T It was after working with another Lawyer for three months that I he handed over my immigration case to Andre R. Olivie. For me, this seemed like a setback because I had lived in the US for three moths without any status and being away from my family, friends and country was taking a big toll on me.... But immediately we started interacting on Client-Lawyer basis, Andre struck me like a sympathetic man who took my case with enthusiasm and dealt with it very professionally. And as idleness, loneliness and deep sense of loss ate into my resolve and self-confidence, Andre kept assuring me that "we will win." I must say that though I had a credible reason to seek asylum, at times I didn't share Andre's optimism. But I listened to him and did what he advised particularly in relation on how to gather and present evidence for my case. Eventually, I was granted the asylum and I owe it a lot to Andre's tenacity, his patience to keep working on my case for long months and the fact that he went out of his way to help me recover lost confidence.
