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.

,

Muy mal servicio yo los contraté hace 4 meses para hacer la cita consular , hasta hoy no han hecho nada, siempre he estado llamando y preguntaba por la señorita Adilene y nunca pude hablar con ella asta hoy día, la semana pasada llamé y pregunté como IVA el caso me dijeron q ya habían nacido los doc...umentos q ya solo estaban esperando la respuesta de inmigración, y hoy pude hablar con Adilene y ella me dijo q los documentos no se han enviado todavía, de verdad q estos no son buenos, y lo peor q a mi me cobraron todo el dinero por adelantado no les debo nada y así no han hecho su trabajo.

very unprofessional

We had a very bad experience with this office twice PLEASE DO NOT GO THERE! I signed a contract with them and it was very very hard to talk to someone that knew our case. first they forgot to call us about our fingerprints and we lost our appointments, they gave me another appointment and They ...made a mistake and gave me the wrong one. We decided to cancel and get someone more serious and a smaller firm where we could actually talk to our lawyer. We never had that privilege with Eric price. is always receptionist, and customer service. They cancelled our contract and everything was fine. We got ourselves another lawyer and finished the process with our new attorney. We got approval for a work permit a few months later. unfortunately USCIS takes a long time to do address change and Our papers were delivered to Eric Price's office. We called to get Our papers and the first thing they told us was that I am not their customer anymore and that our mail was going to be DESTROYED. We knew this was Illegal. We called again and the second time they were black mailing me with signing another contract or we wouldn't get your papers. ( this was illegal too) We decided to call the bar association and discover that Eric Price doesn't have a License in California. We were filing a report and we decided to give them another chance to give us our papers. This time my wife agreed to pay them $500 because we really needed our mail. ( this was Illegal too) They can't charge a dime to give you your mail. Finally my lawyer called many times and thanks to her We didn't have to pay to get Our mail. Our lawyer told me they had a very hard time with the receptionists and She didn't get all the papers. They kept our SSN's and approval letters. We are ready to suit this company besides filling the report with California and Florida bar Association. (where Eric Price does have a License) please people don't make the mistake we made, It costs time, money, anxiety and lots of stress.

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.
