Very professional and knowledgeable attorney I have ever met
When my friends ask me if I know an immigration attorney, I always feel secure recommending Lucas. Lucas helped me with my citizenship case and he is helping me bring my mother to the United States. He is very knowledgeable and I feel very comfortable with him.

Excellent Immigration Attorney
I have had the pleasure of having attorney Rezende as a Professor at St. John's University School of Law, a couple of years ago, and recently as a consulting attorney. I would recommend him to anybody because he is extremely competent and very dedicated.

Lucas Arthur Cerceau Rezende's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Lucas is a zealous advocate for his clients, he always is prepared for Court and well versed on the law."
"I endorse this attorney. I have known Lucas Rezende for over 3 years. He is an extremely diligent and responsible individual who cares about his clients. Counselor Rezende is very helpful to his his colleagues . Mr. Rezende is professional and knowledgeable attorney."
"I know Lucas from St. John's University, where we both attended law school together. I was a student teaching assistant in his introductory legal course, and we stayed in touch thereafter. Lucas is soft-spoken, modest and humble. Like an iceberg, there's a lot more than initially meets the eye. When I refer Lucas clients for immigration work, I feel confident that they're going to get some of the best and reasonably priced representation on their matter compared to any other attorney or firm out there in the New York market. It's very hard to find a good and reliable immigration referral, but I always feel secure with Lucas. We've also handled real estate closing work together (on opposite sides of the table), and he's obviously very professional, cordial and diligent. He's obviously very intelligent and well-educated, and a hard worker. As one of the top graduates in his class, I don't think clients can hope to find much better representation with anyone else."
