I recommend Erika Roman and her Group team 100%

When a family member recommended a good immigration, lawyer, by the name of Érika Roman I was a little hesitant, but little did I imagine that it would turn out to be the best decision ever to hire her for my case. My case was difficult some said impossible. Previous lawyers had not been able to help me, they let me down. Nevertheless, Erika was easy to work with, and explain the process step-by-step, so that I understood exactlv what was going to happen, and what I needed to do to help me with my case. It is because of Erika that I was able to win mv case and I think her and God that things came out in a very positive way. I will forever be grateful for her support, and help. They are the best thank you so much Sincerely Gutierrez family

Excellent service

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2022.

Discipline with Actual Suspension issued in CA, 2022
updated on 10/27/2022

This sanction means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

Erika's comment: “I am practicing successfully and just had my 9th circuit case win published! This issue took place almost 8 years ago, resulting from my ex-husband bolstering a complaint in order to gain a legal advantage in our dissolution.”

"Ms. Roman receives my endorsement without reservation. Her commitment in achieving successful outcomes for her clients is unparalleled to similar attorneys who practice either Immigration Law, or Criminal Defense. Her passion for excellence leaves her clients feeling secure in their selection of an attorney on their side.

Ms. Roman has a personal interest in all her cases, understands her clients, and prepared to defend their (Constitutional) rights.

"Ms. Roman is an exceptionally committed attorney. She has a great success rate and has developed positive relationships with ICE attorneys-- which is a major benefit for her clients. She is one of the few immigration attorneys who can handle appellate work, post-conviction relief for criminal cases as well as immigration court matters. If my office is too busy to take a new client, I would not hesitate to send that person to Ms. Roman's office."
