Excellent Lawyer that treated you like family!

I was served with a deportation notice back at the end of 2009. My husband and I was so scared and could not even imagine to be separated. The uncertainty of my situation was so nerve racking and lead to a lot of sleepless nights. Then we met Mr. Erich Straub. Oh, what a blessing! Erich and his fir...m gave us hope. They went way far and beyond from the time we hired them, through all facing Immigration court which was way beyond we could have imagine. They gave us back our life and most of all our happiness as well us they brought our family together. They help us brought my kids here from the Philippines. Erich Straub and his firm brought way too many blessing, happiness and betterment of our family. They help us from getting my Green Card , bringing my kids here from the Philippines as well as getting my kids and my own Citizenship. Erich Straub and his firm are not only our lawyers but our family, that is what they made us feel all throughout our immigration journey. We are forever grateful and are honored to have you helping us. My family and I without a doubt will recommend in a heart beat Straub Immigration to anyone who needs an immigration lawyer. Mr. Erich Straub and colleagues , thank you so much for everything!

Green Card Application

Even with DACA, the thought of my husband’s green card interview was really intimidating. My husband and I wanted an attorney with knowledge, experience, and confidence. When other lawyers started recommending Mr. Straub, we knew we had to see him. He was always on top of our case as if he could do t...he process in his sleep. My husband was two years old when he came to this country, but getting his green card made him feel like he finally belonged. He has decided to go back to school, and we cannot wait to visit his family in Mexico for the first time.

Mr.

All my documents were spread out on Mr. Straub’s conference table. I was completely stressed out, but he calmly explained the process and said he could file the application before my visa expired in just a few weeks. I had such a feeling of relief.

Having no status to citizenship...

I came to the U.S. when I was 8, but I always felt like an American. With citizenship, I finally feel safe for my kids and me. Mr. Straub represented me for 10 years, starting with my DACA and green card applications. I would have been lost by myself. He made me feel protected.

Green Card application

My experience with Erich could not have been better. Through out the whole process he made sure that me and my wife had all the necessary documents for our application. He reached out to us with reminders of important dates before we even got the notice from the immigration office. We always felt lik...e Erich took our case serious even though the Covid situation ended up giving him a busier schedule that usual and we always felt like he had our best interest in mind. Erich knows the Green Card process inside and out so I definitely recommend him for anyone who wants to get their process done correct and as smoothly as possible.

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.
