Daca to Residence

I had DACA since the start of the program, so I was no stranger to the immigration system. The stakes were much higher with my green card, so I wanted an experienced attorney. Mr. Straub did a fantastic job of preparing my husband and me for the interview. I would have been a complete mess without hi...m. He truly does know how to ease any anxiety prior to an interview and guide us through every possible outcome. I have not seen my dad in nearly four years, and I am so excited to board the flight to visit him finally.

Worst Attorney in Wisconsin

Took our money and did NOTHING... After months of trying to get a very simple thing accomplished, we were forced to find another attorney. The new firm accomplished in 2 days what Straub couldn't do. He hides behind caller ID to only answer calls from new paying customers.... steer clear at all cost... !!!

K1 Visa and Change of Status

We were led to Erich through a family friend and needed an attorney for our immigration proceedings. My husband and I got engaged and had no idea how to proceed. Erich made the process very easy and was in constant contact to answer all of our questions. Not only did he brief us when we had our inter...view with USCIS, but also briefed my husband when he was in the UK waiting for his interview by himself and came with us to USCIS when we had our in person interview together. Erich led us through with ease, was very knowledgeable about the laws we needed to know, and we couldn't have done any of this without him. We will continue to be in contact with him when we apply for citizenship in a few years.

Mr.

Erich Straub was recommended to us by a very good friend and we could not be happier with the help we received. The entire green card application process was made very easy for us and Erich Straub always responded promptly to any questions that arose. He made the entire process far less stressful tha...n we were expecting and very easy to understand. We never encountered any issues which was a major concern given that we had family members who hired other attorneys that were not at allhelpful. We cannot recommend him enough to anyone else who may be going through the immigration process.

Streamlined Process

Dealing with the Federal Government can be intimidating and overwhelming. It turns out there was 70+ pages of government forms, plus evidence that needed to be submitted for our filing. The government filing fee was over $1,700 and the process is expected to take about 6 months. It was quite clea...r that we couldn’t afford to make any mistakes. We entrusted Erich to handle this process and were very pleased. Erich requested our information and documentation in a simple format so that his team could complete all the required forms. We reviewed and signed the necessary documents. Throughout the process, Erich communicated what would happen at each stage. We were 100% prepared and confident. Everything went along smoothly, our interview was a breeze, and my wife’s Green Card was just approved.

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.
