The best immigration lawyer

We worked with Mr. Singer to get naturalized and he was incredible. The process is so overwhelming and stressful but he was so professional, kind and patient in seeing us through the entire thing. Our case was particularly complex and he did an excellent job so we could feel confident in the path f...orward. Mr. Singer is extremely knowledgeable and he walk you through each step of the process. He is even coming with you to the interview. If you are looking for an immigration attorney we would strongly recommend to contact mr. ERIC SINGER.

Honest and professional.

My husband and I are extremely happy with the counsel Singer immigration law provided during my Visa status adjustment. From beginning to end Mr Singer handled every detail with professionalism and expertise, answered our questions in a timely manner. He was available at all times to answer ever...y question that we had. If you want the confidence that your case is going to be handled by the best in the nation, I highly recommend Singer immigration Law.

The best

I found Eric online because I had been stopped at customs for incident I had done and was not aware that my residency could be taken away from me which they did and I had to go to present documents in order to retain my green card back. Scared that it would be taken I contacted Eric and from the begi...nning of my conversation I knew he was good. His customer service is great worth every penny I spend for him to represent me, as the day got close we met n he read me the laws of immigration statuses and what they can’t and can do everyone who deals with incident with immigration can always panic because they tend to intimidate you...I felt great about having Eric represent me and of course when I had to appear back at custom and present the information they wanted Eric prepared a letter for me stating why they could not take my residency (green card) and with all the documents I presented they gave me my green card! After that I wanted Eric to continue to represent me and help me with my naturalization, with his guidance of course he told me to wait at least one more year and stay out of trouble. Not so long after I contacted him back and we started the process of my naturalization he worked with me and helped me even submit my paper work which was so helpful of course we did this together providing all my information to him, after the submission like 2 or 3 months later we received the letter for me To get my finger prints and picture to send with my package to be reviewed which we did and than the wait of my interview appointment which due to everything happening in our country it has gotten difficult but we had faith that everything would work out for the best and it did 5 months later I received notice that I was scheduled for my interview and Eric made sure I studied for my test and started prepping for it.. a week before the interview I met back with Eric and practice what was going to happened and prepared my document to present let me tell you he did such an excellent job gathering everything for me and indicating me on what to get and from who and even picture and people who have know me for years. My interview came and I wouldn’t want no one next to me other than Eric I was nervous but having him beside me I felt great and confident everything was going to b great. I am here to say thank you to the great job and effort as well as dedication I passed my naturalization test and was accepted as well. This wouldn’t have happened without Eric’s help. I can’t thank him enough and I will be sending anyone I know and needs help and guidance with immigration issues to him. THE BEST all I can say! Thank you again!! Highly highly recommended Eric. Yesterday I went and oath now I am a proud US Citizens of the United States of America.

Strong & Positive Commendation.

As my Lawyer,Mr Eric Singer, advised me on the process of my immigration case, the Pros and Cons related to his advise. He channelled my case through the Immigration court to a final decision, when I gave up my permanent status. He further channelled and advised us on the process of reapplying for a...nother permanent status through my wife. He followed up the process for, three years, until it was approved and I returned as a permanent alien status. Finally, he has been giving my guidance and advise throughout my stay to date, especially, now that as am applying to be a citizen. He has not only been my lawyer , but a friend.

Kind, Knowledgable, Caring, Thoughtful, Informative, Best Attorney I've Ever Dealt With.

I found myself in a unique circumstance about a 15 months ago with regards to my status. I've been living in the country since I was 10 years old and had a permanent residency card that was issued and subsequently expired (never renewed) but since I came here at such a young age, I had no clue that... I needed to take action. Fast forward to last 2018 I found myself in a situation where I did not know what my true status was in the country. Luckily for me, I found Eric and had a chance to chat with him on the phone before we moved forward with partnering. At a high level, Eric knew, right away, that I would qualify to apply for naturalization given my circumstance. Form the start, Eric was kind, attentive, very knowledgeable, great listener and overall a good human. He provided guidance to me every step of the way and he seem to always be one step ahead in identifying potential challenges or questions that could come up with my case. I'm still not sure how he did this for me and my family but in less than a year, I went from uncertainty to being naturalized and it's all because of Eric. There are not enough superlatives I can come up with to tell you how amazing of an attorney he is as well as a person. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone.
