Great experience

My wife and I engaged John with my Green Card application. I am writing this review after I received the card. John was with us every step of the way. He is a friendly, direct and very helpful person. We didn't encounter any difficulties on the way. We would recommend him wholeheartedly.

An Outstanding Lawyer with exceptional interpersonal skills.

MR Riely was introduced to me by my cousin Marian Nyandebo to handle my immigration case after the previous lawyer messed up the case and gave up for me to be deported. I was by then in detention, and i was undergoing final process for deportation as my case was closed. It was at that stressful time ...that God sent Mr John T Riely came to my defense.He brought hope to my already shattered hope. His positive interaction with me upon his first visit to me at the detention center couples with his assurances that he will do all his best legally to defend me, brought some sigh of relieve. The game changer (Mr Riely) as I used to call him when telling my colleagues about my lawyer is a man of his words. He did his utmost just as he promised. I was released out of ICE detention without paying a bond neither with ankle bracelet. He never gives up on any case till the final end, Even when your case is closed, this relentless Lawyer will find all legal means to fill an appeal for a motion to reopen the case for another hearing. He always do his best to the very end. He is now tirelessly working on to ensure that my status as a Green Card holder is reinstated. If you need immigration or criminal lawyer with experiences, proven track record , respect to human dignity irrespective of the nature of your case, and an understanding lawyer to work with, you have the right man.Contact Mr John T. Riely right now, and your nightmare will be over. I recommend him 100% Plus. He is my HERO.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I enthusiastically endorse Mr. Riely. He is a tireless advocate for his clients and knows more about the law than most law professors. He is an expert in the fields of immigration and criminal law and understands the complex intersection of these areas of law. He is well respected by judges as an honest and ethical attorney who works hard for his clients. He is the first attorney I turn to for advice whenever I am faced with a new or complex immigration or criminal law case. In addition to knowing the law, he pays close attention to the factual details of each case in order to obtain the best result for his clients. He is the attorney I would hire if any member of my family needed an immigration or criminal law attorney because I trust that he would achieve the very best resolution."

Relationship: Co-worker

"I endorse John T. Riely without hesitation. We collaborate almost on a daily basis. I trust him inherently, both personally and professionally. He is a lawyer and a person of the highest work ethic, skill and integrity. I trust his judgement and rely on him assuredly. We met 20 years ago as opposing counsel in matrimonial case with complex immigration undertones and consequences. He is the consummate "straight-shooter" and will never lead anyone astray if he does not truly believe a particular course of action is warranted and meritorious. I cannot possibly say enough to justify a full description of how highly I think of this of John Riely. If you meet him about your case, you will learn why I say this rather quickly..."
