This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Professional service at every step of the way!!

Oleg is truly a master of his craft!! I can not be more grateful for his advice and guidance in helping me grow my business to the next level! I have had a pleasure of knowing and working with Oleg for a period of 2 years, during which Oleg has always exceeded my expectations on legal advice and gui...dance necessary at each and every stage of our business development. I am proud to say Oleg's services have helped my wife and I build a successful company which now employs 15 full time professionals and on track of opening our second office by the end of this year. Whether it is operating agreements, business contracts and amendments, NDAs or employee contracts, Oleg was very thorough and precise in making sure that we stayed on track every step of the way! I plan on continuing to work with Oleg and would highly recommend his services to anyone looking to expand their business.

Oleg is simply the best!

Oleg was a pleasure to work with and very knowledgeable. He prepared some legal contracts for me and was very diligent meeting deadlines. He was very patient and understanding with my hundred million questions. I would recommend Oleg anytime.

Thank you for a good job!

Oleg Otten is a highly qualified professional who is familiar with his work. I was lucky to meet Oleg and to get my student visa with his help. At the time of application for a visa, I did not speak English and could not apply on my own. I needed a specialist who could speak both English and my nativ...e language. While working on my case Oleg always stayed in touch, kept me informed and answered all my questions. He also gave me moral support. Thanks to this lawyer I got my student visa and graduated from English language school. I would recommend Oleg Otten to my friends or anyone. Oleg, thank you very much for your help. You did a great job.

Excellent lawyer!

I've worked with Oleg enough to say that his knowledge and understanding of the situation makes him one of the best lawyers I've ever meet in my life. He was helping me and protected all of my interests in all deals and contracts I was ever signing. I got only benefits out of deals with witch Oleg he...lped me.

Fiancee Visa

It was very convenient for my American fiancé and me that attorney Oleg Otten speaks in English and Russian, so, we both could have a consultation with him with all questions and problems of our immigration case. Legal help for preparations of all required documents and an interview preparation as we...ll allowed us surprisingly quickly and without any problems to receive visa. Thank you, Mr.Otten.
