I got my citizenship with Mr. Eckdish’s help. Before hiring him, I talked to other 3 immigration attorneys with very good reviews. Eventually I gave up the one who is just 10-min drive from me (but I believe that lawyer should be also a good one) and chose Mr. Eckdish by 40-min driving. I think the quality of Mr. Eckdish’s service was worth the distance and extra communication effort. Mr. Eckdish impressed me in the first round of consultation by pointing out the important points in my case and his strategy. I signed the contract though his charge was not the cheapest (but definitely not the most expensive). He got my documents ready in about 2 months. During that time, he was very attentive and responsive. He patiently revised the documents for many times until all of my questions were relieved. He wrote long emails and spent hours in phone calls to explain to me every detail and address my concerns. He wrote every single word and filled out every blank in the forms by himself. During the interview, he spoke out at the right time with the right words and helped me a lot. Without him in the interview, I think I would get a lot of trouble. Undoubtedly, Mr. Eckdish is a very good immigration lawyer to be recommended, professional, caring, attentive, honest, patient … Another thing to mention, he even forgot to ask for my other half of payment until I realized it after I passed the interview. I don’t think it will be easy to find another such a good lawyer in the Bay Area. Definitely highly recommended.

I hired Mr Eckdish, and his partner Mr. Hall, to advise myself and my criminal lawyer on a very complicated case in a different state that could affect my immigration status. An unlucky misdemeanor in another state, could take away my visa and career. I hired Mr Eckdish in order to save my visa - he was always very helpful and very smart in his strategies and approaches. When everything seemed to be lost, Mr Eckdish always had a solution and was always very prepared. He communicated directly with me, multiple times in person and over the phone and he was always there to advise my criminal lawyer. I think Mr Eckdish' immigration and criminal law knowledge was key in saving my visa.

Mr. Eckdish was very professional throughout the whole naturalization process. I had not 1 but 3 convictions in the past along with a few hiccups with IRS which are easily got my application denied from becoming a U.S. citizen. He laid out the ground works and prepared me for the interview until I am ready for the civil test. Also, He provided support documents to all my convictions with detail explanations to prove I am a trustworthy person. He’s 2 to 3 times better than average immigration lawyers. So happy that I am finally a U.S. citizen. Thumb up to him!

I called Stephen asking about H1B work visa related issues. He was very patient and helped me understand the situation better. Towards the end he also referred me to a friend of his who specializes in work visa issues.

Mr. Eckdish is outstanding and clearly the best in the field of immigration law hands down. Stephen provided professional advices on my case. He is very knowledgeable and experienced in the field. From the first conversation, he correctly predicted what to anticipate in my case. His expertise gave me confidence to continue with his firm, immediately after I talked with him. Stephen believes that immigrants have played a pivotal role in making the United States one of the greatest nations on earth, so he will work to help those he believes will contribute to the greater good of this country. Stephen truly care and once your case has been settled, you’ll likely continue to hear from him. His genuine warmth and kindness make it near impossible not to become his friend. A little bit info about my case; I’ve had my green card for 18 years and have been trying to get my citizenship for a several years. After being stuck in the black hole of immigration backlog for many years, and trying to understand what’s the problem on my own and through other lawyers and had almost given up hope for any resolution soon, until we got in touch with Mr. Eckdish. He took over my case and had a clear plan on how to successfully complete the case. Throughout the course of our consultations, I came to know Mr. Eckdish as an extremely knowledgeable and experienced attorney. His approach was realistic coupled with optimism. He coached me through the entire process and went far beyond what an attorney would do to make sure my case was resolved successfully. I sometimes regret that I could’ve easily shaved off years of waiting in the backlog if we had approached them earlier. Can’t thank them enough. Highly recommended! From your first conversation with Stephen, you immediately become aware of his integrity and commitment, and moreover, the passion he exudes for his work. Any concern I raised was immediately addressed. Phone calls were answered in a timely manner, even when he was vacationing in Switzerland. During my citizenship interview, Mr. Eckdish was there before me and was attentive and very supportive during the interview. Bottom-line, I consider Stephen a one of a kind lawyer that I personally look up to and would be honored to continue to know him and use his services. HAPPY TO CONCLUDE THAT I GOT THROUGH MY CITIZENSHIP CEREMONY AND PROUD TO SAY THAT I’M A US CITIZEN :)

Stephen Eckdish is an expert immigration and criminal attorney, making him the perfect lawyer for my complex case. I immigrated to the U.S. with my parents thirty years ago when I was a young boy. I became a permanent resident at the beginning of the recent economic downturn, also known as the great recession. I lost a high paying job and had a very difficult time finding another job. I took it fairly hard and resorted to drugs which consequently got me in trouble with the law in two different counties. I have since gone back to school to start a new career in the medical field. I have turned my life around, but my past mistakes posed a major roadblock in becoming an American citizen. Mr. Eckdish worked tirelessly to have both of my drug related criminal cases vacated in order to pave way for my citizenship. I have since applied for my citizenship and now awaiting an interview. I have the utmost confidence that my dream of becoming an American citizen will become reality in the coming months, all with the help of Mr. Eckdish. I am extremely satisfied with the work that Stephen Eckdish has done for me so far and I highly recommend him for your complex immigration and criminal cases.

