Thank You Andrea!

“If you want something done, give it to a busy person” (Benjamin Franklin, 1706-1790). This busy person is attorney Andrea Szew. She has perfected the skill of managing an extensive workload while always being accessible which makes you feel like you are her only client. Unparalleled, professional, y...et friendly service delivery fused with her profound knowledge of ever changing immigration legislation (and a background in tax legislation) puts Andrea right by your side to navigate through any stretch of murky water and get you the result you want! Andrea’s immigration practice is a complete first-class operation backed up with solid office support and one that we are delighted to recommend and work with long into the future.

I will use Andrea Szew again next year

I retained Ms Szew in November 2014 to process my P3 work visa when a promoter friend of mine in Las Vegas recommended her to me. We spoke on the phone and although Andrea works out of LA she also comes to her Las Vegas office which was wonderful and convenient for me since I prefer to meet in person.... I found Andrea and her staff to be very effective, efficient and professional. Her fees were competitive and affordable for the service ( I have being doing this for almost 20 years). Andrea or her legal assistant always stayed in touch and kept me informed and replied to me quickly when I had questions. As well as being excellent in her profession, Andrea is also a very lovely genuine woman who is easy to talk to and has a wonderful way about her with people which is very refreshing in this day and age when most people are so connected by technology only. I received my visa paperwork very quickly and am delighted to recommend Andrea without hesitation and will use her again next year and tell my friends in the industry also if they need visas or wish to make a change. "Thank you so much Andrea and Anne-Marie for your excellent service" Maire (professional musician, Las Vegas)

Helpful, Caring and Knowledgeable

Working with Andrea has been great from the beginning to the end. She is very helpful, caring and knowledgeable. Her office is very efficient and her support staff is great. Before working with Andrea I worked with a different office, but nothing come close to the care and attention that I have recei...ved from Andrea's office. Working with her definitely gave me and my husband great peace of mind since we knew that everything was taken care of with utmost care and attention to details. I would highly recommend Andrea to anyone in need of an immigration attorney. With gratitude, Elena

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.
