Very professional and informative

I’m very thankful to Andrew for helping me with the permanent residency application process. I decided to file my own application while along the way, I asked Andrew for his opinion and he was really informative about what I should do. My application went very smoothly thanks to his professional insi...ght. I received the interview notice 6 months after I submitted my application. All in all, I really recommend reaching out to Slepian Law if you have any problems or questions regarding your immigration process!

"Andrew is an excellent attorney with a nuanced understanding of immigration issues. I highly recommend Andrew."

Relationship: Co-worker

"I endorse this lawyer. I refer administrative litigation cases to only a small handful of immigration lawyers. Andrew is one. He has extremely rare skills in this regard. If the matter is under the jurisdiction of the Buffalo USCIS District, call him. (Upstate NY and Connecticut.) He also shows a sincere and intense effort to contribute to the community. He is a high-level officer of the Upstate NY American Immigration Lawyers Association. (AILA) His peers, via a secret ballot, elected him. AILA is *the* leading 14,000+ member Bar association for immigration lawyers. AILA membership is the first step one should take when assessing the qualifications of a potential immigration lawyer. Being an officer of that organization is extremely significant. Again, only the top leadership strata of the immigration Bar normally achieve these titles."

"Andrew Slepian is a highly experienced and highly competent Immigration Attorney. His knowledge of the law and his ability to get favorable outcomes for immigration clients is perhaps only exceeded by his caring and compassion for the people he represents. If one of my clients, or a person in the community ever comes to me looking for an immigration attorney, I always feel confident referring them to Mr. Slepian. I know that his knowledge, experience and ability to craft creative solutions for clients will serve them well, and I always feel confident placing their matters into his capable hands.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
