VERY GOOD LAWYER

Eric wasn’t always quick to respond to our email given he has other clients. However when he responded it was always useful and helpful. His price was reasonable and his information was very accurate! We are happy we chose him and his wife as our lawyers. I am now in the United States with my husband... and very happy. Thanks Eric!

Hire him for help with your K-1 visa!

We give Eric the highest recommendation. He is committed to seeing folks get K-1 visas: (1) The K-1 visa process is very complicated. A friend from China took 3 years to get her visa, because her paperwork kept getting rejected. She and her now-husband are intelligent people, but the process can be ...confusing. Eric thoroughly lays out the steps that need to be taken. My wife received her visa in 9 months, which was what we were told to expect. (2) His price was very reasonable - half of what others charged. (This was so helpful, as the visa process itself is expensive.) (3) And yet he was available and responsive when we had questions.

Excellent Teammate!

The K1-Visa process is cumbersome, it is wise to have a good teammate to help you shoulder the burden. I found Eric Dean and his wife to be excellent teammates. He was very responsive to emails and presented options when bumps in the road came during the application process. He did his job accurat...ely and in a timely manner. As a client you need to do your part, follow his instructions with great attention to detail and together the team will file a very thorough petition. I highly recommend his services and I will be hiring him for the change of status process that will be coming after the wedding. Thank you to Eric and his wife!

not really a good lawyer

eric dean promises the world, like everyone else does, but when i comes down to more than what to fill out on the form, he bails and helps you find alternative options, by yourself, because he can really do nothing more than help your brainstorm options.. Once in awhile a visa needs more than options..., and that is professional help, and Eric is totally incapable of handling this..

This client's (let's call him "Frank") fiancee tested positive for use of illegal drugs. Rather than deny the visa, the consulate put her into a protocol where she had to test every month for a year, and then she might qualify for a visa. So, the consulate basically did her a favor. However, the medical authorities responsible for the testing were not as responsive as Frank wanted when he felt that his fiancee had successfully completed the testing protocol. Repeated calls did not seem to move the needle--basically, the medical testing people held all the cards and it was up to them to declare compliance and put the case on track for a visa, and they were taking their time. This is not a "legal matter" where an attorney can sue someone; it's a matter of bureaucrats finally issuing a favorable report. I suggested (many times) that Frank contact his Senator--because US Senators have special influence in cases of this nature. Frank has an explosive temper. He would call me every 6 months or so, and yell and scream at me, demanding that I get the medical authorities to act, when any number of calls and inquiries failed to get their attention. It looks like the Senator's intervention will finally result in issuance of a visa. That is what I had suggested for the longest time.

Herman Petitioner K1

Eric Thomas Dean is a special and good lawyer, I like how he gave me all instructions and how he prepared our K1 visa case until my fiancee got a visa, to me he is so smart lawyer and God bless him.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
