Dedicated to your success

I made sure to interview several top rated lawyers prior to getting a representation for my immigration case. Eric was by far the best, in terms of his past experience, reasonable fee structure, and honest and sincere attitude. He offers in depth expertise without the what-if fear factors that most o...ther lawyers put up in trying to demonstrate their skills. I appreciated his generosity with his time; without gesturing any favors. He was consistent in his follow up, and performs a thorough review and preparation for the immigration interview. I highly recommend Eric Singer’s legal services.

Expert Immigration Lawyer

I hired Mr. Singer and he worked on our case and i am lucky that i had such an amazing lawyer to guide me through whole process. He is very honest and you can be rest assured that you have an amazing lawyer. I applied K1 for fiancee, and whole process went through fast and easy. Mr Singer, man...aged to file the entire application fast , and it was very thorough, well-prepared application without any mistakes. He was always professional, prompt & informed with his replies to our endless list of questions, and genuinely nice who i am glad to work with. He is an excellent attorney, who is also respected by his peers. He is affordable, he will work with you and be with you every step of the way. I am still working with this lawyer for rest of citizenship process and i am glad that he is taking care of our immigration process. I would highly reccomend Singer immigration law to anyone looking for immigration help.

Extremely helpful and honest!

I contacted Eric Singer for a very tricky situation. While other lawyers scared me and wanted me to pay them $1000+ for this issue, Eric actually cared about me and my issue and did not ask for money. He is extremely knowledgeable and told me what to do exactly. His main concern was me and not money.... He gave me so much hope and even though I had not hired him, he did the absolute most he could to assist me in this regards. He is definitely the go to man for anything related to immigration!

Great lawyer, you absolutely want him

From the get go Eric was really prepared, at our consultation meeting he had already done research on the country and had printed 3 documents of general info on my case. He was always timely and informed me at every step to the best of his ability. He clearly knows what he’s doing and has been doing ...this for a long time. Overall my experience with Eric was superb.

Great Attorney

I called Eric with on naturalization and soon realized I was a great attorney. He took the time to listen to the circumstance around my case, then proceeded to evaluate and explain strategies. He provided me with the facts I needed, with a little sense of humor to ease the delivery of potential serio...us and life changing consequences. He didn’t rush or push for retainer, he was more interested in explaining the legal issues around my case, risks, and recommended course of action. In the end, he suggested I scout around different attorneys for a consensus on the best strategy. He even offered a few colleagues to start off. I’ll follow Eric’s direction on scouting, but already have a good feeling about him and will most likely retain him for his services.
