 4/12/14   5     5     5     5     5   I hold Attorney Stephen Eckdish in my highest regard. I not only admire his legal acumen but also his compassionate, kind and generous nature. It was his humane spirit that made me open up to him regarding the domestic violence I had suffered by my former husband. Mr. Eckdish helped me obtain my U. S. permanent residence through a VAWA petition. It was a complex case considering the lack of physical evidence available when we filed. Stephen guided me to corroborate and present the evidence from my treating physicians of my post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. He was always there supporting me and giving me hope to keep fighting. Seeing him so determined to win my case, made me stronger and more confident in my ability to fight for my rights. Stephen was a true partner for me in my case. He was a genuine, emphatic and a highly skilled advocate for me. I wholeheartedly recommend all immigrants in need to retain Mr. Eckdish. He is the best immigration lawyer that you will find! RID: 135284

 7/23/13   4     5     5     5     5   I am here to write review about Stephen. He is very knowledge about both criminal and immigration laws. During my case proceed he worked diligently to prepare all the documents needed, did go to library even to do some research on one aspect and prepared a document that is very strong and present a clear picture in front of the Judge and the DA. His professionalism and care to individual case helped the DA to dismiss the case and receive factual of innocence. I appreciate all the hard work Stephen put in this case. I would highly recommend Stephen, specially if it involve criminal and immigration matter. One thing I can say is that he is very straight forward and will fight to get the best result by studying and understanding the scenario you are in. I pray for Stephen well being and live long to help people. RID: 119127
     4/8/13   5     5     5     5     5   Stephen Eckdish, Immigration & Criminal Defense Attorney, helped me to reduce a felony charge to a misdemeanor and through out the whole process he showed a lot of experience, knowledge and he was very professional. He talked to me with the truth since our first meeting, everything he told me he was going to do he did it. Even thought, I had a violation of probation he found the way to prove that I had more positive attributes and by this manner he won my case. He also helped me to terminate a prior restraining order, even thought there was very few probabilities to win the case, and the judge criteria was to deny it, Attorney Eckdish was able to pull out the motion from a denial and won the case, it was very amazing, a great effective attorney, I’m so thankful. Mr. Stephen Eckdish is honest and kind person, he is very humane, and shows and high degree of care for the outcome of my problem, also he is very reasonable in price, He will fight for you like he did for me. Now I have a RID: 106571

Click to report rating    7/12/12   5     5     5     5     5   Mr Eckdish made what seemed to be impossible POSSIBLE for me. It was a complete miracle! I was facing deportation.After speaking with several attorneys I did not think that there was chance of winning a case for removal proceedings. Mr. Eckdish took the time to strategize accordingly every detail of the case and work it in a manner that required a great deal of attention and knowledge. There were a total of 3 cases in which there was an arrest and 2 of which were felonies, one a misdemeanor. To overcome this deportation was a miracle that was a true long shot.Without this attorney we would have lost without a doubt. His personal touch and ability to feel our pain and despair showed during the appearances.He made what 3 other attorneys indicated as impossible POSSIBLE.When we won the case, I knew that we just made history! He is by far the best attorney I have ever worked with and is not just an attorney for us a part of our family. Mohammed RID: 74307
     4/23/12   5     5     5     5     5   My husband found himself in the very dire position of facing deportation after twenty years as a Permanent Resident, due to several criminal convictions. Knowing that my husband did not look good on paper, and that only a handful of minutes before an Immigration Judge would determine his fate, we believed that our future depended solely on the ability of the attorney we hired. After interviewing several attorneys, both from large law firms and smaller independents, we chose Mr. Eckdish for his many years of both Criminal and Immigration Court experience, his personal handling of his cases, and for his tenacious demeanor which came across from our initial conversation. Thankfully, time has proven that we made the right decision, as Mr. Eckdish won our case due to his legal expertise, his dedication, and ultimately by presenting the judge with a comprehensive picture of my husband at our day in court. Through carefully prepared testimony, an assemblance of credible witnesses, and a RID: 68367
