Paul J. O'Dwyer

We’re very grateful to Paul O’Dwyer for helping us win our asylum case in court. Our case was complicated, with many long and stressful hearings, and he took over after another attorney. Paul handled everything with great care and professionalism. He prepared us well, explained every step clearly, an...d always made us feel confident, protected, and supported. We highly recommend him to anyone dealing with an immigration case.

I had the privilege of having Paul represent me throughout my complicated and arduous immigration case. Throughout the entire process, I was immensely impressed as Paul adeptly navigated the legal intricacies of my very complex and nuanced case, providing clear guidance, promptly addressing my concer...ns, and fervently advocating for my interests. Thanks to his strategic approach, expertise, attention to detail, and unwavering commitment to ensuring we never gave up until my case was resolved, we finally achieved a successful outcome. I am deeply grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Paul and highly recommend him to anyone seeking outstanding legal representation in immigration matters.

Paul O'Dwyer's representation was instrumental in my journey from a political activist and human rights defender fleeing Russia to finding asylum in the United States. Despite the complexities of my case, including over a hundred pieces of evidence of persecution and my limited English, Paul's de...dication never wavered. His comprehensive legal expertise, coupled with genuine empathy and the provision of a translator, ensured seamless communication and a deep understanding of my situation. Winning my immigration court case on December 27, 2023, was a testament to Paul's unwavering commitment and exceptional skill. I am profoundly grateful for his support, which was not just about legal success but about safeguarding human dignity and justice!

I was eligible to apply for a green card back in 2014 and decided to do so on my own; but for some reason my case got stuck in a never ending black hole with USCIS for almost 20 frustrating months although I had properly filed my case. It was a big mess with a really complicated situation. I made the... best decision and hired Paul with the confidence that I would simply work with the best attorney there is to file a "Writ of Mandamus" against USCIS. Long story short I am finally a permanent resident. I am an example of many happy clients Paul has. I strongly recommend Paul O'Dwyer for his superior service. He is truly an excellent attorney who can handle the most complicated immigration matters. Hire him and have the peace of mind that Paul will do what needs to be done.

Paul has represented me since 2002 in a very complicated immigration case, after I was ordered deported because of the actions of my former lawyer. My case went to the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals, where we had a victory and became a legal precedent, and the deportation order was vacated and I was a...ble to become a permanent resident. I was in immigration custody for fourteen months while my case was being decided in court. During that difficult time, Paul made himself available to answer my phone calls and provide me with status of my cases while pursuing multiple legal avenues to get me out from detention. Paul became more than a lawyer during that difficult time and always demonstrated through the whole process that he has the skills and experience to argue and win complicated cases in multiple courts. Paul later represented me in a malpractice action against the immigration attorneys who mis-represented me and ruined my first immigration case. I was awarded $1.2 million in damages, and Paul won the subsequent two appeals of that case. Paul demonstrated that he is capable of preparing, arguing and winning a case in front of a jury and appeal courts and his experience goes far beyond that of immigration. My story has a happy ending: after 10 years I am a US citizen, earned a MBA from a good business school, and enjoy the benefit of a great job. I would not have accomplished all these without a great and competent lawyer like Paul O’Dwyer.
