Outstanding lawyer

Mr Eric did an outstanding job by successfully suing the INS on my behalf, he won the case without me even spearing in court. He is very honest, professional, and reasonable. As of February 2016 I had become a US citizen. I recommend his services with an absolute confidence. Thank you very much Eric ...for working hard on my behalf.

A very professional and responsible immigration

Mr. Singer is a very professional immigration lawyer with great integrity. He help us win a difficult case. We are deeply impressed by his dedication and commitment to his work. He is very detail oriented and comprehensive thinking. For our case, Mr. Singer took a lot of time to prepare all kinds of ...documents and explain to us patiently various possible outcomes and countermeasures. For our hardship, he is full of compassion and kindness. Ever since we first met him, we feel that he is a trustworthy and exceptional lawyer. Mr. Singer exhibits a realistic and practical style, not boasting, hiding or exaggerating. We thank God leading us to meet Mr. Singer and we would highly recommend him.

Best attorney for immigration

I have been waiting for 2 years for my citizenship since I applied and had my interview, and no luck. I contacted them many times and nothing happened. I called Eric and had a talk with him about my problem and he listened and provided some suggestions, and he gave me his pricing and I set up a meeti...ng with him. He sent a request through his channels, and 3 weeks later I received a letter for my oath ceremony, and after 2 weeks I became a US citizen. I recommended my cousin to go to him for a similar issue. A very friendly person and I recommend everyone to go to him.
