Avant Advocaten

After months of struggling to get my student finance from DUO, I contacted Avant Advocaten, and it was the best decision I could have made. Mr. Gor Gabrelian guided me through the entire process, clearly explaining my rights and each step involved. He was consistently patient, professional, and focused. Without Mr. Gabrelian’s help, I wouldn’t have been able to secure the student finance that I was rightfully entitled to. For any student facing issues with DUO, I strongly recommend reaching out to the team at Avant Advocaten. Their expertise truly makes a difference.

I sincerely recommend Avant Advocaten and, personally, deeply appreciate the work that both Gor and Patrick did for my case. I'm a non-Dutch, EU citizen, and after DUO unlawfully rejected my request for student financing aid, I reached out to Avant Advocaten asking for their service. The process was far from smooth, with several rounds of rejection and appeal all the way to the Centrale Raad van Beroep (CRvB) (the highest Dutch court of appeal) on a legal dispute that took almost 5 years. However, I was fortunate to have Avant Advocaten by my side to help me every step of the way.

I sincerely recommend Avant Advocaten to anyone in need of legal help. The firm, especially Mr. Gor Gabrellian, helped me appeal to DUO after they unlawfully rejected my application for student finance. As a non-Dutch student I had limited knowledge of the bureaucracy behind DUO and if it wasn’t for the help from Avant Advocaten I wouldn’t be able to successfully appeal DUO’s decision. It took a while, but yesterday (over a year after my graduation) DUO reverted their decision and I will get all the student finance I was supposed to get. Thanks to Mr. Gabrellian for his help - he was patient and communicated with me in English clearly about all the aspects of the case.

My experience with Gor and Avant Advocaten was extremely positive. As an international student with limited Dutch skills, his support navigating a situation regarding my student finance was invaluable. I received careful guidance through a very long process and all my questions were answered very thoroughly and patiently. I can really recommend them, and encourage other international students to seek legal support in these cases.

Patrick handled my case with professionalism and patience. I faced a complex situation with my landlord, which made the case particularly challenging. Throughout the process, Patrick provided clear guidance and expert advice, ensuring all necessary steps were taken efficiently. Thanks to his work, I was able to recover the overpaid rent and reach a fair resolution. I’m very satisfied with Patrick’s representation and would recommend him for difficult housing cases.
