Immigration 100%

I represent clients in deportation or removal proceedings in Immigration Court, before the Board of Immigration Appeals, and in the U.S. Courts of Appeals. I also represent clients before Immigration and Customs Enforcement regarding detention and orders of supervision. And of course I represent clients seeking green cards with United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, especially family cases.

Best attorney

Mr. Echols is the best attorney I've ever worked with. He helped me to become a permanent resident. Before I've consulted and worked with other attorneys about my complex case , but none could help me. Mr. Echols worked a miracle. He really knows what he is doing, so professional and knowledgable, as... well as supportive and personable. I am touched by how hard he worked on my case. He also has a great presence in court. I give him the highest recommendation to anyone needing immigration help, especially difficult cases. I am so glad to have him on my side, I'm sure you will too!

Truly Great!

I feel so lucky to have met Mr. Echols. Without his help, my family couldn't have been able to stay in the US. He helped my family to adjust immigration status. Before we were feeling hopeless, but after he started to work on our case, we were so impressed with his ability, knowledge, and professiona...lism. He is very honest, providing information upfront and realistic expectations. His support and great attitude along every step of the immigration process was invaluable. He is the role model for other lawyers, and has set the highest standard for this profession.

"Along with Socheat Chea and Joe Rosen, Eli is one of the most knowledgeable and helpful immigration attorneys I know. He is outstanding when is comes to immigration related appeals.
