Philip Alan Eichorn's Reviews

I hired Mr. Philip Eichorn to help me file my immigration papers. I am an Indian citizen, who entered US on F1 visa and I met my wonderful wife (American Citizen) and got married while I was still in college .We dint file my immigration papers after our marriage as I was busy with my college schedule. After I finished college I got my OPT EAD card and was working and in July 2011 my college was under USCIS investigation and my status was in jeopardy. I contacted many attorneys before Philip, but dint get good suggestions. When I contacted Philip he evaluated my situation and gave a very prompt feedback about how to go ahead and save my status. After meeting Philip , me and my wife had complete confidence in him and his team and we were sure he knew what he was doing. He has immense knowledge and is a trustworthy person .

I filed my papers in Aug 2011 and got my got my GC approved in the first week of Dec 2011. Throughout the process Philip and his team worked closely with us and were very supportive and prompt with their work. His prep sessions were very helpful and he gave us the real feel of the USCIS interview . He and his team treated us very politely and dint not make us feel as if we were just a case #. Camille is one of his team member, who is a wonderful lady who always greeted us with a smile and was very good to me and my wife.

All in all Mr. Philip Eichorn is an efficient and straight forward person and has an amazing team. I would definitely recommend him for others who are in search of an efficient attorney.
Reading some reviews before have helped me personally and I hope my review would also be helpful to others .

Thanks
Happy Holidays .

I hired Mr. Eichorn to help file immigration papers for my Japanese wife on a fixed contract. I hired a lawyer because she was once refused entry to the US and I thought we would have trouble.

We were both living in New Zealand and wanted to do everything from there. Mr. Eichorn said we could. We then hired Mr. Eichron and started the process. Everything was supposed to be done through email and a couple phone conferences (which he later refused to take).

Immediately we had trouble with his firm. No initial starter email was sent, no formal instructions on what was going to happen, no road map laid out. He was very condescending to us every time we asked a question and his staff made numerous amounts of mistakes (that we were charged for). Even though I was the customer, I tried to go along with his demands.

4 months later, way too much time wasted, and zero progress, Mr. Eichorn informed us that the laws were going to change soon and that he didn't want us to file yet because of this. I asked him why and did not receive a response. I looked into the change and found out that we could file directly to the NZ consulate. Mr. Eichorn never suggested this and said we should file in the US. After asking advice on this topic, Mr. Eichorn told us we asked too many questions, we were not profitable for his firm, and said that if we wanted to continue that we would need to give him more money.

We then went separate ways. Mr. Eichorn charged me a ridiculous amount of money for almost no work completed. We were also charged for him to look up laws for filing abroad. Something he said we could do before we signed a contract.

After parting ways, I went against Mr. Eichorn's advice and filed directly with the consulate in Auckland. The people there were very friendly and we had no trouble getting an immigration visa for my wife in less than 3 months.

This lawyer will overcharge you, look at you as strictly an income, and possibly give you bad advice. I would no way recommend him to anyone. He wasted 4 months of our time and a lot of our money. On top of that, he does NOT have the knowledge. If you see other comments about him being smart, it's about him finding good ways to take your money.

Attorney Philip Alan Eichorn is a very caring and responsive lawyer. When I called him to request his service, I had already spent hours calling law offices where people were quite prejudiced and unresponsive. Once I called Mr. Eichorn, he gave me so many information for free and was so willing to help me out that I did not hesitate to work with him. Besides, when you go see him, you will see the most relaxed and confident professional you can ever see. Above all, Attorney Eichorn had an excellent lawyer represent me throughout my immigration paperwork applications. Thank you.

- quickest response, intact answer, good listener.
- Excellent customer service, he understands clients very well.

Attorney Eichorn has been of great help. He is really knowledgable and will help you get through your issue. He enjoys tough cases and nothing stops him from doing his job. He makes you feel comfortable. He is always on time and responds to questions and concerns in a timely manner. He is the best lawyer you could have. He helps you understand whats going to happen and will always email you on updates in your case. Attorney Eichorn will amaze you at how good he is at his position. He is very friendly and has a great personality. I highly reccomend this lawyer. I wouldnt choose another lawyer.

From the very beginning Philip took charge in aggressive defense helping my wife and me fighting INS deportation and removal procedures. I am a US Army soldier and unfortunately US Army JAG does not represent you in Immigration court. I was forced to look for an attorney in the private sector. The second I called and gave an overview of our case I heard Phil saying: "I will be happy to get your case and I know exactly how to handle it" ...and he did. He kept us informed at all times and was very accessible through the e-mails and personal cell phone. My wife now is a Permanent resident of the US with 10 years Green Card. We are very happy with the outcome of the case and now trying to forget that horrible moment of facing deportation.

Background: I came in the US on an F-1 Visa in 2003 met my husband (US Citizen) in 2005 and we got married in 2006. We filed (ourselves) the petition for Alien relative and the adjustment of status in 2007. I Graduated from College in 2008 and got a job (I maintained a legal status all this time). In early 2009, I was laid off and my husband was unemployed as well. He later got arrested for a few misdemeanors. Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, the INS sent us a Notice of Intend to deny the petition for alien relative because we did not have enough evidence of a bonafide marriage.
In search for the right person to represent us during these difficult times, some lawyers told us that our case would get denied regardless of what we did at that point and that the best way would be to just reapply after it was denied to avoid deportation. We were just devastated but didn’t give up. After doing some research, I found Philip on aila.org and decided to give it a shot. Since the very first call, we knew that Philip was the Right lawyer for the job. He immediately reassured and convinced us not to give up. He told us that our case should not be considered denied until it actually was. I tried to ask him what we should do in case it was. He refused to discuss failure because he believed in trying very hard and he did a tremendous job. He handled our case very professionally and was very energetic and creative in the process of doing so. Philip knew exactly what to do and that was very reassuring. Few weeks later, the INS approved our case and I am currently a permanent US resident. During the process and even after our case was approved, Phillip was very caring. My husband is now out of trouble and we are very grateful to Philip. I would use his services again without hesitation if I ever need an immigration lawyer again. I would recommend Philip to any friend or family member.

