You are not alone.
If you or someone you love has been a victim of immigration fraud, finding an attorney who will listen—let alone help—can feel impossible. That is exactly why I built Codias Law. We exclusively represent U.S. citizens who have been defrauded by foreign nationals seeking immigration benefits at their expense.
We practice federal immigration law, serving clients nationwide.
For citizens worried their spouse married them for immigration purposes, we investigate and assess the fraud, then help identify legal options — including withdrawal, annulment, fraud reporting, and BIA fraud appeals.
For citizens facing VAWA fraud, I-751 fraud, or U visa fraud — including false abuse accusations — we investigate and assess the fraud, help you fight back to defeat protective orders or criminal charges, and report the fraud ethically and legally.
For citizens facing I-864 liability, we develop strategies for minimizing your financial exposure — including through withdrawal if possible, fraud investigations and assessments, and I-864 defense briefs for local counsel.
For citizens seeking to end their green card sponsorship, we help withdraw your petition, defend against I-864 claims, and investigate, assess, and report fraud to federal authorities when appropriate.
Unlike traditional immigration attorneys, we do not represent foreign nationals. This ensures our duty of loyalty is undivided and our strategies are shaped solely by the interests of U.S. citizens.
Unlike general immigration firms, our practice is devoted exclusively to fraud, giving us deep insights into the schemes and procedures that most often harm U.S. citizens.
Only a licensed attorney may render a legal opinion on immigration fraud. Non-attorney consultants are not authorized to represent clients or prepare immigration filings under 8 C.F.R. §§ 1.2 and 292.1 — relying on them leaves victims exposed.
We don’t just practice law—we shape it. From securing landmark BIA decisions like Matter of JIN, 29 I&N Dec. 441 (BIA 2026), to exposing the immigration fraud crisis before Congress, to pursuing strategic litigation, we pioneer legal challenges to hold the system accountable.
Our clients deserve concierge-level service that we deliver with consistency and care. That is why we limit our caseload so every client receives personal, discreet, and responsive attention.
Unlike most firms or consultants, we conduct thorough investigations using professional-grade resources — from private investigative databases to legal research platforms and forensic data partners.
Nicole’s spouse committed marriage fraud and forged a joint I-751 petition. Codias Law helped Nicole secure a final order of removal of the foreign spouse to eliminate her I-864 affidavit of support liability. The evidence we gathered through our fraud investigation process helped make the difference.

Codias Law helped a client secure a landmark BIA precedent decision, Matter of JIN, 29 I&N Dec. 441 (BIA 2026), forcing DHS to investigate post-approval marriage fraud—proving an I-130 approval is not a shield against accountability.
Read the decisionIn January 2026, the Daily Mail featured Codias Law’s groundbreaking Direct Harm to U.S. Citizens (DHC) policy framework, spotlighting how U.S. citizens are routinely harmed by foreign nationals without any meaningful recognition in immigration decision-making.
Read the frameworkIn June 2025, Managing Attorney Cody M. Brown testified before Congress, presenting never-before-seen data exposing systemic immigration-fraud failures. His analysis continues to influence congressional oversight and federal policy discussions.
Read the testimonyCodias Law led a national petition to the BIA, backed by over 140 victims, urging the creation of procedures for U.S. citizens to challenge fraudulently approved marriage-based petitions. Our proposed reforms give citizens a voice in a system that has long ignored them.
