Would Not Recommend Mr. Eric Price

I hired Mr. Eric Price and his team in 2023 to help with my immigration case. I primarily worked with his assistants, Carlos Alvarez and Andrea. From the beginning, I was told my case would be simple. I paid a $500 deposit upfront and agreed to a total cost of $5,700, which I paid in monthly installm...ents of $270 starting in August 2023, to February 2025 when they were paid off. Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. Despite making regular payments and providing all required documentation—including a FOIA CD from my previous immigration file—no applications were ever filed on my behalf. I was not given copies of my contract, receipts, or any proof that work had been done on my case. I had a prior immigration case from when I was younger, which required reopening and paying a penalty of $1000, in which Mr. Price and his team were supposed to file and help me pay. This was supposed to be included in the original agreement, but I was later asked to pay an additional $1,400 plus $3,115 additional to what I paid already. This felt misleading and unjustified. The only consistent communication I received from the firm was when they were requesting more money. When I asked for a refund due to no action being taken on my case, I was denied. I’ve also requested the return of my documents, which has not yet happened. I trusted this firm with a sensitive and important matter in my life, and I deeply regret that decision. I strongly recommend others do their research and consider different legal representation.There is more to add but that I will add when I file a report to the State bar.

No professional at all!

Unfortunately I didn’t meet Eric Price, I came to there San Diego location in Mission Valley. I had “appointment” at 9am. I was there first appointment and they open the door 3 mins late. I had to feel out paper work. Then waited for like 30 mins and ask the receptionist how much longer till they see... us. The reception I replied with “I don’t know yet let me text the lawyer because she’s not here yet”, I saw her make a phone call and talk to someone else to help us. She then click the phone and said “they will see you but in 15 mins more or so or you could come back”. Really!!! I drove from Spring Valley early in the morning in traffic to get 0 results or no help at all. It’s really unprofessional that I was not told that the lawyer was going to be late! Or it’s was gonna be almost and hour process to see someone. I had to lose time from my job and drive tru traffic about 40 mins to get nothing not very business like. If there are professional at this point business imagine when they have your case.

worse experience

Worse experience, poor customer service, they made several mistakes in front of USCIS officer, my case was about to be lost, thanks to poor performance of their paralegals, after you hire them, you don't have contact with a lawyer, the only contact is with paralegals, and Issac was the worse represen...tative of this business, several mistakes on the paperwork, they delayed my case and seems that they don't have experience on specific case, if you can avoid them. there are others with much better experience. when I spoke with Eric, he told me "you are my customer, you are not my boss" when pushing his team to make the things right, I'm paying thousands for their services, he is very arrogant, They made to waste my money, time, in unnecessary process like requesting a FOIA that wasn't necessary, and they make me pay it, that reflects their poor experience and professionalism. avoid them, see all the reals reviews at yelp. all reviews in google are by fake accounts and employees. Also the "paralegal" Issac that yelled to my wife at the Starbucks, didn't drive 100 miles, it was 39 miles from their office in LA to the Starbucks location I have the location, that is a lie, he told us that he lives close by, and he was meeting other clients in the same Starbucks, either way wherever they drove, is nothing vs. what was paid. you have to be calling them and be over their shoulders, in otherwise they won't do anything and if they do it, be careful, their paralegal made a lot of mistakes on the paperwork. Also, it was totally lying about 6 months, it was 3 years to get done for their several mistakes, I'm really mad with their unethical business.

Replied last October 27, 2017

I regret not being able to meet your expectations for our firm. However, I need to make clear a few points: (1) I obtained your permanent residency in a reasonable amount of time and for the agreed upon fee. (2) The process did take longer than I anticipated, but that was due to delays within the government - not with my work. (3) I am ALWAYS available to my clients and provide each and every one with my direct email address. I specifically met with you on multiple occasions. Regardless, there was obviously some breakdown in communication if you felt the way you did to write this review. I apologize for any shortcomings on my part. I hope that your new legal status we obtained for you allows you the peace of mind you were searching for in this country. Good luck in the future and hopefully you will apply for citizenship in the next couple of years.

Impressive Law Firm

I'm very pleased with the attorney Eric Price. He helped my mom become a resident in 5 months! I was a bit skeptical at first because I didn't understand the process. However, after the attorney and his assistants guided me through the immigration process, I felt very comfortable with him. I felt his... attorney fees were reasonable. I've read the bad comments below and it's clear those individual do not understand how a professional law firm functions. Overall, this is a fantastic law firm and I'm so happy to recommend them to friends and family. Thanks again!
