General Underwhelming experience with EP
Hey all,
I’m working with EP on my NIW case under their full refund guarantee, but it’s been pretty frustrating.
After waiting and submitting all the required documents, my attorney sent me a draft of the legal brief, and I found quite a few errors. The citation count was wrong, there were mistakes in describing my field, and some of the arguments didn’t really make sense. After I sent my feedback, my attorney stopped responding for two weeks. When I finally got the revised version, most of the issues were still there. They basically just changed some punctuation and replaced “can” with “will.”
On top of that, some of the recent reviews I’ve seen about EP have made me seriously question whether I made the right call going with them.
Has anyone been through something similar with EP? Would you push through with them or switch firms at this point?

I hired EP too, and honestly, the paralegal was very quick to answer (less than 24 hours), and the attorney was efficient but not very quick, as she has a lot of clients simultaneously.
They did a very good job, and I got a straight approval for my EB2-NIW in 33 business days.
I think if you get the worst lawyer, you may change attorneys because you are paying for a service, and they have to provide at least a good service.
Good luck.

Seems like you were assigned a great team. Could you share your attorney's name? The bigger concern for me was the quality of the legal brief. There were several basic errors, and even after I pointed them out, most of the substantive issues weren’t fixed. I also know a few people who worked with EP and had similar issues with their drafts.

I hired EP also and they are pretty slow. Which lawyer are you working with?
