Labe M. Richman

Lave literally saved my life, I had a criminal misdemeanor charge, I pleaded guilty, too, even though I was not involved or had anything to do with what happened that day, but the police officer falsified some of the evidence that he presented in court, and I ended up pleading guilty to a misdemeanor..., because I simply had no choice. Some few months after INS used this charge to get me deported. Labe was hired and did a wonderful job studying my case and managed to appeal my conviction, which lead to my release with no bail, from prison. Labe did a wonderful job fighting this case for me until we won , reversing it to a violation. And believe me this was not an easy task, took a lot of time and work, I’m sure 100% if I have used any other attorney I would not make it. Labes knowledge of the criminal system and criminal law is above and beyond. This guy doesn’t take shortcuts to make it easier for him self at costumers expense, he fully dedicates himself and his time to make sure you receive best service and results there is possible. He don’t promise anything ahead of the end, but believe me you will receive the best you can get. And that is my honest opinion, and believe me I have been around the block more then a few times and have used many different attorneys in NYC for different incidents that I have got my self in to. This guy is the best and hones I have seen, if not the best to have fighting for you in NYC period. God bless his heart and soul he really came through for me. I wish all of you good luck and success in your case.

Mr. Richman is an extremely skillful and dedicated attorney in one of the hardest areas of legal practice which is post-conviction relief. As an immigration attorney representing a client in his removal proceeding, I had to seek the best criminal defense attorney I could find to file a motion with c...riminal court to vacate and change the client’s criminal sentence so that he could qualify for cancellation of removal. He was a long-term lawful permanent resident facing deportation with no chance to be even considered for cancellation because of his single aggravated felony conviction. A reduction of the client’s sentence by only one day, would change the classification of his conviction for immigration purposes, making him eligible to apply for cancellation. (I wish my client’s former criminal attorney knew what difference just one day in the sentence could have made for his non-citizen client.) However, it was very hard to change the sentence through a post-conviction motion. Another criminal defense attorney retained by the client’s family had already filed such a motion without success. At this time, I decided to find the best attorney in town to try it again, and I found one, Mr. Richman. He re-filed the motion and fiercely fought for our client at the state court level. He was then ready to continue the battle in federal court when, finally, the criminal court agreed to vacate and reduce the sentence. This victory allowed me to reopen the client’s deportation case and seek cancellation of removal, which was granted. Our client is a US citizen today and the life of his family of immigrants was not torn apart by deportation due to effective assistance provided by Mr. Richman. I remain grateful to Mr. Richman for accepting such a challenging case and for the remarkable winning that opened an avenue for me to fight for the client in immigration court. I also greatly appreciate all the guidance on immigration-related criminal issues I have received from Mr. Richman throughout the years.

Words cannot express how well Labe Richman does his job. He is the kind of person that appreciates challenging cases and turns second-rate lemons into top-shelf lemonade. My brother's immigration case required an appeal to criminal court and the family was afraid there would be no way out. It was not... a slam dunk by any stretch of the imagination. We found Labe incidentally as the case was being represented by an attorney that knows him in an immigration matter. He was straightforward with us all through the matter. His surgical precision with the task at hand offered an outcome far better than anyone anticipated, even himself! The magic that happens when Mr. Richman puts pen to paper is astounding. He not only has excellent mannerisms and expresses depth of care for his clients, he also knows the ins and outs of appellate work, which is a very hard field even for practicing attorneys. I can imagine in the near future Mr. Richman will be turning clients away because of time constraints and inability to represent more than he can handle.

I had a hard time finding an attorney to represent my case. The first time I met Mr. Labe Richman I had confidence and I felt comfortable because he made me feel that way. He is not only knowledgeable, but also he is dedicated, hardworking, and trustworthy. He kept me well informed about my case and ...the legal procedures. I was lucky to have Mr. Richman as my attorney. I would highly recommend him to anyone who might need legal help. I'm so thankful for everything you did for me Mr. Richman. You saved my life. Thank you so much!
