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.
