1st Class Service and Advice
I first met Andre Minnaar in 2012 when i was a student, looking to get my immigration status in order. 13years later after finally applying for my citizenship, I can say it’s the best decision I ever made walking into Andre’s office to request his services.
[See More]The service i have received from Andre has been absolutely 1st Class. Andre’s knowledge combined with his advice has meant that I have never had any issues when submitting applications. The interactions with Andre have been incredibly professional and refreshing. I appreciate that the immigration system can at times be tremendously frustrating and depressing, however I have been very lucky that I have never experienced major obstacles and that is solely due to the advice and guidance I have received from Andre.
I honestly cannot recommend Andre sufficiently enough. He is brilliant, professional, easy to deal with and takes away the stress and unpredictability of the immigration process. I am grateful for all the help and advice Andre has provided me over the last 13 years and totally indebted to him

One of the best
I have had the pleasure of working with Andre for nearly 10 years, across two firms, and I can confidently say he has been nothing but amazing. His professionalism, kindness, and dedication have been fantastic. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to handle my case, as he managed it with such care, ease, efficiency, clarity, and friendliness. His support and expertise made an otherwise daunting journey so much more manageable. I feel incredibly grateful and relieved, knowing that without him, I truly don’t know what I would have done. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking legal assistance. You won’t find a better lawyer or a nicer person!
