When I decided to become a citizen, my first choice was to definitely come to Erika. I got to know Erika about two years ago when she worked on an immigration case for a family member of mine.

Erika is very knowlegeable and truly ca...

"I endorse this lawyer."
"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. Yet, her intelligence of the law and successful tract record prove that she is an upcoming Super Lawyer. Ms. Roman has a personal interest in all her cases, understands her clients, and prepared to defend their (Constitutional) rights. With reservation, I refer all my Criminal and Immigration matters to Ms. Roman. You can feel assured that with Ms. Roman, you are not only a case...you are a client."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have personally known Erika and observed her in a professional context for over 10 years. She truly fights for her clients and has the ability to get results in difficult situations where other attorneys would flounder. She doesn't take no for an answer and she knows what it takes to win. Unlike many attorneys, Erika does not rest on her laurels but works to earn her fee, and she has the knowledge and resources to get the best results possible for her clients using all the tools in her arsenal."
"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."