“My husband and I came to the Law Office of Stephen Eckdish (Immigration & Criminal defense Attorney) on a recommendation of a family member. We really appreciate Mr. Eckdish for the Excellent work he did. He demonstrated commitment, honesty, dedication and compassion for his clients. Throughout the process of working together, we felt that we had his full support and that he was willing to go above and beyond for us.  We were really worried the entire time because my husband who is not a U.S. CITIZEN had a very serious criminal conviction. However, Mr. Eckdish quickly remedied this problem by obtaining post-convection relief in the criminal court. He always reassured us with a positive outcome. Mr. Eckdish was always available at any time to talk to us and answered all our questions and concerns  he definitely helped us feel like our case mattered. Mr. Eckdish is very knowledgeable about immigration and criminal laws and because of that he knew the right defense strategy that would produce the best outcome for our case. He was able to file a motion to vacate my husband’s felony conviction in the criminal court in San Mateo County and the judge granted it. My husband is no longer convicted of this deportable crime and we are now able to apply to get his green card for which he is now eligible. I wish there were more stars you could give because  Mr. Eckdish really deserves it. He literally saved our family and my husband from deportation and being permanently separated. My children my husband and I are deeply grateful for his outstanding legal service and hold him in the highest regard. I highly recommend Mr. Eckdish for any criminal or Immigration problems you may have.” Posted by Sonia 11/2017

Any concern I raised was immediately addressed. Phone calls were answered in a timely manner, even when he was vacationing in Switzerland. During my citizenship interview, Mr. Eckdish was there before me and was attentive and very supportive during the interview. Bottom-line, I consider Stephen a one of a kind lawyer that I personally look up to and would be honored to continue to know him and use his services. HAPPY TO CONCLUDE THAT I GOT THROUGH MY CITIZENSHIP CEREMONY AND PROUD TO SAY THAT I’M A US CITIZEN :)

Stephen Eckdish is an expert immigration and criminal attorney, making him the perfect lawyer for my complex case. I immigrated to the U.S. with my parents thirty years ago when I was a young boy. I became a permanent resident at the beginning of the recent economic downturn, also known as the great recession. I lost a high paying job and had a very difficult time finding another job. I took it fairly hard and resorted to drugs which consequently got me in trouble with the law in two different counties. I have since gone back to school to start a new career in the medical field. I have turned my life around, but my past mistakes posed a major roadblock in becoming an American citizen. Mr. Eckdish worked tirelessly to have both of my drug related criminal cases vacated in order to pave way for my citizenship. I have since applied for my citizenship and now awaiting an interview. I have the utmost confidence that my dream of becoming an American citizen will become reality in the coming months, all with the help of Mr. Eckdish. I am extremely satisfied with the work that Stephen Eckdish has done for me so far and I highly recommend him for your complex immigration and criminal cases.

“My husband and I came to the Law Office of Stephen Eckdish (Immigration & Criminal defense Attorney) on a recommendation of a family member. We really appreciate Mr. Eckdish for the Excellent work he did. He demonstrated commitment, honesty, dedication and compassion for his clients. Throughout the process of working together, we felt that we had his full support and that he was willing to go above and beyond for us.  We were really worried the entire time because my husband who is not a U.S. CITIZEN had a very serious criminal conviction. However, Mr. Eckdish quickly remedied this problem by obtaining post-convection relief in the criminal court. He always reassured us with a positive outcome. Mr. Eckdish was always available at any time to talk to us and answered all our questions and concerns  he definitely helped us feel like our case mattered. Mr. Eckdish is very knowledgeable about immigration and criminal laws and because of that he knew the right defense strategy that would produce the best outcome for our case. He was able to file a motion to vacate my husband’s felony conviction in the criminal court in San Mateo County and the judge granted it. My husband is no longer convicted of this deportable crime and we are now able to apply to get his green card for which he is now eligible. I wish there were more stars you could give because  Mr. Eckdish really deserves it. He literally saved our family and my husband from deportation and being permanently separated. My children my husband and I are deeply grateful for his outstanding legal service and hold him in the highest regard. I highly recommend Mr. Eckdish for any criminal or Immigration problems you may have.” Posted by Sonia 11/2017

Mr. Eckdish has many years of experience and his expertise helped my husband’s dream come true of becoming an American citizen. Hiring Mr. Eckdish for his services was a true blessing. My husband had several convictions from many years ago that were able to be vacated and dismissed. Mr. Eckdish is truly the best immigration and criminal lawyer around. The expert advice and overall expertise of Mr. Eckdish is the reason this was able to happen. My husband’s case was not an easy one; it was complex. All our family and friends are forever grateful to him for all of his hard work, determination, guidance, compassion and most of all his patience with my husband and me throughout the years. Mr. Eckdish worked on my husband’s case for 4+ years with great professionalism. When we had additional questions he was always available 24/7 to answer them. When we were in a panic he was always there to reassure us. Mr. Eckdish was not only our lawyer but he became a good friend to us. My family and I are now living happy stress free lives thanks to Mr. Eckdish. My husband and I highly and truly recommend Mr. Stephen Eckdish to anyone who has immigration and criminal issues to deal with.

