Attorney Kristine Aarre Hånes is an authorized asylum lawyer and is regularly appointed in cases concerning asylum and protection. We have specific experience in cases involving unaccompanied minor asylum seekers, converts, and issues related to women’s rights. Additionally, we are members of The European Legal Network on Asylum (ELENA), which ensures that we stay updated on the latest developments in asylum and refugee law. 

RettAdvokat also assists in family reunification cases, helping families navigate the legal landscape to ensure they can be reunited in Norway. For Norwegian employers wishing to hire foreign labor, we offer advice and guidance throughout the entire application process. 

For many issues related to immigration law, such as deportation, citizenship, and appeals against asylum rejections, there may be an entitlement to free assistance covered by the government. For other matters, such as applications for reconsideration, family reunification, or work permits, we offer legal assistance based on our competitive hourly rates.
