Best immigration attorney we could hope for

We hired Eric to provide advice and help with all the paperwork to help my wife to obtain a green card. Despite the challenging covid environment, Eric was able to guide us through the process and inquire into any issues/delays. Eric is a calming presence that really help put us at ease. He is ver...y responsive to any questions we may have at random times. We really appreciate having him on our side from the beginning to the end of the process and highly recommend his services!

immigrant visa

I hired Eric to assist me and my wife with her Immigrant visa/green card. The communication between Eric and myself and my wife was excellent. He was very helpful for through the whole process. Everything went smooth and we achieved our goal and Eric was a huge part of that. I cannot speak for an...y other attorneys in that firm but Eric I would highly recommend. Eric made the experience less stressful.

Eric Lorenzo AMAZING

Eric helped me with my husband case (I601A waiver & I130 petition for my husband) He did an amazingggg job, he make sure I had all Docs needed for interview broad, was always reaponsive, very easy to get along. You wont see him as your lawyer, but more as a friend. He always responded within 24 ...hours, his fees I dont think were expensive at all. I mean after my husband came illegally and stayed in this county for 14 years, and Eric was able to get him his papers OMG God bless him, my family feels complete.... Eric will go above ans beyond to get all your case details from you to make sure waiver gets approve... Hes work ethic its on point.... Eric is so attentive that the night before my husband came legally :-) :-) to the US, Eric emailed me asking if everyone was ok... I could only say great things about Eric... I will be forever thankful, he helped me ans my family have a new life.... Thank You Thank You God Bless You ERIC (I called him Eric and not Mr Lorenzo, cuz like I said he will become a friend)

Grateful and Pleased

Eric worked on my husband's case for a little over 2 years. In a nutshell, Eric was really great. He was very informative but more importantly, VERY SUPPORTIVE. He always kept us in the loop with EVERYTHING that was going on, never leaving us wondering. He returned our calls and/or emails in a ve...ry timely fashion and was always willing to go the extra mile to assist us with any needs we had. He prepared us for all court appearances and our interviews. We walked in confidently knowing exactly what to expect. Not once did we ever have any concern that things would go poorly or that we would not know what was happening. If he was going to be unavailable for whatever the reason, he let us know in advance, and always made sure that a colleague of his was present and available to us to address any questions and/or concerns. We honesty, could not be happier with his services and the outcome of this entire process. He was always very professional and was genuinely concerned with our case.

  • 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.