I had a very complicated case with an Order of Removal against me. Stephen Eckdish helped me all the way and was able to get ICE to rescind their order and open up communication with USCIS to reconsider my Green Card appication and to approve me! So a HUGE thank you to Stephen Eckdish for all this hard work, for his perseverance, his thinking outside the box and not taking NO for an aswer! I am now a very reliefed and happy legal Permanent Resident in the U.S. all thanks to him. He is easy to work and his rates are very reasonable....Probably would not have been possible to achieve this major victory with somebody else! (I had a different lawyer before...). Thank you again Stephen Eckdish for all your hard work and for being there for me. Armin

Mr. Stephen Eckdish is a great professional and knowledgeable lawyer in both criminal and immigration law. He done extremely good work for me. He has unbelievable experience and knowledge on complex cases. He is really care about his clients and always follow up the procedure also provide very professional advices. I highly recommend Mr. Eckdish to people who have criminal and immigration case. Thank you again Mr. Eckdish.

I got my citizenship with Mr. Eckdish’s help. Before hiring him, I talked to other 3 immigration attorneys with very good reviews. Eventually I gave up the one who is just 10-min drive from me (but I believe that lawyer should be also a good one) and chose Mr. Eckdish by 40-min driving. I think the quality of Mr. Eckdish’s service was worth the distance and extra communication effort. Mr. Eckdish impressed me in the first round of consultation by pointing out the important points in my case and his strategy. I signed the contract though his charge was not the cheapest (but definitely not the most expensive). He got my documents ready in about 2 months. During that time, he was very attentive and responsive. He patiently revised the documents for many times until all of my questions were relieved. He wrote long emails and spent hours in phone calls to explain to me every detail and address my concerns. He wrote every single word and filled out every blank in the forms by himself. During the interview, he spoke out at the right time with the right words and helped me a lot. Without him in the interview, I think I would get a lot of trouble. Undoubtedly, Mr. Eckdish is a very good immigration lawyer to be recommended, professional, caring, attentive, honest, patient … Another thing to mention, he even forgot to ask for my other half of payment until I realized it after I passed the interview. I don’t think it will be easy to find another such a good lawyer in the Bay Area. Definitely highly recommended.

I hired Mr Eckdish, and his partner Mr. Hall, to advise myself and my criminal lawyer on a very complicated case in a different state that could affect my immigration status. An unlucky misdemeanor in another state, could take away my visa and career. I hired Mr Eckdish in order to save my visa - he was always very helpful and very smart in his strategies and approaches. When everything seemed to be lost, Mr Eckdish always had a solution and was always very prepared. He communicated directly with me, multiple times in person and over the phone and he was always there to advise my criminal lawyer. I think Mr Eckdish' immigration and criminal law knowledge was key in saving my visa.

Mr. Eckdish was very professional throughout the whole naturalization process. I had not 1 but 3 convictions in the past along with a few hiccups with IRS which are easily got my application denied from becoming a U.S. citizen. He laid out the ground works and prepared me for the interview until I am ready for the civil test. Also, He provided support documents to all my convictions with detail explanations to prove I am a trustworthy person. He’s 2 to 3 times better than average immigration lawyers. So happy that I am finally a U.S. citizen. Thumb up to him!

I called Stephen asking about H1B work visa related issues. He was very patient and helped me understand the situation better. Towards the end he also referred me to a friend of his who specializes in work visa issues.

Mr. Eckdish is outstanding and clearly the best in the field of immigration law hands down. Stephen provided professional advices on my case. He is very knowledgeable and experienced in the field. From the first conversation, he correctly predicted what to anticipate in my case. His expertise gave me confidence to continue with his firm, immediately after I talked with him. Stephen believes that immigrants have played a pivotal role in making the United States one of the greatest nations on earth, so he will work to help those he believes will contribute to the greater good of this country. Stephen truly care and once your case has been settled, you’ll likely continue to hear from him. His genuine warmth and kindness make it near impossible not to become his friend. A little bit info about my case; I’ve had my green card for 18 years and have been trying to get my citizenship for a several years. After being stuck in the black hole of immigration backlog for many years, and trying to understand what’s the problem on my own and through other lawyers and had almost given up hope for any resolution soon, until we got in touch with Mr. Eckdish. He took over my case and had a clear plan on how to successfully complete the case. Throughout the course of our consultations, I came to know Mr. Eckdish as an extremely knowledgeable and experienced attorney. His approach was realistic coupled with optimism. He coached me through the entire process and went far beyond what an attorney would do to make sure my case was resolved successfully. I sometimes regret that I could’ve easily shaved off years of waiting in the backlog if we had approached them earlier. Can’t thank them enough. Highly recommended! From your first conversation with Stephen, you immediately become aware of his integrity and commitment, and moreover, the passion he exudes for his work.

