Good Man - Good Lawyer - Erik Anderson

I have worked with Erik for 8 years now as client. What I like about Erik is that he will always give you 1 solution and not beat around the bush. He will say- I recommend this because this and this. End of story. As if he has a program that runs in the back of his mind that quickly computes the vari...ables per your situation, and spits out best solution for your case immediately. I would highly recommend him. He is highly knowledgeble and experienced in Immigration field. If you call him anytime he will give you prompt and best advise over the phone. His fees are economical and he will charge you for consultation only as required. Rest of the time he is happy to help you with his singlepointed focused advise. I call and email bombard him with questions all the time. I am grateful for his help. "Let me find out" or "Get back to you" - are not in his dictionary. Erik will help you stay on course and he is the man you can trust on this treacherous immigration path. Good Man makes Good Lawyer.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
