Remond Atie founded his law firm specifically to help immigrants, a founding purpose that continues to shape the practice today. As a General Civil Mediator with more than 15 years of legal experience and more than 2,000 completed cases, Atie has built a firm that spans immigration law, personal injury, and business law, with offices extending from its Southfield, Michigan base to Illinois, Texas, Florida, and Dubai. The main office is located at 30555 Southfield Rd Ste 420, Southfield, MI 48076, reachable at 248-544-4060. Full information is available at atielaw.com/
The $100 million threshold in settlements recovered for clients is the aggregate result of 15-plus years and 2,000-plus completed cases across a diverse practice. That number reflects personal injury recoveries and the full scope of what the firm handles, including immigration matters where outcomes are measured in status granted, families reunited, and legal pathways secured rather than in settlement dollars. The breadth of the practice, from E-2 investor visas to motorcycle accident claims to Social Security disability appeals, means that the firm serves a client population with genuinely varied legal needs.
The international office in Dubai, combined with the Texas and Florida locations, positions this firm to serve immigrant and international business clients who move between countries and jurisdictions, a practical reality for many of the people the firm was founded to serve.
Practice Areas
The Law Office of Remond Atie, PLLC operates across three primary legal domains:
Immigration Law:
- Family immigration
- Non-immigrant temporary visas
- Immigrant permanent residency visas and green cards
- E-2 Treaty Traders and Investor Visas
Immigration law is the foundation of the firm’s identity. The full range of immigration services covered here addresses both people seeking to bring family members to the United States and those pursuing business-based immigration pathways. The E-2 Treaty Investor visa is of particular relevance for clients from treaty countries looking to establish or acquire businesses in the United States, a specialized and fact-intensive area of immigration practice. Permanent residency applications, green card petitions, and non-immigrant visa work represent the more commonly encountered immigration matters that individuals and families need help navigating.
Personal Injury:
- Slip and fall accidents
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
The firm’s motorcycle accident practice is grounded in awareness of a critical statistical reality: motorcyclists are 28 times more likely to suffer fatal injuries than car drivers, and the United States sees nearly 100,000 motorcycle accidents annually at a cost exceeding $16 billion. This is not background information; it informs how the firm understands and argues the severity of motorcycle injury cases.
Social Security Benefits:
Representation for clients pursuing Social Security disability claims, an area that intersects significantly with the immigrant community the firm serves, as well as the broader population of people who have been injured and can no longer work.
Business Law and Corporate Law:
Legal services for business formation, transactions, and corporate matters, with particular relevance for the entrepreneurial and investor-class clients who pursue E-2 visa pathways.
Attorney Profiles
Remond Atie is the founding attorney and a General Civil Mediator. He established the firm with a specific purpose: providing legal help to immigrants. That founding mission has expanded over 15 years into a multi-state, multi-discipline practice, but the original commitment to serving immigrant clients remains central to the firm’s identity and day-to-day work.
His mediator credential reflects expertise in litigation and conflict resolution, both of which are relevant across practice areas. Immigration matters sometimes require advocacy before agencies; personal injury cases often resolve through negotiation; business disputes can benefit from mediation. The ability to function as both advocate and mediator gives Atie a broader set of tools than litigation-only practitioners possess.
With 2,000-plus completed cases over 15 years and a multi-office presence extending internationally, Atie has built a practice that serves a geographically and legally diverse client population.
Location & Service Area
The firm’s primary office is in Southfield, Michigan: 30555 Southfield Rd Ste 420, Southfield, MI 48076. Additional offices are located in Illinois, Texas, Florida, and Dubai.
Within Michigan, the firm serves Detroit, Sterling Heights, Southfield, Troy, Warren, and Lathrup Village, along with clients throughout all 50 states. The all-50-states capability is particularly relevant for immigration matters, which are largely governed by federal law and do not have the same geographic restrictions that state court litigation does.
The Dubai office is significant for a firm founded to serve immigrants: it provides a presence in a city with a large international business community and significant cross-border movement between the Middle East and the United States, relevant particularly for E-2 investor visa clients and business immigration matters.
Phone: 248-544-4060.
Client Focus
The firm’s primary client population is immigrants and their families, from those seeking to bring relatives to the United States through family immigration to entrepreneurs pursuing investor visas to workers applying for permanent residency. The founding purpose of helping immigrants is not incidental; it defines the firm’s culture, the services it emphasizes, and the network it has built across multiple states and internationally.
The personal injury practice serves an overlapping client base, since immigrants and non-immigrants alike are injured in car accidents, slip-and-fall incidents, and motorcycle crashes. Access to legal representation for personal injury matters is particularly important for people who may be unfamiliar with the American legal system and the time limits and procedures that govern their claims.
The business law practice serves both immigrant entrepreneurs and established business clients, with particular depth in the E-2 investor visa context where the legal requirements for the business itself are directly connected to the immigration outcome.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the E-2 Treaty Investor Visa, and who qualifies?
A: The E-2 visa allows nationals of countries that have a treaty of commerce with the United States to enter and work in the country based on investment in a U.S. business. The investor must make a substantial investment in a real, operating enterprise and play an active role in managing it. Eligibility depends on the applicant’s nationality (the country must have an E-2 treaty with the U.S.), the size and nature of the investment, and other factors. This is a specialized visa category that requires careful preparation.
Q: What immigration services does the firm offer?
A: The firm handles family immigration, non-immigrant temporary visas, immigrant permanent residency visas and green cards, and E-2 Treaty Traders and Investor Visas. Immigration law is the foundation of the firm’s practice, and the range of services covers both family-based and business-based immigration pathways.
Q: Does the firm handle personal injury cases even if the client is an immigrant?
A: Yes. Immigration status does not affect a person’s right to pursue a personal injury claim in the United States. The firm handles car accidents, truck accidents, slip and fall, bicycle accidents, and motorcycle accidents for clients across all 50 states.
Q: Why does the firm note that motorcyclists are 28 times more likely to be fatally injured than car drivers?
A: That statistic, drawn from safety research, illustrates the disproportionate physical risk motorcyclists face in any collision. It is directly relevant to how motorcycle accident cases are valued: the severity of injuries is typically much higher, and the damages, including medical costs, lost income, and long-term disability, reflect that reality. Knowing and presenting this context is part of how the firm builds strong cases for motorcycle accident clients.
Q: What Social Security services does the firm provide?
A: The firm represents clients in Social Security disability benefit claims, which are pursued through the Social Security Administration’s administrative process. These cases are particularly relevant for clients who have been injured and are unable to work, as well as for others who qualify for disability benefits.