My husband and I highly and truly recommend Mr. Stephen Eckdish to anyone who has immigration and criminal issues to deal with.

I had a very complicated case with an Order of Removal against me. Stephen Eckdish helped me all the way and was able to get ICE to rescind their order and open up communication with USCIS to reconsider my Green Card appication and to approve me! So a HUGE thank you to Stephen Eckdish for all this hard work, for his perseverance, his thinking outside the box and not taking NO for an aswer! I am now a very reliefed and happy legal Permanent Resident in the U.S. all thanks to him. He is easy to work and his rates are very reasonable....Probably would not have been possible to achieve this major victory with somebody else! (I had a different lawyer before...). Thank you again Stephen Eckdish for all your hard work and for being there for me. Armin

Mr. Stephen Eckdish is a great professional and knowledgeable lawyer in both criminal and immigration law. He done extremely good work for me. He has unbelievable experience and knowledge on complex cases. He is really care about his clients and always follow up the procedure also provide very professional advices. I highly recommend Mr. Eckdish to people who have criminal and immigration case. Thank you again Mr. Eckdish.

I got my citizenship with Mr. Eckdish’s help. Before hiring him, I talked to other 3 immigration attorneys with very good reviews. Eventually I gave up the one who is just 10-min drive from me (but I believe that lawyer should be also a good one) and chose Mr. Eckdish by 40-min driving. I think the quality of Mr. Eckdish’s service was worth the distance and extra communication effort. Mr. Eckdish impressed me in the first round of consultation by pointing out the important points in my case and his strategy. I signed the contract though his charge was not the cheapest (but definitely not the most expensive). He got my documents ready in about 2 months. During that time, he was very attentive and responsive. He patiently revised the documents for many times until all of my questions were relieved. He wrote long emails and spent hours in phone calls to explain to me every detail and address my concerns. He wrote every single word and filled out every blank in the forms by himself. During the interview, he spoke out at the right time with the right words and helped me a lot. Without him in the interview, I think I would get a lot of trouble. Undoubtedly, Mr. Eckdish is a very good immigration lawyer to be recommended, professional, caring, attentive, honest, patient … Another thing to mention, he even forgot to ask for my other half of payment until I realized it after I passed the interview. I don’t think it will be easy to find another such a good lawyer in the Bay Area. Definitely highly recommended.

I hired Mr Eckdish, and his partner Mr. Hall, to advise myself and my criminal lawyer on a very complicated case in a different state that could affect my immigration status. An unlucky misdemeanor in another state, could take away my visa and career. I hired Mr Eckdish in order to save my visa - he was always very helpful and very smart in his strategies and approaches. When everything seemed to be lost, Mr Eckdish always had a solution and was always very prepared. He communicated directly with me, multiple times in person and over the phone and he was always there to advise my criminal lawyer. I think Mr Eckdish' immigration and criminal law knowledge was key in saving my visa.

Mr. Eckdish was very professional throughout the whole naturalization process. I had not 1 but 3 convictions in the past along with a few hiccups with IRS which are easily got my application denied from becoming a U.S. citizen. He laid out the ground works and prepared me for the interview until I am ready for the civil test. Also, He provided support documents to all my convictions with detail explanations to prove I am a trustworthy person. He’s 2 to 3 times better than average immigration lawyers. So happy that I am finally a U.S. citizen. Thumb up to him!

I called Stephen asking about H1B work visa related issues. He was very patient and helped me understand the situation better. Towards the end he also referred me to a friend of his who specializes in work visa issues.

