Handling My First Traffic Ticket in North Carolina
I received a traffic ticket for driving 15 miles above the speed limit. The following day I received over ten solicitations from lawyers in the area seeking to represent me. This sudden rise to fame and attention gave me the impression I was in serious trouble. And I was. Depending on how I approach the case, the consequences of my infraction include DMV points, increases in auto insurance premiums, and suspension of my driving license. I panicked and called Attorney John Eluwa for consultation. Talking to him was like attending traffic school that broke down all the elements of moving and non moving violations, the severities, and possible defenses. By the time I completed the consultation with him, I was ready to plead my case at traffic court.

Respectful, Comfortable and I received my Justice.
With previous lawyers my money would be taken granted and I was treated like I was unworthy. At times, more fees would be added but no work to show for the money I paid. But with the Law Offices of John Eluwa, PLLC, I was very comfortable. It took time, but trusting John Eluwa was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Tremendously helpful. He didn't waist any time. He keeps his clients accountable and makes sure the job gets done. The Law Offices of John Eluwa, PLLC, will guarantee you get the justice you deserve. And the Respect! And to Mr. Eluwa I humbly Thank you and your team.

Immigration K1 Visa
I hired Attorney John Eluwa for my fiancee's K1 visa application. The firm was very professional and detailed in it's approach to documentation and process. I had some corrections to make on my application, he sent his staff to my place of work. Not all lawyers will do this. His approach to service is impeccable. I am quite impressed.

Informed and Passionate Lawyer
Mr. Eluwa is very passionate and informed about his job and will do anything to help his clients. I chose to speak to him about his thoughts on the travel ban and get some insight on what it's like to be a lawyer at this time and he did not disappoint. He gave some hard hitting facts on the effects of the order as well as some more personal tips and ideas on what the future will be like with this order in place and he even offers seminars for those that aren't clients but need or want more information about what to do at this time. He is very easy to talk to and not only interested in his job, but also the well being of anyone he comes across. I would highly recommend Mr. Eluwa for anyone that wants someone that will care for their case and do anything in their power to help because that's exactly what he will do.

Best experience with high quality service
I've known Attorney Eluwa for the past couple of years and I must say I've had a great experience with him. He is very thorough, organized and allows for a smooth and impressively accurate process. He, along with the whole staff in his office, always greeted me with smiles and were always available whenever I had a question or concern. Scheduling appointments was never a concern as he would always go out of his way to make sure my needs are addressed. Furthermore, he really takes the time to get to know his clients and treats them with utmost respect and kindness. If you are looking for worry-free, high quality service then head over to Attorney Eluwa's office.

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.

Experienced Immigration Attorney
Attorney Eluwa is experienced Immigration Attorney. He will not only defend you your interest, but he will educate you on how he planed to defend you, how the process works, the possible out come of your matter based on your case and the information you provided to him. In my case he has been 100% accurate.

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 were 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.

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 options 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.
