Andrew D. Slepian's Lawyer Endorsements
"Andrew is an excellent attorney with a nuanced understanding of immigration issues. I highly recommend Andrew."
"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."
"I had the pleasure of working with Andrew on a few matters. Not only does he know his stuff, but he also has that kind and concerned disposition that clients look for."

"Andrew is what immigration law is all about. He is caring, attentive, talented and meticulous. The new face of immigration lawyers in this country actually cares about the clients and does everything in their power to provide competent, fervent representation. Andrew embodies all of these qualities and much more. It is always a pleasure to work with Andrew and I am grateful to be one of his trusted colleagues."
"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.

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.