Mr. Eckdish is outstanding and clearly the best in the field of immigration law hands down. Stephen provided professional advices on my case. He is very knowledgeable and experienced in the field. From the first conversation, he correctly predicted what to anticipate in my case. His expertise gave me confidence to continue with his firm, immediately after I talked with him. Stephen believes that immigrants have played a pivotal role in making the United States one of the greatest nations on earth, so he will work to help those he believes will contribute to the greater good of this country. Stephen truly care and once your case has been settled, you’ll likely continue to hear from him. His genuine warmth and kindness make it near impossible not to become his friend. A little bit info about my case; I’ve had my green card for 18 years and have been trying to get my citizenship for a several years. After being stuck in the black hole of immigration backlog for many years, and trying to understand what’s the problem on my own and through other lawyers and had almost given up hope for any resolution soon, until we got in touch with Mr. Eckdish. He took over my case and had a clear plan on how to successfully complete the case. Throughout the course of our consultations, I came to know Mr. Eckdish as an extremely knowledgeable and experienced attorney. His approach was realistic coupled with optimism. He coached me through the entire process and went far beyond what an attorney would do to make sure my case was resolved successfully. I sometimes regret that I could’ve easily shaved off years of waiting in the backlog if we had approached them earlier. Can’t thank them enough. Highly recommended! From your first conversation with Stephen, you immediately become aware of his integrity and commitment, and moreover, the passion he exudes for his work. Any concern I raised was immediately addressed. Phone calls were answered in a timely manner, even when he was vacationing in Switzerland. During my citizenship interview, Mr. Eckdish was there before me and was attentive and very supportive during the interview. Bottom-line, I consider Stephen a one of a kind lawyer that I personally look up to and would be honored to continue to know him and use his services. HAPPY TO CONCLUDE THAT I GOT THROUGH MY CITIZENSHIP CEREMONY AND PROUD TO SAY THAT I’M A US CITIZEN :)

Stephen Eckdish is an expert immigration and criminal attorney, making him the perfect lawyer for my complex case. I immigrated to the U.S. with my parents thirty years ago when I was a young boy. I became a permanent resident at the beginning of the recent economic downturn, also known as the great recession. I lost a high paying job and had a very difficult time finding another job. I took it fairly hard and resorted to drugs which consequently got me in trouble with the law in two different counties. I have since gone back to school to start a new career in the medical field. I have turned my life around, but my past mistakes posed a major roadblock in becoming an American citizen. Mr. Eckdish worked tirelessly to have both of my drug related criminal cases vacated in order to pave way for my citizenship. I have since applied for my citizenship and now awaiting an interview. I have the utmost confidence that my dream of becoming an American citizen will become reality in the coming months, all with the help of Mr. Eckdish. I am extremely satisfied with the work that Stephen Eckdish has done for me so far and I highly recommend him for your complex immigration and criminal cases.

“My husband and I came to the Law Office of Stephen Eckdish (Immigration & Criminal defense Attorney) on a recommendation of a family member. We really appreciate Mr. Eckdish for the Excellent work he did. He demonstrated commitment, honesty, dedication and compassion for his clients. Throughout the process of working together, we felt that we had his full support and that he was willing to go above and beyond for us.  We were really worried the entire time because my husband who is not a U.S. CITIZEN had a very serious criminal conviction. However, Mr. Eckdish quickly remedied this problem by obtaining post-convection relief in the criminal court. He always reassured us with a positive outcome. Mr. Eckdish was always available at any time to talk to us and answered all our questions and concerns  he definitely helped us feel like our case mattered. Mr. Eckdish is very knowledgeable about immigration and criminal laws and because of that he knew the right defense strategy that would produce the best outcome for our case. He was able to file a motion to vacate my husband’s felony conviction in the criminal court in San Mateo County and the judge granted it. My husband is no longer convicted of this deportable crime and we are now able to apply to get his green card for which he is now eligible. I wish there were more stars you could give because  Mr. Eckdish really deserves it. He literally saved our family and my husband from deportation and being permanently separated. My children my husband and I are deeply grateful for his outstanding legal service and hold him in the highest regard. I highly recommend Mr. Eckdish for any criminal or Immigration problems you may have.” Posted by Sonia 11/2017

From the first conversation, he correctly predicted what to anticipate in my case. His expertise gave me confidence to continue with his firm, immediately after I talked with him. Stephen believes that immigrants have played a pivotal role in making the United States one of the greatest nations on earth, so he will work to help those he believes will contribute to the greater good of this country. Stephen truly care and once your case has been settled, you’ll likely continue to hear from him. His genuine warmth and kindness make it near impossible not to become his friend. A little bit info about my case; I’ve had my green card for 18 years and have been trying to get my citizenship for a several years. After being stuck in the black hole of immigration backlog for many years, and trying to understand what’s the problem on my own and through other lawyers and had almost given up hope for any resolution soon, until we got in touch with Mr. Eckdish. He took over my case and had a clear plan on how to successfully complete the case. Throughout the course of our consultations, I came to know Mr. Eckdish as an extremely knowledgeable and experienced attorney. His approach was realistic coupled with optimism. He coached me through the entire process and went far beyond what an attorney would do to make sure my case was resolved successfully. I sometimes regret that I could’ve easily shaved off years of waiting in the backlog if we had approached them earlier. Can’t thank them enough. Highly recommended! From your first conversation with Stephen, you immediately become aware of his integrity and commitment, and moreover, the passion he exudes for his work. Any concern I raised was immediately addressed. Phone calls were answered in a timely manner, even when he was vacationing in Switzerland. During my citizenship interview, Mr. Eckdish was there before me and was attentive and very supportive during the interview. Bottom-line, I consider Stephen a one of a kind lawyer that I personally look up to and would be honored to continue to know him and use his services. HAPPY TO CONCLUDE THAT I GOT THROUGH MY CITIZENSHIP CEREMONY AND PROUD TO SAY THAT I’M A US CITIZEN :)

