READ THIS !!!! What you need to know before hiring an immigration attorney

Rick Palladino is a consummate professional, who truly cares about those that he represents. In 2016, finding an immigration attorney that not only provides results, but also addresses the anxiety and vulnerability that people experience with the USCIS. Ricky and his staff project confidence during... every step of the process, from an initial consultation to facing a USCIS Case Officer. The feeling one gets when calling USCIS and interacting with an automated system, or only getting partial answers to your questions will never occur once you are a client of Mr. Palladino. We felt that Ricky represented us as if we were his own family, and the same can be said of his staff. Whether it be a phone call, email, or simply stopping by the office, Rachel and the others that work with Ricky are always knowledgeable of you and your specific case, and someone can always be reached. When the day came to interview with the USCIS Case Officer, which could ultimately have resulted in the removal of my wife from the United States, I looked around the waiting area inside the USCIS building and saw over 100 people waiting to meet with a Case Officer, and while I saw family members and friends, I did not see a lawyer for anyone. Wait, I did see one attorney, it was Ricky Palladino, and he was their to represent us for our interview with the USCIS. Other families had hired attorneys for their specific cases, however they were simply called and told about the date and time to appear at USCIS, and given advice over the phone of what to expect and how to present themselves during questioning. I found the same information searching Google the night prior. Ricky was there in person to take control of the situation, and ensure the USCIS case officer was given the necessary paperwork and explanations to our specific situation, which prevented the case officer from being able to continue questioning, and a decision in our favor was immediately made. We had previously filed the same evidence and paperwork to USCIS 6 months prior in which they denied our action, and threatened removal from the United States. You have a choice to hire a lawyer or go through the USCIS and ICE process on your own. In either case, you will be paying the USCIS for every action and request that you submit. If you want an attorney that has not been desensitized to the stress people feel when facing immigration issues, then I recommend scheduling an appointment with Ricky Palladino. He brings the energy and confidence needed to alleviate you of dealing with undue stress, and that made the difference in how we dealt with our case. Knowing that someone with subject matter expertise and genuinely cared about the outcome of our case made all the difference. Couldn't think more highly of Ricky Palladino and his team!!!

Deportation Case

We hired Palladino for a deportation case and were very happy with the result. Initially we worked with another lawyer (for 15 months) without ANY progress after spending SEVERAL thousand dollars. We consulted Palladino and then hired him. He is very KNOWLEDGEABLE, TRUSTWORTHY, HONEST and PROFESSIO...NAL. He will tell you EXACTLY what your possible case outcomes are and what is the most likely outcome from his experience. He is very friendly, diligent, and confident in what he is doing. He PROMPTLY responds to all your questions by email and or phone whichever you prefer. He got our case done in LESS THAN 12 months! I RECOMMEND Palladino for any immigration case: deportation, visa, citizenship. In fact, we were so pleased with him that we hired him AGAIN to help with citizenship.

Best immigration lawyer!

Hands down Ricky is the best. I searched high and low for a lawyer until I found Ricky. He answered all my questions, made the process easy, and was always there to answer any questions I had. If you need an immigration lawyer Ricky is your man.

Ricky is the best immigration attorney

Ricky Palladino is a very knowledgeable immigration attorney that is focused on his client's needs. He was the only one who explained me the options I have and made me believe that my case was very strong. Some other attorneys I had consultations with told me I didn't have enough evidence to win the ...case. I hired Ricky to apply for VAWA case and got it approved recently without receiving any request for further evidence from immigration. He always answered any questions I had very quick in the same day. I would recommend Ricky Palladino to everyone who is looking for immigration attorney no matter how difficult your situation is.

Best result oriented, trustworthy, kind immigration attorney

Mr. Ricky Palladino has been a God's answered prayer for me. He was highly knowledgable, trustworthy, focused, always on touch to update and guide through the process of my green card, and in an amazingly quick and effortless way solved my issue and I had the GC in my hand on 3 weeks. This is after m...y I-485 was pending for 9 months, and then Ricky came into the picture. It was just a pleasure knowing such a good person and an immigration attorney. I will, hands down, recommend him to anyone with out a single doubt. If you have him on your side, it will be your best decision. Thanks a million Mr. Ricky Palladino.
