Very Thorough,Attention to all details

Shaklee & Oliver helped us with several immigration cases — first with my wife's full case, and then later with I-130 petitions for both my parents (just the sponsorship part, since our insurance didn’t cover the full process for them). They were incredibly detail-oriented. At times it honestly fe...lt like too much — they were nitpicking things I thought were already good to go, especially since I had prepared a lot of the documents myself. It definitely slowed things down more than I expected. But looking back, I understand why — they were making sure every single detail was right and nothing would be missed. And it worked — all three cases were approved without issues. I appreciate how careful and thorough they were, even when it felt like overkill in the moment. If you're looking for a law firm that takes your case seriously and doesn’t let anything slip through the cracks, I’d recommend them.

This firm is making our world a better place!

Andrew Oliver and his assistance Silvia and Joryson helped to successfully gain my permanent resident status in order to live together with my husband. He and his assistants could not have been more helpful, punctual, understanding and met all of our needs. The process with immigration was extremely ...stressful due to the epidemic and politics at the time. He took a lot of our stress away by being extremely accommodating with alternative ways of communication. They all ensured things were done correctly and we felt very supported. He genuinely cares about what he is doing and we could tell every time we talked over the phone. We could not give him and his firm higher regards for what they are doing and I would recommend them to anyone with immigration needs. He's one of the good ones.

Great Immigration Attorney

Shaklee & Oliver has helped me with my immigration case from start to finish (U-1 to green card). Andrew personally handled my permanent residency case. He is meticulous, detail-oriented and thorough. My case was approved in 10.5 months without interview. I have enjoyed working with Andrew and hi...s staff - Andrew is professional, knowledge and pleasant to work with. I didn’t feel discriminated against during the time I had undocumented status. Thank you, Shaklee & Oliver for helping me achieve the American Dream!
