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!

The best immigration attorney period

Allright, so I will make this really short. There is absolutely no reason you should be going and contemplating hiring anyone else but Ricky. I have dealt with a lot of different attorneys in my life and only met 2 that were trustworthy, Ricky being one of them. Most lawyers find ways to prolong your... case and suck more money out of you while providing little to no results. Ricky is an absolute exception to that. I strongly consider that my case was one of the toughest to crack. Considering that I acquired a criminal record I felt that my deportation was imminent. Ricky found a way to not only keep me in the country but a way to legalize my status and eventually get a green card. He charged me exactly what he promised he would which was way below what any other attorney would charge to begin with. I find him to be a very knowledgeable, respectfull, honest (which is so hard to find with attorneys nowadays) and most of all understanding of the situation. If you have already hired a different attorney but thinking of switching, do not walk, run to Ricky, he will get you results! I would absolutely recommend him to not only anyone in the area but to anyone no matter where you are in the world period. Ricky, I am forever great full, if there is ever anything and I mean anything I can do...I am proud to call you a friend, there is no other attorney as good and as honest as you are.

Best Lawyer

Mr. Ricky Palladino is in my opinion, a great lawyer. I had a very sensitive criminal conviction that would have been very difficult to obtain my citizenship, according to three different attorneys, who informed me that if I was to apply, I might be put on deportation list.I read about Mr. Palladino... in the newspaper about another case where he successfully another client. Since I met Mr. Palladino, he seemed to be a very honest, knowledgeable and confident that he could help me correct my situation. I decided to hired Mr. Palladino July 2011, to help me change my citizenship status. With his hard work and knowledge, I received my notification that I was on my way to becoming a United States Citizen. I would highly recommend Mr. Palladino to anyone needing legal advice or a reliable attorney.

#1 Attorney

Attorney Palladino is the best attorney I have ever worked with. He successfully helped my family and I obtain our green cards even though I have a previous criminal conviction. He was respectful, honest, professional and diligent. I truly feel as though he listened to all of my concerns and fulfi...lled all of the promises he made.
