Client Review by “Nicole”

North Carolina (2025)

I hired Attorney Cody Brown to help me fight back against a foreign spouse who secretly married me for immigration benefits—an effort that ultimately led to an immigration judge ordering his deportation and eliminating my I-864 liability.

My husband had not only committed marriage fraud but had also forged my signature on a jointly filed I-751 petition and submitted falsified documents to deceive immigration authorities. I later discovered he had even lied under oath about his education, claiming to have attended a university that later confirmed he had never been a student there. It was a devastating betrayal, and for a long time, I didn’t know how to make the government see what had happened.

From the very beginning, Attorney Brown understood my situation and knew exactly what needed to be done. He guided me through each step—helping me identify and gather the evidence, preparing a detailed fraud assessment with clear recommendations, and executing our strategy with precision and care. I have never met any other professional as meticulous as he is. His attention to every detail and commitment to accuracy gave me complete confidence that the truth would come out.

He later prepared an extensive investigative report that documented the evidence of both marriage and document fraud in extraordinary detail. His work was professional, thorough, and persuasive. Although the process took longer than expected, Cody’s persistence paid off—my husband was ordered removed from the United States. When I received confirmation of the final order of removal, I finally felt an overwhelming sense of peace and closure after everything I had endured.

Working with Codias Law was an experience of professionalism and compassion. Cody’s integrity, precision, and relentless pursuit of justice gave me strength. I cannot recommend him highly enough to any U.S. citizen who has been deceived or defrauded in marriage.