Stephen Eckdish is an expert immigration and criminal attorney, making him the perfect lawyer for my complex case. I immigrated to the U.S. with my parents thirty years ago when I was a young boy. I became a permanent resident at the beginning of the recent economic downturn, also known as the great recession. I lost a high paying job and had a very difficult time finding another job. I took it fairly hard and resorted to drugs which consequently got me in trouble with the law in two different counties. I have since gone back to school to start a new career in the medical field. I have turned my life around, but my past mistakes posed a major roadblock in becoming an American citizen. Mr. Eckdish worked tirelessly to have both of my drug related criminal cases vacated in order to pave way for my citizenship. I have since applied for my citizenship and now awaiting an interview. I have the utmost confidence that my dream of becoming an American citizen will become reality in the coming months, all with the help of Mr. Eckdish. I am extremely satisfied with the work that Stephen Eckdish has done for me so far and I highly recommend him for your complex immigration and criminal cases.

“My husband and I came to the Law Office of Stephen Eckdish (Immigration & Criminal defense Attorney) on a recommendation of a family member. We really appreciate Mr. Eckdish for the Excellent work he did. He demonstrated commitment, honesty, dedication and compassion for his clients. Throughout the process of working together, we felt that we had his full support and that he was willing to go above and beyond for us.  We were really worried the entire time because my husband who is not a U.S. CITIZEN had a very serious criminal conviction. However, Mr. Eckdish quickly remedied this problem by obtaining post-convection relief in the criminal court. He always reassured us with a positive outcome. Mr. Eckdish was always available at any time to talk to us and answered all our questions and concerns  he definitely helped us feel like our case mattered. Mr. Eckdish is very knowledgeable about immigration and criminal laws and because of that he knew the right defense strategy that would produce the best outcome for our case. He was able to file a motion to vacate my husband’s felony conviction in the criminal court in San Mateo County and the judge granted it. My husband is no longer convicted of this deportable crime and we are now able to apply to get his green card for which he is now eligible. I wish there were more stars you could give because  Mr. Eckdish really deserves it. He literally saved our family and my husband from deportation and being permanently separated. My children my husband and I are deeply grateful for his outstanding legal service and hold him in the highest regard. I highly recommend Mr. Eckdish for any criminal or Immigration problems you may have.” Posted by Sonia 11/2017

Mr. Eckdish has many years of experience and his expertise helped my husband’s dream come true of becoming an American citizen. Hiring Mr. Eckdish for his services was a true blessing. My husband had several convictions from many years ago that were able to be vacated and dismissed. Mr. Eckdish is truly the best immigration and criminal lawyer around. The expert advice and overall expertise of Mr. Eckdish is the reason this was able to happen. My husband’s case was not an easy one; it was complex. All our family and friends are forever grateful to him for all of his hard work, determination, guidance, compassion and most of all his patience with my husband and me throughout the years. Mr. Eckdish worked on my husband’s case for 4+ years with great professionalism. When we had additional questions he was always available 24/7 to answer them. When we were in a panic he was always there to reassure us. Mr. Eckdish was not only our lawyer but he became a good friend to us. My family and I are now living happy stress free lives thanks to Mr. Eckdish. My husband and I highly and truly recommend Mr. Stephen Eckdish to anyone who has immigration and criminal issues to deal with.

I had a very complicated case with an Order of Removal against me. Stephen Eckdish helped me all the way and was able to get ICE to rescind their order and open up communication with USCIS to reconsider my Green Card appication and to approve me! So a HUGE thank you to Stephen Eckdish for all this hard work, for his perseverance, his thinking outside the box and not taking NO for an aswer! I am now a very reliefed and happy legal Permanent Resident in the U.S. all thanks to him. He is easy to work and his rates are very reasonable....Probably would not have been possible to achieve this major victory with somebody else! (I had a different lawyer before...). Thank you again Stephen Eckdish for all your hard work and for being there for me. Armin

Mr. Stephen Eckdish is a great professional and knowledgeable lawyer in both criminal and immigration law. He done extremely good work for me. He has unbelievable experience and knowledge on complex cases. He is really care about his clients and always follow up the procedure also provide very professional advices. I highly recommend Mr. Eckdish to people who have criminal and immigration case. Thank you again Mr. Eckdish.

