Su experiencia y conocimiento es lo que salvo mi caso, la recomiendo ampliamente.

Conocimos a la abogada Erika Jurado cuando la fuimos a ver por un caso de inmigracion muy complicado, habiamos tenido un abogado pero no quiso seguir con nuestro caso porque se estaba poniendo dificil. Fuimos a ver a la abogada y fue la unica que nos explico la ley detalladamente y la razon por la cu...al mi peticion si procedia. Preparo mis documentos y llevo el caso de manera detallada y nos estuvo informando de todo lo que estaba pasando. Cuando tenia una duda y la abogada estaba ocupada siempre uno de sus asistentes con mucho gusto nos atendia. La abogada me preparo para mi entrevista y en menos de 6 meses desde que empece mi tramite me llego mi residencia. Estoy muy agradecido con la abogada Erika Jurado y con todo el personal de su oficina y con gusto la recomiendo a quien lea estos comentarios.

The best! Cannot thank you enough for this ! God Bless

You will not be disappointed with Erika Jurado-Graham! After 2 lawyers and 8 years later we decided to hire Erika...less than a year later we have my husbands residency! This is because of the TEAM work we did together...we did our part ...whatever you are asked to do ..do it asap and you will see he...r team get in action through emails, phone calls they are very quick and accurate! On the first meeting she let us know what she could do for us.. very honest and detailed.. she will not waste your time.. I recommend her to everybody that has to go through this immigration process!

Oralia, thank you so much for your kind review! This is exactly what I tell clients when they come to hire me on a new case. I say that this is a team work and I cannot help them if they don't help me. My staff and I work hard every day on all of our cases and every time a case gets approved we consider it a personal victory. We are that invested in our cases. Thank you for choosing us to help you.

Professional Lawyer really committed to help our Latino community

The first time I heard about Lawyer Erika Jurado was on FB, I was very surprised she was able to chat and let people ask questions and provide with really good and honest answers. Besides being a great Lawyer she is a great person. On Nov 2015 I sent her my case, she took a look and got back to me re...ally quick, we had a video chat and she explained me my options, definitely I want to hire her to take care of my case..

Thank you so much Elias for your kind review. I try to give people general information as to the immigration laws on my Facebook page and that serves as a starting point for them. Many of my followers have been victims of unscrupulous attorneys or notarios and have a general distrust of someone claiming to help them get an immigration status. My goal is making them aware of existing immigration laws through post interaction. We appreciate you choosing our office to process your case.

Avvo Rating

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.
