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 non-immigrant 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.
