Recommended from Start to Finish

I had a very complex case based on asylum; due to my previous travel history visiting the US and returning my home country, filing for asylum would be difficult. But after years of turmoil, fear, isolation, I had no choice. After reading an article about Andre helping another asylum seeker win his ca...se and establishing a new chapter in his life here in the US, I embarked on the same journey. Andre laid it out from start to finish what it would take and the realities and consequences applying for asylum. Along with his friendly and knowledgeable team, I applied for asylum in late 2018. By early 2019, I had my first interview. I was accompanied by Andre who was there with me and helped to ensure my thoughts and experiences were expressed. A couple months later, Andre informed me of the life changing news my asylum was granted. I was not only shocked but numb at the same time, because this finally meant I could feel safe, guaranteed a chance to start a life in authentic way without repercussions. But also, to fulfill the American Dream, which is life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Since gaining asylum, I have utilized Mr. Olivies services to apply for permanent residence and renewed by work permit. If you need a solid immigration attorney that will tell you the reality of the process, but also remove complexity, provide clarity, reassurance and understanding, Andre is definitely what you need.

Great lawyer!!!

Andre is a wonderful lawyer who has helped me with my political asylum case. He is very honorable and answers questions that are not related to my case. Andre has helped me in many ways and would be a great lawyer for anyone looking for immigration help. Thank-you so much for everything you have done....

Andre managed my asylum case

Andre is an excellent lawyer and a wonderful kind person! I was so lucky to find Andre on avvo, couple of years ago, while was desperately searching for a lawyer, as my asylum application deadline was getting close. Having had poor experience with previous lawyer I was a little anxious going to... the initial consultation. It exceeded my best expectations: Andre was genuinely attentive, knowledgeable, respectful and to the point. He answered all my questions, offered a plan of actions, explained details of asylum application process and accepted my case for a very reasonable fixed fee with possibility of paying in installments. I walked away from his office with a peace of mind, knowing that my case and future is in good hands, at last. He has done an amazing job and within quite limited amount of time my case was fully prepared, included all necessary research and was properly organized with all the main points emphasized accordingly. I never had to worry about making copies, sending it out to the right address or missing deadlines. Andre always kept me updated, always found a time to address my many questions and his friendly understanding manner made it easy to talk to him, regardless of language barrier or painful asylee background. As a result of his professionalism – I successfully got granted asylum after the interview. Throughout these years he helped me so many times, often going above and beyond: reminded and helped me to apply and then renew my work authorization; wrote a legal memo, explaining my status that helped me to reason with DMV workers; took and printed my passport photo, when I forgot to bring one; even gave me a ride to and from the asylum interview, as I don’t drive – and many more. His integrity, support he provides and dependability is striking – I highly recommend Andre Olivie and will definitely use his services in the future!

Immigration - Asylum

Andre represented me in my asylum request process and I can testify that he is an excellent immigration lawyer. I was recommended to him by a community service board member, and from the very first time I met him until and after I was granted asylum, he was so helpful. First time I met him, he listen...ed to my story very carefully, explained how my story fit to to asylum application process and then he helped me throughout the application process. Andre takes more time to help his clients. In my case, he had been closely following the situation in my country. Whenever there is a change in my country, he knew it before me (it really surprised me) and he had been calling me to discuss the change or current circumstance in my country in the context of my asylum application. He answers phone calls or return voice mail immediately. He replied to emails quickly. Andre helped me get asylum. I really recommend Andre for those who are seeking asylum. He is great and excellent!
