Competence, integrity and honesty!

Mr. Eichorn and his staff have proven to be extremely professional and competent. We retained his firm to handle my mom's naturalization case, which was wrought with very unusual complications. Mr. Eichorn covered all eventualities and worst case scenarios, and tackled every issue with diligence ...and success. The firm walked us though all the steps with patience, integrity and even provided moral support. When my mom went to the interview, it became evident that he was very well known, respected and liked at the USCIS office. Mr. Eichorn's, indisputable competence, sense of humor and his staff's patience and professionalism makes the process of dealing with the US Immigration authorities a lot less stressful! We feel that his fees were very reasonable considering the amount of work his firm poured into my mom's case, which resulted in her obtaining US Citizenship. We recommend Mr. Eichorn and his firm 100%!

A++++++ Experience and Service

Phil Eichorn assisted our family through the immigration process of adopting my step-daughter and the naturalization of my wife. Phil's knowledge of the process and his relationships with the immigration personnel helped everything go smoothly without any unexpected delays. Phil also helped my wife p...repare for her citizenship interview and without his help, she would have encountered some possible preparation issues on the questions that would be asked. Phil personally accompanied both my wife and my daughter during their interviews and his presence was a big plus in the eyes of the immigration interviewer. We would highly recommend Phil to anyone requiring immigration expertise.

Highly Recommended

My wife and I worked with Phil for the past three years regarding removal proceedings, an I-130 petition and AOS. He willingly travelled to NY three times, two of those for interviews and once for preparation. Correspondance with the firm was easily accessible and response rate was consistently promp...t. Phil was ability to handle our complex situation professionally. He ensured that we understood his ideas and were comfortable with his recommendations on how to proceed. His staff gave us great service and always kept us informed on any updates to our case. Overall highly satisfied and looking forward to Naturalization.

Very efficient and trustworthy person.

I hired Mr. Philip Eichorn to help me file my immigration papers. I am an Indian citizen, who entered US on F1 visa and I met my wonderful wife (American Citizen) and got married while I was still in college .We dint file my immigration papers after our marriage as I was busy with my college schedu...le. After I finished college I got my OPT EAD card and was working and in July 2011 my college was under USCIS investigation and my status was in jeopardy. I contacted many attorneys before Philip, but dint get good suggestions. When I contacted Philip he evaluated my situation and gave a very prompt feedback about how to go ahead and save my status. After meeting Philip , me and my wife had complete confidence in him and his team and we were sure he knew what he was doing. He has immense knowledge and is a trustworthy person . I filed my papers in Aug 2011 and got my got my GC approved in the first week of Dec 2011. Throughout the process Philip and his team worked closely with us and were very supportive and prompt with their work. His prep sessions were very helpful and he gave us the real feel of the USCIS interview . He and his team treated us very politely and dint not make us feel as if we were just a case #. Camille is one of his team member, who is a wonderful lady who always greeted us with a smile and was very good to me and my wife. All in all Mr. Philip Eichorn is an efficient and straight forward person and has an amazing team. I would definitely recommend him for others who are in search of an efficient attorney. Reading some reviews before have helped me personally and I hope my review would also be helpful to others . Thanks Happy Holidays .

"I endorse this lawyer. This lawyers contributions to this site are invaluable. I happily endorse this lawyers work, ability and charity to those asking for advice. Further, I like to endorse good lawyers, because I find the AVVO rating system to be dishonest and corrupt. Frequently, disgruntled litigants on the opposing side (not your clients) will bash a lawyer on this site, pretending to be "your" client. When this situation is brought to AVVO attention, Avvo refuses to do anything to investigate and remove the false, slanderous "client" reviews. AVVO is a mean petty internet blog site trying to make money off of lawyers, and does not care if the public receives truthful information."
