Quick and helpful consultation!

Called Eric for a tourist visa issue for a friend. Personally took my call, chatted for 15 min, and helped me figure out my situation. Quick, efficient, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Superb Lawyer

Eric is a top notch immigration lawyer. He made every effort to ensure that we comply with all legal matters pertaining to our EB5 petition. Excellent communication skills. All phone calls and emails answered promptly. So why should you believe what I'm saying. Well, my whole family is now in the US ...with permanent resident status (green card holders). If you ever decide to hire an immigration lawyer put Eric's name at the top of your list. Highly recommended.

VISA "O" Extraordinary ability.

Eric is an excellent attorney! He is a professional with impressive knowledge and high personal culture. He was always ready to answer all my questions. My visa "O" was issued in 24 h after applying.

Top immigration lawyer in NYC

Eric Lorenzo was my lawyer for past three years. He was was always very sincere in speaking to me about my very difficult case. I could reach him for any question at all times. His knowledge of law is unquestionable and his patience in relating it to me deserves a praise. He always kept me informed a...bout progress of my case and always sent me a reminder if there were any court dates or anything that needed to be done in regards to the case. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a trustworthy lawyer.

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.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
