EA Law, LLC
This is a family-run law firm in the heart of Atlanta specializing in immigration law and misdemeanor criminal and traffic defense. We associate with an incredible worker’s compensation law firm and excellent personal injury lawyers so that we can also represent people who were hurt at work, in an automobile accident, or in other types of accidents.
Whatever your needs are, we will help you find a solution.
For many people, it is difficult to find an “immigration attorney near me,” which is why we offer video and phone consultations, but some people prefer to meet in person, and we believe that anyone who is willing to take time from their day to drive to a lawyer’s office should be able to see the attorney at no cost.
For this reason, we offer free in-person consultations as well as virtual appointments for a small convenience fee. If you decide to hire us, we will credit your virtual consult fee to your account.
It’s frustrating to make an appointment during your work day, only to be told that the attorney cannot help you, so we frequently create evening and weekend availability for appointments, so that you do not have to take time off work to meet with an attorney.

However, some immigrants are eligible to file “waivers” to ask for forgiveness for immigration law violations. An attorney can help prepare many different types of waivers, including the I-601, I-601A, and I-212.
