Out of the Box Thinking, Knowledgeable and Incredible Results!

My immigration case was a complicated one due to missing documentation. For many years I sought assistance from multiple attorneys, most from large well respected law firms. They would listen to my situation and confidently state they could find a solution. One after the other, they would take their ...initial fees (which were typically very high) and then I would not hear from them further. Upon pressing for answers and updates, they would respond that it was impossible for me to obtain legalized status. This went on for years and I became hopeless and discouraged. Then I came to find Eric Mark through a family member referral. To be honest, I was hesitant in the beginning as I’ve been taken for a ride by so many before him and he seemed to be so young. What could someone so young in the field do, where so many older more distinguished attorneys could not do? Eric Mark brought fresh ideas and the kind of out of the box thinking that was both refreshing and uplifting. He was honest and set expectations of the process to come and possible outcomes right from the start. Throughout the process I felt I actually had someone in my corner that not only knew the laws inside and out but also knew where to look for answers and opportunities that many have never brought to my attention (or possibly knew about). Thanks to Eric I now have received my Green Card! This would never have been possible if not for Eric and his in-depth knowledge of the laws as well as his continuous effort and follow up. If you have even the most complex immigration case, I highly recommend you seek out Eric Mark.

If you are looking for an experience knowledgeable immigration lawyer STOP here!!!! Eric Mark is your 'MEDICINE'for your immigration case. Previously I was working with two different lawyers but it was useless. I had a very complex case . I don't want to go into details but I rather mention that... my 601 waiver was not approved three times. When I met Eric Mark for the first time I felt instance confidence . Soon,me and my husband had an interview in USA in January 2015,but to our surprise again we were not approved. It was such a disappointment.... In spite of that ,you can't give up with Eric Mark. Erik Mark decided to appeal our denial in Washington DC He was very enthusiastic about it .I gather all required materials to start our appeal.Needless to say ,Eric Mark was there for 24/7 to answer your emails or calls. And trust me, with anxiety you have at that time it is a bit annoying ,but not for him . Now , it was a time for agonizing wait with AAO department . I must mention that Eric Mark was very supportive for all the time .It is so important to have a lawyer with kind HEART!!! After 7 months of agonizing wait , I received an email from my awesome LAWYER : Congratulation We WON !!!!!!!!!!! Appeal is Approved ! Tears from intense happiness,endless JOY to win frozen endless case !!! What a great feeling to WIN along with super professional lawyer and staff ! If you don't want to lose your precious time, start working with Eric Mark today ! He is a real PRO!

Yours was one of the cases that books can be written about. It took over three years to accomplish the goal, but we did!

Best Immigration Attorney with Excellent Dedicated Service!

Me and my husband were searching for an attorney online and found Eric, here on Avvo. The reviews were excellent so we decided to set up an appointment with him. Once we left a request with his secretary, Eric called us within a couple of hours to discuss our case. He was very outgoing and at the sa...me time attentive to all the details. Eric is for sure, a people person, he accommodated and worked around our busy schedules to set up an appointment. First we've tried to file everything ourselves, for me to get the green card and we've messed up some forms. At our first appointment with Eric, he right away pointed out at the mistakes while just glancing at our case. After we left his office we felt released and knew for sure that we're in good hands. He gave us the list of things we needed to do in order to fix everything and we diligently followed all of his instructions. During all time he was here for us, 24/7 with immediate response time, answering any questions we may have. Our interview took us about 20 minutes and the USCIS officer barely asked any questions since he had Everything in front of him and that was all due to Eric and his team! We would happily recommend Eric to anyone seeking help with their immigration case, Eric is The Best in his field! Thank you Eric! Sincerely, Joe and Larissa

You guys were a great example of why not to go through these processes without a lawyer. I'm glad you came when you did so we were able to get you approved smoothly.

An Excellent Immigration Attorney

I found Eric very knowledgeable, prompt and efficient. I only had two meetings with him, one to hand over the copy documents and a second time to sign the various forms.I got my EAD & Advance Parole in three months and my Green Card in the fourth month. Excellent service. Will recommend highly to any...one who needs help with immigration.
