Excellent Service

Mr. Eluwa took the time to explain the court process and was honest in what he could do for me and explaining all of my options. I would request his service again if need be.

Immigration

It was early part of last year that I had the privilege of meeting Dr. John Eluwa being introduced to him... I met with him personally and he took care of my case by way of advice. I was amazed not only with the professionalism with which he handled my case but was very precise. He placed all optio...ns available with ease and I could tell that he is very experienced. I was very satisfied. As I left his office that day he told me I could call or come back if I ever have the need or question. Recently I couldn't make a decision as to what would be the best, reasonable and most assured or guaranteed pathway to my change of status. I was at a point of making a decision but needed his candid advice to be on the safe side. He responded to my call even though it was on a weekend and I'm glad I called because his advice was timely. He is genuine and I am even more confident that he is available even on line.

integrity and honest.

John is more than excellent to me. I will always remember his honest communication to all areas of my needs. He is the first in terms of my legal needs.

Straight and honest

I went to Mr. Eluwa with an immigration case I had been preparing the paperwork for. He reviewed everything I had prepared, and my plan for moving the case forward, and was very honest with me in saying that I understood the facts of the case well enough to not need his services. Specifically, we wer...e applying for a fiance visa but there were extra, lengthy steps because my fiance had been in the country illegally at one point years prior to the application. I was certain we would need a lawyer, but Mr. Eluwa gave me the full time of consultation to go over everything I had gathered, advise me on what to do to keep the case moving forward, and let me know that I could probably do it on my own. I appreciate someone not trying to keep my services and make money off me when it's not necessary. Some doctors aren't even that honest! He was very straightforward, used terminology I could understand, talked in a logical way, and sent me on my way with confidence for the case.

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.
