Knowledgeable and Easy to Understand. Thank you Erich!

I was having difficulties finding an attorney to help me with my case of bringing my husband over from South Korea. Attorney Straub enabled me not only with the K-1 visa and the green card process, but he was able to relieve my stress of it all. Going through this process is not easy and finding some...one who would help me with my case was just amazing. If you need an attorney, he is the lawyer to call. He has dealt with all cases and is willing to try out ones he has done before such as a case of someone coming from South Korea. Now, my husband and I can live an everyday life together and will call out the services of Attorney Straub when it's time for my husband's green card renewal.

Highly highly recommend! Brilliant

Erich is amazing! I would highly highly recommend him! This process can feel overwhelming and confusing at times. There is so much to think about and to know and that is why we hired Erich. My wife and I are so happy we picked Erich and were able to work with him. Erich made the whole process so e...asy and took all the stress away. He was so helpful and answered any questions we had. He gave me all the tools to help me pass my citizenship test and made us feel at ease during every step of the immigration process. So professional at all times. Thank you Erich! We will miss working with you! If you are looking for an attorney, look no further! Erich is amazing . Highly highly recommend him!

Green Card Achieved with Attorney Straub

Attorney Erich Straub is our superhero. Family stays together; the competency, effectiveness, and sincere care of Attorney Straub allowed my wife, daughter, and I to stay together and be a family. I am a harsh critic when I choose to trust a professional. I expect blunt, un-sugarcoated honesty (if th...ere is a "fire", I want to know directly that there is a "fire"). With an optimistic attitude, Attorney Straub always answered my questions directly with hardcore truth. I appreciated this because if there was a problem, we could immediately figure out a way to resolve it (versus sweep it under the rug). He was very pro-active and always helped us prepare in advance of any significant event. Basically, Attorney Straub is a chess master in this world. Lastly, we were never "minion-ed". From day one to completion (nearly a year of events in our case), Attorney Straub worked and communicated with us directly (no secretaries, no assistants, and no avoidance). He felt our time was as important as his, so he gave his personal attention. Applying for a green card was one of the most stressful, high-stakes event in our lives; yet, somehow we were able to carry on our daily lives, sleep normally, and breathe because we knew once we did our part, Attorney Straub handled the rest with assurance. With the absolute highest respect, our family thanks Attorney Straub for delivering.

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.

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.
