Andrew hails from the farm country outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He graduated from New England schools, where he met his wife, a fifth generation Alaskan. When she brought him back to her beloved Last Frontier, it was love at first sight; he knew it was only a matter of time until he would live in Alaska. Andrew joined Rehbock & Wilson in 2015. He continues the Firm tradition of representing injured workers, helping them to navigate the tricky pitfalls of the Workers' Compensation system and disability. Andrew enjoys hiking, boating, hunting, fishing, snow-machining, and all of the outdoors activities that make Alaska a beautiful and awe-inspiring place to live. He lives in the Valley with his wife, Alyssa.

I focus my practice on immigration and citizenship law and have handled every type of immigration case, from family immigration matters to business and investor cases and citizenship applications. I am a nationally known expert on immigration and national security laws, and have testified regularly before Congressional committees on immigration, homeland security, and military matters. As a retired Lieutenant Colonel in the Military Police, U.S. Army Reserve, I have extensive experience with U.S. military issues. I have also worked as a professor at the United States Military Academy at West Point, and have served as an adjunct instructor at the University of Alaska. I was a member of the American Bar Association Commission on Immigration from 2008-2012. I regularly author articles on military-related immigration issues, and am well-versed on “parole in place” for military family members and the Military Accessions Vital to the National Interest (“MAVNI”) Program. I authored the book Immigration Law & the Military, which was published by the American Immigration Lawyers Association in 2012. On September 25, 2013, I was named a 2013 MacArthur Fellow by the John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.

As an attorney, my primary goal is for you to understand the legal process. Whether your legal issues involve family law, a criminal matter, taxes, or any other legal issue that you may be facing, it is, in my opinion, paramount that you understand the legal process in which you find yourself. Legal proceedings can be very stressful and almost all are unique. By understanding the process you can then make decisions on how you would like to proceed. The role of an attorney is to help you make your decisions and then implement them. There are a multitude of methods to address your legal issue - from court hearings to mediation and settlement. There are also multiple methods to pay for legal services from unbundled, hourly, self-help or a combination of methods.
