The best immigration attorney

I have been thinking about obtaining citizenship for over 40 years. I started to file the N-400 form by myself at first. The previous N-400 form was so cumbersome. It required much information that was in my old passports and I could not locate them at the time. Then, on and off, I tried to comple...te the form several times. I was not much moving forward until I found Mr. Andrew Oliver. At my age (late 70s), I needed someone to motivate me and move me in a right direction. Mr. Andrew was so helpful in guiding me filing the N-400 form. His staff member Suzanne Tierney was very helpful also and was very patient with me. They were always very prompt answering my emails. After I received the notice from the Homeland Security Office for my naturalization interview schedule, Mr. Oliver spent several hours with me to prepare for my interview. I practiced my interview with him. I am truly glad that I had the opportunity to practice my interview with him. All of his advice and suggestions were very valuable. Mr. Oliver was very patient with me. My interview went well and I am now a U.S. Citizen. Without his guidance, I might be sitting in a different situation. Thank you very much, Mr. Oliver.

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.