I got my citizenship with Mr. Eckdish’s help. Before hiring him, I talked to other 3 immigration attorneys with very good reviews. Eventually I gave up the one who is just 10-min drive from me (but I believe that lawyer should be also a good one) and chose Mr. Eckdish by 40-min driving. I think the quality of Mr. Eckdish’s service was worth the distance and extra communication effort. Mr. Eckdish impressed me in the first round of consultation by pointing out the important points in my case and his strategy. I signed the contract though his charge was not the cheapest (but definitely not the most expensive). He got my documents ready in about 2 months. During that time, he was very attentive and responsive. He patiently revised the documents for many times until all of my questions were relieved. He wrote long emails and spent hours in phone calls to explain to me every detail and address my concerns. He wrote every single word and filled out every blank in the forms by himself. During the interview, he spoke out at the right time with the right words and helped me a lot. Without him in the interview, I think I would get a lot of trouble. Undoubtedly, Mr. Eckdish is a very good immigration lawyer to be recommended, professional, caring, attentive, honest, patient … Another thing to mention, he even forgot to ask for my other half of payment until I realized it after I passed the interview. I don’t think it will be easy to find another such a good lawyer in the Bay Area. Definitely highly recommended.

I hired Mr Eckdish, and his partner Mr. Hall, to advise myself and my criminal lawyer on a very complicated case in a different state that could affect my immigration status. An unlucky misdemeanor in another state, could take away my visa and career. I hired Mr Eckdish in order to save my visa - he was always very helpful and very smart in his strategies and approaches. When everything seemed to be lost, Mr Eckdish always had a solution and was always very prepared. He communicated directly with me, multiple times in person and over the phone and he was always there to advise my criminal lawyer. I think Mr Eckdish' immigration and criminal law knowledge was key in saving my visa.

Mr. Eckdish was very professional throughout the whole naturalization process. I had not 1 but 3 convictions in the past along with a few hiccups with IRS which are easily got my application denied from becoming a U.S. citizen. He laid out the ground works and prepared me for the interview until I am ready for the civil test. Also, He provided support documents to all my convictions with detail explanations to prove I am a trustworthy person. He’s 2 to 3 times better than average immigration lawyers. So happy that I am finally a U.S. citizen. Thumb up to him!

He always reassured us with a positive outcome. Mr. Eckdish was always available at any time to talk to us and answered all our questions and concerns  he definitely helped us feel like our case mattered. Mr. Eckdish is very knowledgeable about immigration and criminal laws and because of that he knew the right defense strategy that would produce the best outcome for our case. He was able to file a motion to vacate my husband’s felony conviction in the criminal court in San Mateo County and the judge granted it. My husband is no longer convicted of this deportable crime and we are now able to apply to get his green card for which he is now eligible. I wish there were more stars you could give because  Mr. Eckdish really deserves it. He literally saved our family and my husband from deportation and being permanently separated. My children my husband and I are deeply grateful for his outstanding legal service and hold him in the highest regard. I highly recommend Mr. Eckdish for any criminal or Immigration problems you may have.” Posted by Sonia 11/2017

Mr. Eckdish has many years of experience and his expertise helped my husband’s dream come true of becoming an American citizen. Hiring Mr. Eckdish for his services was a true blessing. My husband had several convictions from many years ago that were able to be vacated and dismissed. Mr. Eckdish is truly the best immigration and criminal lawyer around. The expert advice and overall expertise of Mr. Eckdish is the reason this was able to happen. My husband’s case was not an easy one; it was complex. All our family and friends are forever grateful to him for all of his hard work, determination, guidance, compassion and most of all his patience with my husband and me throughout the years. Mr. Eckdish worked on my husband’s case for 4+ years with great professionalism. When we had additional questions he was always available 24/7 to answer them. When we were in a panic he was always there to reassure us. Mr. Eckdish was not only our lawyer but he became a good friend to us. My family and I are now living happy stress free lives thanks to Mr. Eckdish. My husband and I highly and truly recommend Mr. Stephen Eckdish to anyone who has immigration and criminal issues to deal with.

I had a very complicated case with an Order of Removal against me. Stephen Eckdish helped me all the way and was able to get ICE to rescind their order and open up communication with USCIS to reconsider my Green Card appication and to approve me! So a HUGE thank you to Stephen Eckdish for all this hard work, for his perseverance, his thinking outside the box and not taking NO for an aswer! I am now a very reliefed and happy legal Permanent Resident in the U.S. all thanks to him. He is easy to work and his rates are very reasonable....Probably would not have been possible to achieve this major victory with somebody else! (I had a different lawyer before...). Thank you again Stephen Eckdish for all your hard work and for being there for me. Armin

Mr. Stephen Eckdish is a great professional and knowledgeable lawyer in both criminal and immigration law. He done extremely good work for me. He has unbelievable experience and knowledge on complex cases. He is really care about his clients and always follow up the procedure also provide very professional advices. I highly recommend Mr. Eckdish to people who have criminal and immigration case. Thank you again Mr. Eckdish.

