This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

That Ricky is very reliable, he is always prompt with his answers and he trats you as you are his most important client.

I found out about Ricky Palladino online. I was very reluctant to apply for the citizenship not being sure if it’s the right moment. So I requested a consultation with Ricky and at the end I hired him. He was so professionally and objective explaining me pros and cons. His human side was also a... decisive factor. Our journey together was a success story, thank you Ricky !

APPROVED AND GREEN CARD RECIEVED

I want to express my sincere gratitude to Palladino, Isbell & Casazza immigration law firm and especially to Ricky and Andrea for their exceptional legal representation. expertise, attention to detail, and dedication were evident throughout the entire process. Prior to retaining Ricky my case was on...going for 14years at the immigration court, until a pastor friend told me about Ricky and after my first consultation I knew He is what I needed in a lawyer and I also felt supported and confident, and ultimately, we achieved a positive outcome in less than 2years I received my green card. Ricky and Andrea once again thank you for your outstanding service. I highly recommend anyone who needs a professional immigration attorney to consider their services and you won't regret it.

Green card

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 I cannot thank Attorney Ricky Anthony Palladino and his team enough for their outstanding work on my immigration case. From day one, Ricky was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. He took the time to explain every step of the process in clear terms, answered all my questions ...patiently, and always made me feel supported. What impressed me most was his attention to detail and dedication — every document was prepared perfectly, and he anticipated potential issues before they arose. His confidence and expertise gave me peace of mind during a stressful process, and because of his hard work, my case was approved much faster than I expected. The entire team at Palladino, Isbell & Casazza is friendly, responsive, and committed to their clients’ success. I truly believe I couldn’t have been in better hands. I highly recommend Ricky to anyone in need of an immigration lawyer — he’s the best in Philadelphia!

"Prior to joining our law firm as a partner, I always admired Ricky's professionalism, intelligence, and ability to get positive results for his clients.

"I endorse Ricky wholeheartedly as an excellent immigration attorney. Few attorneys know immigration law as well as Ricky, but he is unique in another way. Prior to becoming a lawyer, he interned with Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE"), so he knows not only the law, but also has an insider's understanding of how immigration law is actually enforced. This is invaluable to his clients who are facing deportation, and they are well-served to have Ricky Palladino as their advocate."

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
