Reunited Family after 2.5 year Immigration Case!

After working with a lawyer unsuccessfully my family thought that we had no other option within immigration law. Ricky Palladino was very honest and willing to represent my husband on his case, while remaining transparent. Ricky understands the need for client confidentiality and has a "no judgemen...t" approach. He is highly educated and connected in Immigration Law, Family Immigration Law, and his experience of being an advocate and counselor is beneficial. He went over and beyond with our case when my husband was detained in 2013 and removed to Tanzania. While he was in Tanzania Mr. Palladino continued to fight for my case with ICE, DHS, and the Immigration Court. He gained the approval to have my husband paroled back into the country in 2016. My husband was granted his green card in 2016 and has been able to find employment. Without Mr. Palladino's representation I know that my family would still be separated and that we would have no justice within the immigration court system. I have spoken to and vetted several immigration lawyers and he is the only one that showed empathy to my families situation and acted as if it was his own. If Mr. Palladino represents your family , or your immigration case, I can assure you that he will go over and beyond your own expectations.

Professional and dedicated advocate

Ricky is not just an immigration lawyer, but he is also a client advocate who vehemently and wholeheartedly works with the client and the system to get resolution. My asylum claim was not easy at all - we had to revive it from death - but with patience, perseverance and hard work we got the job do...ne and Ricky has been a key role player. His optimism is contagious and am proud to consider him a friend.

Expert representation

Ricky successfully helped my wife obtain her citizenship after her first application was denied. He explained the entire process, prepped her, and was present with her at the interview. I highly recommend Ricky as he inspired our confidence with his knowledge of the law.

The best attorney for the most difficult immigration case

I am very pleased to write this review regarding my successful experience having Mr. Ricky Palladino as my attorney for an immigration case I had. Me and my family had just relocated to Philadelphia, and I was in need of an attorney for removal proceedings against me by the USCIS. After an extensive ...online research and reading reviews about several lawyers, I decided to reach out to Ricky with my case. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. From the very first time we met in his office, and after hearing my side of the case, Ricky was always forthright about the difficulty of the case. He was extremely patient and professional describing to me and my husband what needed to be done to try to transfer the case to Philadelphia, what the subsequent steps would be, and what the government lawyers or prosecutors would likely be doing preparing for the case. In the course of our discussions, Ricky was realistic and never gave any false hope. He made it clear that the chances of winning the removal proceedings based on charges of marriage fraud, with the government having such strong lines of evidence against me, were pretty slim. Yet, he was confident and willing to go the distance. He laid out his defense strategy, and discussed with us what we needed to do. He treated us with a lot of respect and was never condescending. That attitude made us very comfortable to share our thoughts and feel that he was always looking out for us. Because of the way he handled the case and treated us, we felt that he was doing all he could, and that made us prepared to accept any outcome of the case. One of Ricky's impressive attributes is that he is more concerned about helping his clients than how much money he can make out of a case. I feel that Ricky deserves every dollar he got out of my case, not because we won, but because of how much work and effort he put into the case. I feel very fortunate that I found Ricky, and I'm thankful to the people that wrote those raving reviews about Ricky before mine. My advice to anyone considering to hire or consult with Ricky is that you need to be honest, lay everything out, and be prepared to hear the truth and the reality, because those are the things you get when you talk to him. I would highly recommend Ricky Palladino to anyone that is looking for an immigration attorney in this region. I believe he is in the top 1% of immigration lawyers in the Philadelphia area. I make this recommendation not because he won our case, but mostly because of his professionalism, patience, his understanding of the situation, and above all the respect for his clients.

Request for removal proceedings by immigration

Upon return from an overseas vacation, our son was held at the airport by immigration due to an issue that we thought was long resolved. Mr. Palladino was extremely thorough in his review of our case, the applicable law and the realistic percentages of winning the case. He was at all times totally ...professional, approachable and responsive to our numerous questions and concerns. He provided the fee structure for the various services he would provide and at what time in the process of our case the respective fees would become effective. Our case was resolved successfully and without any hidden fees. Our case was not an easy one and issues came up that had to be resolved on an ongoing basis. We were extremely thankful to have Ricky represent us in this matter.