     8/12/11   5     5     5     5     5   Mr. Eckdish is truly a kind and very generous person,is extremely knowledgeable in both Criminal and Immig Law, he looks at all angles and explains everything. He is very passionate about protecting his clients. This type of experience is extremely rare, butimportant when you have a loved one facing both crim and imm charges, which could ultimately result in removal.I hired Mr. Eckdish to assist the local criminal attorney in getting this conviction modified in Criminal Court. His expertise was valuable, he was responsive, generous with his time, he answered my calls and helped me feel at ease.The argument that was presented to the court was extremely direct, persuasive and very strong. We succeeded in getting my husband’s sentence modified, when my husband was taken in by ICE, Mr. Eckdish spoke to the ICE agent directly and spoke of all the positive things about our family. Ultimately my husband was released from ICE custody, and I cannot express how thankful I am to Mr. Eckdish. RID: 50127
Click to report rating    5/9/11   4     4     4     4     5   My husband is from Barcelona, Spain (I am American) and we needed to go through the process of obtaining a green card. Stephen made the rigorous process go smoothly and in a very timely manner. We made it clear that we wanted to get things done as soon as possible, and four months after the filing date we already received it. Stephen is very personable, knowledgeable, and VERY easy to get a hold of (one of my favorite qualities in a lawyer). He is patient and has no trouble explaining things in a clear manner. I highly recommend him for any international married couple trying to get through the green card process. Guarantee he will make the process go smoother! RID: 45405
Click to report rating    1/19/11   5     5     5     5     5   My family was going through a tough time. My father was in the process of being deported. His case was a very difficult one. I am very glad my father choose Mr. Eckdish to represent him for his case. The best choice he has made in his life. He is a great attorney. He does the job right. My father's case took a long time and with all the great work done by Mr. Eckdish my father won his case. I would recommend Mr. Eckdish to anyone with an Immigration/Crimal problem. He knows how to defend his clients with 100% satisfation. RID: 39814
Click to report rating    11/12/10   5     4     5     5     5   I would recommend Stephen Eckdish's services to anyone and everyone. I was in a dire situation where the US Government was trying to deport me for an 11 year old drug charge. I spoke with many different attorney's and all told me the same thing... there is no hope and you should just volunteer for self-removal. That is when I found Stephen and, very refreshingly, said he would take on my case and that all was not lost. After almost 2 years of dedication and perseverance to my case and situation I am proud to say that all removal proceedings have been terminated and I am now a US Citizen!! I am very grateful for the support that he provided my family and I to ensure that I am able to stay in the United States. RID: 37240
Click to report rating    1/17/10   5     4     5     5     5   My family was very fortunate to find Mr. Eckdish as our lawyer to handle my brother's criminal conviction case. He helped us in a professional manner from beginning to end; yet, he is one aggressive lawyer (in a positive way). He used the simplest language to help us understand the case. He was up-front about the whole case and answered our questions in calmly and assuring manners. Mr. Eckdish was aware of the legal complications and found an immediate solution. He knew he was taking on a challenge and executed his job very well. He was in contact with us until my brother safely came home and he still maintains his relationship with us to ensure everything is fine. Mr Echdish, we really appreciated all your hard work and patience. We were very pleased with your service and would recommend you to all my family and friends without any hesitation. RID: 26246
Click to report rating    10/26/09   5     4     5     5     5   Stephen Eckdish is an immigration lawyer and criminal defense attorney and has decades of experience and taken on hundreds of cases. I randomly found him online after doing a search and retained him 2 years ago. Because immigration law is extremely complicated, I needed a good, tough, and aggressive lawyer with years of experience to represent me. And I'm glad I found Steve! Everyone's case is different and I'm not gonna go into details of what mine entailed (there are literally millions of ways that people can get screwed over or screw themselves over), but all I can say is it was the best decision I've ever made. He's definitely busy and takes on multiple cases at a time. I've had trouble reaching him in the past, but ever since he acquired a few assistants (who btw are extremely knowledgeable, organized, and on top of things), everything has gone very smoothly. I cannot thank him enough for everything he has done for me. RID: 23573
Click to report rating    6/23/08   5     5     5     5     5   I will highly recommend Mr. Eckdish. he came across as a very compassionate,dedicated and truthful to me.His boutique office proved just right for attention that he delivered towards my case. Whenever I had any question he was always there to answer that without delay. RID: 10502
