Erik helped me with my naturalization process, and after that with my wife’s adjustment of status. We highly recommend Erik to anyone in need of an immigration attorney. Always answered our questions and was reliable and responsive throughout the whole time. He guided us through the paperwork and the application process was seamless and stress-free thanks to his guidance. He took a lot of the stress out of the process and made it easier explaining the steps clearly and breaking them down. Also, by being efficient and providing guidance along the way. He is honest, realistic and quick to respond

Eric Mark represented my husband with his immigration case. He took the case back in 2015 and we just had our last hearing this year 2021. My husbands case was very complex. Eric has expertise with criminal law and immigration which he used efficiently. He also answered any questions we had in a timely manner and was honest with pricing and reasonable with payments.We are happy with the outcome and appreciate all that he has done and will use him for any future issues.
As a side note he also represented another family member at my behest for a criminal matter and was knowledgeable and efficient

I met Eric Mark back in 2013, since then I’ve done all my immigration stuff with him. My family has always had his help in everything. Recently my mom missed her citizenship oath appointment ( not her fault ) we asked him if he could help us get her a new appointment, since we tried all the ways possible ( which aren’t much ) and within days she had her new appointment. After a month of trying our own way and not getting anywhere. He got us that appointment in a couple days. I honestly was amazed. Any questions he always responds super quick. As long as you have all documents needed to get

I called to inquire about my previous AOS interview that was highly unprofessional. I couldn't get a word in with this lawyer. He cut me off at every turn to slam a negative response, he thinks he's being honest but he's just dismissive. I couldn't even tell him about the immigration officer taking many personal calls from her family members mid interview (thats misconduct and thats according to USCIS's hotline for immigrant officer complaints) while we were answering her questions basically preventing her from hearing anything. Eric was not friendly and he wasn't

Meeting and working with Eric Mark’s office was life changing. My husband’s journey to receiving a green card was long and tumultuous. After a few denials and receiving poor representation from another lawyer, we researched the public domain and found Eric Mark. Eric, Christina, and Marisol, are an attentive, knowledgeable, and caring team of professionals. From the onset, Eric was transparent and clearly explained to us the possible outcomes in our case. He never gave us false hope, but his team worked diligently to ensure the outcome was in our favor. Thanks to the efforts and expertise of

I had a good experience with Eric!
I had issues with an old court case arise over 7 yrs later, & he was able to help them see the error was a clerical one of the court. Not an easy task, especially because the court was indignant it wasn't their error & was seeking punishment. Eric stay calm, cool, & collected, presented my evidence thoroughly, & the case was dismissed.
Whenever I have had legal issues of any kind, even for advice, he is responsive, helpful, & can offer his own , or other assistance. I would recommend him to anyone!

I came to Eric Mark's office with my son, when Christina (a different lawyer) said he wasn't in the office we tried to leave. She then called him on the phone to give me peace of mind that he would handle our case. That's what he stated when we spoke on the phone. Cristina game me some forms to fill and return. I did not return the intake forms right away because as I told Cristina I was waiting for documents. I called once and left a message for Cristina back in December, I'm still waiting for that call. I returned the the forms, to which Cristina said would review them. EIGHT DAYS LATER, I had

I Highly recommend Erick, he is one of the few attorneys that answers the phone or emails, if I have any question I can pick up the phone or send an email and he will answer my question. When I was looking from a Inmigration and criminal lawyer he was the only one who answers my concerns with the true, I really liked that. I'm glad I chose him as my lawyer his work is excellent!
