Ademas el enfoque personalizado se refleja en la ayuda que le damos a nuestros clientes mas alla de la asesoria legal porque entendemos lo estresante que es un proceso migratorio. Le agradezco sinceramente su preferencia hacia nosotros y esperamos volverle a servir.

Experienced, knowledgeable and affordable.

I am an US Army veteran and went to see Ms. Graham to try to get my wife her residency. Ms. Graham explained the options we had and told us about a new policy for family of military. She was able to take us step by step throughout the process and went to the interview with us. She was very accesible ...and never treated us arrogantly like other attorneys we talked to before coming to see her. She is very popular with the immigrant community and we found out about her through a friend of mine. Every time we had a question, either herself or members of her staff made sure we got a prompt answer. I highly recommend her and will definitely be back to see her when my wife is eligible for naturalization.

Danny first of all, thank you for your service to this country and thank you for your kind review. The new military parole in place program helps many families stay together. I do try to keep people informed through my Facebook page which now has over 200,000 followers all over the country. I am happy that we were able to be a small part of your family's american dream. I wish you the best!

Oscar muchas gracias por su comentario. Siempre he creido que mas vale una colorada que mil descoloridas. No me gusta mentirle al cliente ni darle falsas expectativas sobre su caso y creo que gracias a que siempre hablo con la verdad la gente me busca. He manejado ya miles de casos de inmigracion lo cual me permite con gran precision saber en que casos puede arreglar una persona y en que casos no vale la pena ni arriesgarse. Me da gusto haberle ayudado y ser una pequeña parte de su sueño americano.

Very experienced immigration attorney at a fraction of the cost of expensive immigration law firms!

I went to see Erika to try to obtain status for my wife who was brought into this country by her parents when she was a child. She reviewed my wife's many options to get legalized and asked if I had ever been in the military. I told her that I had just been enlisted in the Army and she was able to ge...t my wife her papers very quickly for being the wife of a military member. We were always well informed as to what was going on with our case and whenever my wife got anxious, we could just call her office and her legal assistant would give us prompt information as to what was going on with our case. Erika travels a lot as she is a very successful attorney and has offices in other parts of the state, but she has a large office staff and an attorney that works with her so there was always someone to go to if we had questions about our case. I chose Erika to help us because my parents live in Western Kansas and she is the immigration expert at Univision Kansas and is always giving information on radio shows to people who want to get legalized. We recently moved to Missouri and we went to see many other attorneys before choosing her but some were good but very expensive, and some were cheap but simply not experienced enough. We felt that Erika and her staff really cared about our case. We will definitely recommend her to our friends and family although she is quite popular and may not even need our recommendations. By the way, even though she is very famous as an immigration lawyer, she is very down to earth and we never felt the way we felt before when visiting an attorney. She treats you like she's known you for a long time and that made us feel very comfortable. She is the best!

I really appreciate the time you are taking to write this review. It was a pleasure helping you and your family with your case. I am very happy that you obtained the results you were hoping for and to be honest, you deserve it! I am very proud to help military families and it is I who wish to thank you for your service to our country. You are correct in describing how busy of an attorney I am as I am usually invited as an expert in radio and tv. However, more than promotion for my office I see those invitations as an opportunity to educate immigrants about their options and warn them about people who prey on immigrant's needs to defraud them. You probably know by know that my facebook page has over 120,000 followers all over the country, people love to be informed! Like you mentioned, I do have a very capable and responsible staff that ensures that clients are well informed concerning their case. I always like to think that we help people begin their american dream in this country. God bless you and your beautiful family and may God keep you safe upon deployment. Sincerely...Erika Jurado-Graham.

A thousand thanks for your review! Immigration attorneys must always stay on top of the ever changing law to adequately represent our clients. I am passionate about what I do because I am an immigrant myself and that allows me to identify with my client's problems. Sincerely, Erika Jurado-Graham.
