Cons
1
The lawyer is reported to be non-responsive, unprepared for court, and lacking in strategy
“Non responsive, unprepared for court, no strategy to win, just goes along for the ride.”
2
The lawyer is described as incompetent, not having any contacts with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and not advocating for the client with DHS
“doesn't have any DHS contacts, you have to provide it to him, never advocate for the client with DHS, literally tells the other side he is just there for the money.”
3
The lawyer is reported to mishandle administrative tasks, such as misspelling petitions and charging exorbitant fees for them
“petitions are misspelled and you can expect to pay $2800 for each document he files.”
4
The lawyer is accused of being unresponsive, not providing legal advice, and overcharging clients
“won't answer questions saying he can't give you legal advice on the case or other petitions even though he was paid. Something very quirky with this guy. Sadly the case could have been quashed on day 1 if he was competent as other party lied on the petition regarding title 30 criteria, etc. motivated by filthy lucre and will milk you dry and will not advance your case . Will obligate you financially going way over the retainer.”
5
The lawyer is described as a "fraud" who disappears with the client's money and provides no service
“Mr Eckstein is a fraud. My mother paid him a $3000 retainer and he disappeared for months on a very time sensitive case. Not only did he use $1200 of it for reading a few small emails, we reached out daily for over a month and never had our calls or emails returned or the work we paid him for taken care of in any way.”
