Counseling Indviduals and Companies of all International Backgrounds with Immigration Matters to Living and Working in the United States

The Olsen Law Firm founder, Terrence L. Olsen, Esq., created a law firm that built upon and expanded the practice he started at a local law firm in Chattanooga, TN. At the previous firm, Terrence L. Olsen, Esq. established an immigration law practice that encompassed clients from various parts of the world such as South Korea, India, Taiwan, Germany, Mexico, Latvia, Canada, Ecuador, and Thailand.

The film If There Is A Way is about a married couple from the small African nation of Burundi who fled from their war-torn country in 1972. In 2007, they were relocated to America, but had their children left behind in refugee camps. This is a short film about their experiences in Africa, America, and their hope to see their children once more.



The Olsen Law Firm was officially established in September 2003 in the Hamilton County Business Development Center. In July 2005, the Olsen Law Firm relocated to the Francis Willard Building of 615 Lindsay Street, Suite 330, Chattanooga, TN.

The overall issues facing the Olsen Law Firm as an immigration law firm have been how to operate and develop in a social and economic climate in which new immigration laws and policies are being introduced monthly and are greatly increasing the scrutiny of nonimmigrants and immigrants in the U.S.. With this said, the Olsen Law Firm views its own image as a firm from a local, national, and international level. Therefore, the Olsen Law Firm attempts to communicate through its relationships via its work product, its clients, and the greater community by demonstrating that the world is a much smaller place and so by working and living and treating each other with consistency and respect then all matters social, economic, and cultural can be both enjoyable and positive.
