wife for a Green Card, I was unaware of the full financial implications for doing so. After discovering that my wife was leading a double-life, I became particularly concerned about my liability exposure. I did not know what to do or how to do it, until I spoke with Attorney Brown at Codias Law.
Attorney Brown made it extremely easy for me to self-schedule a consultation and communicate with me about my case. He provided direct access to his email address, mobile number, and even his calendar.
Less than two weeks after my initial consultation, I received confirmation from USCIS that my petition had been automatically revoked and my liability terminated. He provided clarity and stability during a time of profound uncertainty. Ultimately, he saved me a ton of aggravation.”

“I was exposed to a marriage fraud where I found out that I was used by my wife just to get the green card. Confused by such huge fraud and deceit, I didn't know where to start to report this marriage fraud to USCIS authorities.
Searching for help on the internet, I found the page ‘Codias Law’. After reviewing their organized and well-crafted page, I established contact with attorney Cody M. Brown in a first telephone appointment.
I can say that the attorney Brown is a professional of a very high level, someone who knows very well the immigration laws that, added to his professional ethics, respect, responsibility and honesty, guarantee the good support and legal guidance necessary to be defended and produce strong and necessary documentation to be presented before immigration.
I highly recommend the legal services of the ‘Codias Law’ firm and in particular attorney, Mr. Cody M. Brown.”
