Excellent

Ricky is very professional, excellent and so cool person/lawyer. He definitely knows his jobe very well and his all suggestions/directions during immigration case are perfectly true. In addition, he made me feel so relax and cool before i had my GC interview.

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.

Best lawyer out there

We were in a very difficult situation with deportation on my tail and being denied for asylum. When we contacted Ricky, he gave us hope that everything will be ok and that we can get our first approve . And he did everything he said he will. Very confident, easy to talk, informative, and down to ear...th person. I keep telling to everyone that he is the one to go to.

The Best of the Best!

My father has a criminal record and had a bit trouble getting his green card renewed/ naturalization. Prior to Ricky, my family worked with a few other lawyers who weren't able to get his case solved. Luckily, Ricky was able to get my father his green card renewed and his naturalization as well. My f...ather's case was difficult and he had to work above and beyond what other lawyer's would do. My father's criminal records were old so Ricky had to get new paperwork for all of his records. This case was time consuming but Ricky was very kind. He never judged my father for his previous mistakes and tried his best to understand my fathers thick accent. He helped my father gain a sense of trust in him to feel comfortable. Not only did Ricky solve a case that other lawyer's couldn't, he also made sure to check up with my father even after his interview was over. He personally called my father to let him know the date for his Oath of Naturalization. If you have any immigration cases, I highly recommend Ricky. Do not waste your time or money on other lawyers! Thank you so much Ricky for finally solving my fathers case. He can finally have a good night's sleep!

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!!!
