Oliver-Zhang Law

Julie came highly recommended to me from a friend who works with domestic violence issues and security in the workplace. I am so happy I followed that lead.
It was the best decision of my life.
I came to Julie with a complicated and urgent situation involving domestic violence, sexual assault, and marriage fraud. I was a victim facing terrifying allegations that I was the aggressor and abuser. I’m a U.S. citizen and a sponsor for my husband who holds conditional permanent residency. I’d suspected he was leading a double life with another wife back home. I wanted a separation and he refused. Julie took great care listening to my story and finding the truth in it. After our first meeting, I trusted her completely. She was compassionate and treated me with the utmost respect and professionalism. Her staff was also amazing in the way they welcomed and supported me. We only had a short time to prepare before our court appearance scheduled the following Monday morning. Julie worked tirelessly all week and weekend long up to the very last hour which was around 11:00 pm Sunday night. She successfully negotiated at that late hour giving me exactly what I wanted — a voluntary separation and property settlement agreement on the house. I am grateful that I did not have to go before a judge and put my horrible domestic life on public display. However, I’m convinced that had we gone before the judge that we would have won. Julie is spectacular and if I were ever to have legal problems related to domestic violence or immigration, I would turn to her in a heartbeat.

One word to describe Julie and her team: amazing. Julie is an exceptional attorney. She is bright and brilliant. Julie’s extensive litigation experience really shined through for my parents’ case. My parents’ employer did not follow appropriate employer protocols and pay my parents accordingly. Due to lack of employment contract and pay stubs, many attorneys turned away my parents’ case knowing great injustice had occurred.
From the onset, Julie was very good at setting my parents’ expectation about the strengths and challenges of their case. Julie and her team worked tirelessly on my parents’ case and they were always cordial and timely in their responses. Julie’s analysis was always spot on. She really helped my parents understand the risk involved throughout different stages of the lawsuit and navigated an otherwise contentious negotiation. After rounds of negotiation, my parents were able to get a settlement that they were very satisfied with. Without Julie and her team, my parents would have never been able to recover the wage owed to them. My family couldn’t thank Julie and her team enough for their dedication, hard work, and perseverance! I would not hesitate to recommend Julie and her team for your legal needs.

My name is Veneeth Iyengar and my wife is happy to announce that she received her green card. We absolutely give credit to Julie and her team at Oliver-​Zhang for displaying tremendous skill and most importantly patience with me in the process of getting my fiancée over from the Philippines and into the states. I wasn’t the easiest of clients and didn’t always listen to Julie, mostly due to an initial failed attempt in filing the initial K-​1 Visa application which USCIS denied. However, when this happened, we engaged Julie and the results were outstanding. She and her team developed a very tactical and well organized approach to developing a very thorough application and because of their initial work a normal decision time of 5 months (at the Visa Center for Step 1) took only 1 month. Then the team was engaged to help my wife through the interview process at the US Embassy in Philippines. Every question was anticipated and the counselor in the embassy was so impressed that after 5 minutes, she was told she would receive her fiancée visa. My wife and I got married on the 31^st of July, 2014 in Washington DC and Julie helped with the final paperwork step of ultimately getting the visa. She is definitely a star! and a very patient listener. She understands the process of immigration and the trials and tribulations that go through. I would highly highly recommend her and her team.
