Above and Beyond !

Ricky was recommended to me; that in itself is always a good start. His diligence, tenacity, responsiveness and patience were provided in abundance in what was a pretty tricky process as far as I am concerned. His knowledge of the subject and highly professional manner left me feeling always confiden...t that I had made a good decision when hiring him. I have had cause to make further contact recently, and Ricky's willingness to support and advise in unrelated matters didn't surprise me, because I have been accustomed to his going 'above and beyond'. An exceptional lawyer, to be highly recommended.

Best immigration attorney in Pennsylvania!

After 7 years, several denials of our I-485 based on my husband's so-called inadmissibility, many interviews and 3 other attorneys, my husband and I were so fortunate that the attorney that was handling our case at the time was unable to attend our interview and asked Ricky to cover it for him. Aft...er our pre-interview meeting with Ricky, we knew that we had finally found the lawyer that would get the job done. We immediately fired our prior attorney and here we are, just 3 short months later with my husband's green card!!! We had wasted so much time, tons of money and many tears through this process. There are a lot of attorney thieves out there who take your money and really have no idea what they're doing, but Ricky is an expert in his field and knew exactly what needed to be done. He wasted no time and jumped right into our case. There were two possible ways of handling my husband's so-called inadmissibility and instead of him wasting the time and expense of doing one and potentially getting denied again, he just did both at once. That way, if the waiver was denied for the first reason, there was the other argument for the immigration officer to immediately consider. He took no chances. He knew that this was our life he was dealing with and really felt so bad that we had been strung along by bad attorney after bad attorney. He takes the time to review recent case law to keep himself up to date on the current rulings in immigration cases to know exactly how to handle each of his clients' specific situations. He also has a good rapport with many of the immigration officers in the Philadelphia office. They seem to respect him and take him seriously, which makes the whole interview process so much easier. He keeps his clients informed and is easily accesible to them. There was never a phone call or email that was not returned. Ricky is down to earth , easy to talk to and an all-around great guy. He truly is the BEST in his field and my husband and I are delighted that we were fortunate enough to have had him work on our case and obtain my husband's green card for us. If you have what you think is a difficult case, there truly is no better immigration attorney in Pennsylvania to handle your case for you.

Top notch immigration lawyer

After section 2 of DOMA was deemed unconstitutional, I hired Ricky to handle the green card petition for my spouse. Ricky and his team have been amazing. They are extremely knowledgeable, very reactive, and caring. Ricky also has the not-so-common ability to explain complex things in layman's terms, ...which is very helpful when you're not familiar with the process and its risks. Ricky was recommended to me by my brother, who had found that Ricky was very creative and found solutions that were not immediately obvious.

An extremely competent, enthusiastic, detailed oriented, diligent, passionate, and knowledgeable immigration lawyer.

Mr Ricky Palladino is simply the best in class! Ricky is the lawyer you want working on your complicated immigration case. I hired Ricky 3 months ago for a case that had been pending for over two years. Not only did he recommend an approach that worked, he was diligent, detailed oriented, and consist...ently updated me on the progress. Ricky is very reachable, and unlike my previous lawyer who took days to get back to me, Ricky was very quick to respond to me whenever I had a question. Furthermore, he always kept me informed about the progress of my case. If you want a quick resolution to your case, no matter how complicated, and a lawyer who fights for you all the way through, Ricky is your man. I recommend him without any reservations.

VERY GOOD, KNOWLEDGEABLE & TRUSTWORTHY LAWYER

Ricky is best lawyer in his profession. He is very knowledgeable and very accurate about the immigration procedures. I hired his services only once, and thereafter whenever i needed his advice he promptly answered my emails without any fee. He even called to clear my doubts. When i was in difficult s...ituation during my immigration procedure, he advised me how results will appear as per timeline and i was surprised when everything worked out the exact way as he told me. He is the first and last choice for me and my family. I would love to recommend him to anyone without second thought.
