Made life easy

I approached Ricky to handle my immigration paperwork and found his knowledge invaluable . It was evident he is very experienced in these matters and backed by a great team, communication throughout was excellent. It also helped that he is an easy person to talk to and has great character. Overall... it was a pleasure working with him and he made the process simple.

RICKY is the MAN you want to have ON your side.RICKY is the MAN who is an EXPERT in immigration cases.HE is the MOST honest

FIrst of ALL we as family would recommend RICKy and his firm to Anybody out there trying to solve their cases.Ricky will be OPEN with you from the start,he will make you feel comfortable as the conversation go on and you will have the GOOD feeling in you before you leave the office. The minute we... came to RICKY's office in walnut street,which is really convenient and pretty close to USCIS phila office. LISA the great assistant welcomed us and made us very comfortable and RICKY steps in the Office and went down the business in a professional matter,honest with his client and very open , any kind of questions i had. He knew Our concerns and he was aware of the looooooooong processing time of USCIS with all kind of excuses after we had so many INFO PASS and so many service requests,so many senator ,representative inquries and it came down the only LAST option. So there they were SOLOW,ISBELL and PALLADINO firm. They took the case and started working on it after the minute we left RICKY's Office.While we were talking the beatiful asssistant LISA and heading out from the office,Ricky was already doing his PART and giving us THUMBS UP and next morning i got emails from RICKY and ADAM keeping us update regarding their SWIFT actions.We had the feeling that case would resolved quciker than 3 months which was the processing time by law and Surprisingly NEXT MORNING we gotta EMAIL from USCIS saying case was APPROVED in just 1 day. So we would really like to thank Ricky and his firm with the SWIFT actions they took and resolved our case in 1 day and also his assistant LISA who were always very kind to us and kept us informed by email or phone if we needed to call if you really want your case handled properly and do not need headache from USCIS,you should give a call to RICKY when you are done reading MY review.THATS EXACTLY WHAT WE DID and that was the smartest choice we ever did

Excellence and Professional all the way!!!!!

My husband and I were searching for a lawyer for years that could help us with his immigration case and we were turned down by many claiming to be a dead end. We went to our local Catholic Charities agency and we were sent to Ricky to tackle this case. What we loved about Ricky is that he took the ti...me to listen and gave us the confidence in trusting him to tackle our case. I have to say that he is very professional and when we went to the Immigration office in Philadelphia, it was very comforting to see how very respected he is. His work has been FLAWLESS and we are expecting my husband's son arrival from Venezuela anytime soon, it has been 10 plus years that my husband has not seen his son. We thank and owe alot to Ricky for helping us!!! the Journey is not fully over, but Ricky has given us another plan on how he would tackle it depending our outcome!! I don't think that there is any tough case Ricky can't handle, this guy in knowledgeable and confident in his work and this is what is comforting to anyone who is looking for an Immigration Lawyer to help them.

IF You want Attorney that will listen,explain,show ways,and FIGHT for you, ricky is the TOP whatever your case is.HE WILL HELP!!

i ve been dealing with USCIS for myself long time since i came to this country more than10 years ago,FINALLY i became citizen last year and now it was time to deal with USCIS again this time for my wife after i got married.I knew a lot of things about applications and process.But the slow processing ...time of USCIS got me thinking i should hire attorney who can help,explain us the ways or our options . Ricky was very honest with us from the first we stepped in his office in WALNUT Street which is very close to USCIS office so you can just walk there if you need to.(And he can get to your cases much faster than other attorneys of course if he needs to be there for you) HE listened very carefully and explained our options then he BACKED his knowledge with his clients case by showing me about the results he got(which you dont find it with lots of other attorneys ) He showed me the LAW change which i wasnt aware of and no way i was able to find it after all my searches.HE KNEW it,explained it and printed for us to keep it. We really were impressed with his knowledge considering his young age BUT to me being young is WANT TO DO MORE.Being young is LISTEN MORE.Being young is FIGHT MORE if needed.So thats what i saw with RICKY.And TRUST me i ve dealt couple other attorneys around the area, i had some come late to interviews with traffic excuses, and i had some sleeping in front of me while i was trying to explain something. WHATEVER your case is,make sure give a call to RICKY and also LISA in his office will make you REALLY WELCOME. Wherever you are in the case,1 month,6months,2 years waiting or more or when you think you have no OPTIONS LEFT with other attorneys,you will still have RICKY to fight for you.But i would definetely recommend hiring him before you do anything,cos REMEMBER everything you do in the process gets recorded so its better do it right with RICKY I RECOMMEND HIM TO ANYBODY WITH ANY IMMIGRATION CASES cos i already told the people i know about him. THANKS Ricky

Professional, competent, and gets the job done right!!

Ricky is a great lawyer, he really cares about his clients beyond their legal matters. I had a complex family immigration situation and tried many lawyers who were considered top notch but in the end; none got the job done until I found Ricky. He gives you a clear plan of action, his expectations a...nd opinions right away and its always clear and precise, which makes understanding complex legal matters easier. He is punctual and professional, very organized and just an overall great person. He always takes the time to help you through the process and know what to expect. He really works hard for you and I wouldn't go anywhere else for any immigration matter. My only regret is that I found him when my situation became complex through the incompetence of other lawyers, but he helped my family work through it and now I'm at a much better position. Overall, he is the best and most hardworking lawyer I have ever met (and I have tried 4 different Immigration lawyers) and he really gets the job done proficiently.
