The BEST Immigration lawyer!!!!

Ricky Palladino is an amazingly talented lawyer. Not only does he think outside the box but he is also hard working, supportive. He always took time to explain everything to us and answer our questions. My dad's case was very complicated and most of the lawyers told us that there is no hope. We were ...referred to Ricky by another lawyer that didn't want to take our case. He said that if anyone could help us it would be Ricky and he was right. Thanks to Ricky Palladino my dad now has a green card and can finally start living the American dream!!!

Amazing lawyer

Ricky is an excellent lawyer. We had him for an immigration case and he handled it perfectly. He was very precise and knew exactly what to do.

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.

An Extremely Competent Immigration Lawyer and Genuinely Nice Guy

I myself am a licensed attorney in the US, but I studied here as a foreign national, on a student visa. When the time came for me to pursue a family based application for permanent residency, I started looking around for a competent immigration lawyer to advise me on some of the more complicated asp...ects of immigration law. After some unsatisfying encounters with a few other lawyers, I was very fortunate to land upon Ricky Palladino. As a lawyer myself, I was extremely impressed by the way Ricky does things. He is extremely knowledgable about immigration law, and he has a rare gift of breaking down complex matters into simple steps and explaining things in simple English. While in his presence, I watched and heard him interact with a few of his other clients, and although it was obvious that some of them were not very proficient in English, it was amazing watching how patiently and with how much care he explained exactly where the case was and what the next steps were to be. It was very evident to me that he was genuinely a nice guy who simply loves doing what he does, which obviously helps him being the great lawyer that he is. As for my own case, Ricky handled it with perfection. He kept me constantly informed on exactly what phase of the application process we were, and what the next steps were going to be. If there was any uncertainty involved (for example, sometimes it can be difficult to predict exactly how long the USCIS would take to rule on or reply to something), he explained it to me beforehand, so I didn't needlessly worry or get nervous. I now have my Green Card, and I am extremely satisfied with the legal counsel that I received from Ricky throughout the entire process. I have since recommended him to a number of my own friends and family members, and I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone in need of a good immigration lawyer, who is also just a genuinely nice guy.