I got my citizenship with Mr. Eckdish’s help. Before hiring him, I talked to other 3 immigration attorneys with very good reviews. Eventually I gave up the one who is just 10-min drive from me (but I believe that lawyer should be also a good one) and chose Mr. Eckdish by 40-min driving. I think the quality of Mr. Eckdish’s service was worth the distance and extra communication effort. Mr. Eckdish impressed me in the first round of consultation by pointing out the important points in my case and his strategy. I signed the contract though his charge was not the cheapest (but definitely not the most expensive). He got my documents ready in about 2 months. During that time, he was very attentive and responsive. He patiently revised the documents for many times until all of my questions were relieved. He wrote long emails and spent hours in phone calls to explain to me every detail and address my concerns. He wrote every single word and filled out every blank in the forms by himself. During the interview, he spoke out at the right time with the right words and helped me a lot. Without him in the interview, I think I would get a lot of trouble. Undoubtedly, Mr. Eckdish is a very good immigration lawyer to be recommended, professional, caring, attentive, honest, patient … Another thing to mention, he even forgot to ask for my other half of payment until I realized it after I passed the interview. I don’t think it will be easy to find another such a good lawyer in the Bay Area. Definitely highly recommended.

I hired Mr Eckdish, and his partner Mr. Hall, to advise myself and my criminal lawyer on a very complicated case in a different state that could affect my immigration status. An unlucky misdemeanor in another state, could take away my visa and career. I hired Mr Eckdish in order to save my visa - he was always very helpful and very smart in his strategies and approaches. When everything seemed to be lost, Mr Eckdish always had a solution and was always very prepared. He communicated directly with me, multiple times in person and over the phone and he was always there to advise my criminal lawyer. I think Mr Eckdish' immigration and criminal law knowledge was key in saving my visa.

Mr. Eckdish was very professional throughout the whole naturalization process. I had not 1 but 3 convictions in the past along with a few hiccups with IRS which are easily got my application denied from becoming a U.S. citizen. He laid out the ground works and prepared me for the interview until I am ready for the civil test. Also, He provided support documents to all my convictions with detail explanations to prove I am a trustworthy person. He’s 2 to 3 times better than average immigration lawyers. So happy that I am finally a U.S. citizen. Thumb up to him!

I called Stephen asking about H1B work visa related issues. He was very patient and helped me understand the situation better. Towards the end he also referred me to a friend of his who specializes in work visa issues.

Mr. Eckdish is outstanding and clearly the best in the field of immigration law hands down. Stephen provided professional advices on my case. He is very knowledgeable and experienced in the field. From the first conversation, he correctly predicted what to anticipate in my case. His expertise gave me confidence to continue with his firm, immediately after I talked with him. Stephen believes that immigrants have played a pivotal role in making the United States one of the greatest nations on earth, so he will work to help those he believes will contribute to the greater good of this country. Stephen truly care and once your case has been settled, you’ll likely continue to hear from him. His genuine warmth and kindness make it near impossible not to become his friend. A little bit info about my case; I’ve had my green card for 18 years and have been trying to get my citizenship for a several years. After being stuck in the black hole of immigration backlog for many years, and trying to understand what’s the problem on my own and through other lawyers and had almost given up hope for any resolution soon, until we got in touch with Mr. Eckdish. He took over my case and had a clear plan on how to successfully complete the case. Throughout the course of our consultations, I came to know Mr. Eckdish as an extremely knowledgeable and experienced attorney. His approach was realistic coupled with optimism. He coached me through the entire process and went far beyond what an attorney would do to make sure my case was resolved successfully. I sometimes regret that I could’ve easily shaved off years of waiting in the backlog if we had approached them earlier. Can’t thank them enough. Highly recommended! From your first conversation with Stephen, you immediately become aware of his integrity and commitment, and moreover, the passion he exudes for his work. Any concern I raised was immediately addressed. Phone calls were answered in a timely manner, even when he was vacationing in Switzerland. During my citizenship interview, Mr. Eckdish was there before me and was attentive and very supportive during the interview. Bottom-line, I consider Stephen a one of a kind lawyer that I personally look up to and would be honored to continue to know him and use his services. HAPPY TO CONCLUDE THAT I GOT THROUGH MY CITIZENSHIP CEREMONY AND PROUD TO SAY THAT I’M A US CITIZEN :)

Stephen Eckdish is an expert immigration and criminal attorney, making him the perfect lawyer for my complex case. I immigrated to the U.S. with my parents thirty years ago when I was a young boy. I became a permanent resident at the beginning of the recent economic downturn, also known as the great recession. I lost a high paying job and had a very difficult time finding another job. I took it fairly hard and resorted to drugs which consequently got me in trouble with the law in two different counties. I have since gone back to school to start a new career in the medical field. I have turned my life around, but my past mistakes posed a major roadblock in becoming an American citizen. Mr. Eckdish worked tirelessly to have both of my drug related criminal cases vacated in order to pave way for my citizenship. I have since applied for my citizenship and now awaiting an interview. I have the utmost confidence that my dream of becoming an American citizen will become reality in the coming months, all with the help of Mr. Eckdish. I am extremely satisfied with the work that Stephen Eckdish has done for me so far and I highly recommend him for your complex immigration and criminal cases.