I transferred my case from a different attorney to Phillip Eichorn because I felt that I was being treated like a case number and not a human being with unique problems. I was not disappointed. I did not have to go through an army of secretaries and electronic voice prompts to reach him. Anyone who has been through a crisis realizes the importance of reassurance and the need for human contact at the source of resolution of the crisis; I got that with Philip Eichorn. I have actually recommended him to my department for other colleagues who need the services of an immigration attorney. He's an extremely competent attorney and makes it look so easy. Best of all, he's a good guy.

I met Mr.Eichorn two years ago when he was with a large law firm in Cleveland. When he started his own business last year I chose to stay with him. Since that time he has worked diligently on my case. I find him to be trustworthy, knowledgeable, energetic and efficient. When I met Philip I was going through a difficult time in my life. He was understanding, supportive, and gave me the best possible legal advice as he led me through the obstacles of immigration. I felt safe and secure with him and knew that I am not along with my problems. I fully trusted his advice. I would highly recommend him to anyone who has imigration issues. I know that he is the best lawyer for your job. Thank you, Philip!

My husband and I used Philip Eichorn for our immigration case. We started the process in November and I received my green card in March.
I cannot recommend Phil enough. He was very knowledgeable about all areas of immigration and explained all the aspects that pertained to our case in easy to understand non-lawyer speak. Phil was always available via email or phone to answer all our questions and allay my fears (of which there were plenty).
Even though it was his birthday Phil flew to Charlotte for our hearing and even though we had every ready, just having him there made all the difference.
At every step on the process Phil was there to make sure we were as prepared as possible and I know without him I'd still be waiting to hear if I could stay in the USA. Thank you Phil.. :)
I would recommend to anyone that they use Philip Eichorn for their legal issues. He didn't let us down and I know he won't let you down either.

Our experience with working Mr. Eichorn was incredible. He is wonderful, very knowledgable and excellent lawyer. WE WILL HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM.
He made our 2008 unforgettable for us and gave a piece of peace in our life.

I, a US citizen, and my wife, a foreign student in the US, had been trying to obtain her permanent residence for over a year before we met Mr. Eichorn. We originally tried to maneuver the maze of Customs and Immigration on our own, but experienced a number of problems along the way. It only made matters worse that USCIS was little to no help for us, often giving us the cold shoulder and telling us to go home and wait.

All that changed after we found Mr. Eichorn. He understood our situation and was able to help us resolve all the issues surrounding our case. He was able to get answers out of USCIS when we couldn’t even get the time of day from them. He knew the laws (often better than the Immigration officers,) and knew exactly who to talk with at USCIS to get the ball rolling.

His service in handling our case was impeccable. His knowledge of the law is excellent, he has always responded to us quickly, and has always kept us well informed of developments with our case.

My wife and I highly recommend him.

The only thing we regret is that we didn’t find Mr. Eichorn sooner.

I have worked with numerous attorneys and can honestly say that the experience with Mr. Eichorn was pleasantly not the norm. He actually performed the services needed and did so with a caring work ethic that is very rare among lawyers. I mattered. My case was important. I had his undivided attention when I needed it and his schedule allowed for that time. I never felt that I was rushed or that he needed to be somewhere else when we met.

My husband and I had argued, in one form or another, with the INS/CIS for close to ten years before we were connected with Phil. My husband wanted his citizenship with a passion that it is difficult for an American (by birth) to understand. It was a lifelong dream and with all the bureacratic nonsense and ridiculous time delays that we experienced, the dream looked more and more like it would never become a reality.

Then we found Mr. Eichorn. Phil understood. He got it! He truly represented my husband with, not only his knowledge, but also with the passion that is impossible for the average person to present to the deaf ears of government employees that always met us with a, "yeah, moving right along, who cares" attitude. He knew what INS/CIS was allowed to do and what they were not allowed to do. He knew the laws. His written work products were so concise, in fact, that a case that could have been held up for years in Court was won without even having to appear in Court.

My husband's lifelong dream realized on April 4, 2008. Mr. Eichorn attended the ceremony with us in a gesture of friendship and refused to be paid for doing so, even when I insisted. He is more that an attorney for us.

Mr. Eichorn's excellence and work ethic would be very hard to match. He is the best man for your job. My husband, THE AMERICAN CITIZEN, and I have no doubt that if he says he can help you, he will, and if unable to help you, he will not lead you to believe he can.

You can trust what he says. Probably the most important of any traits one needs to consider when selecting an attorney.

There are no words to express the gratitude and respect that we feel for Mr. Phil Eichorn. What price would you pay for peace of mind? There is nothing more valuable.

I would HIGHLY reccomend Philip Eichorn to any one & everyone.
He really is the Best! Don't mess around with ANYONE ELSE! He's what you are looking for! My husband and I give him an EXCELLENT overall rating.
