John T Riely

He was my lawyer for my immigration matters,( permanent residence application) consulted him and I did not regret that I hired him because he is so hardworking, considerate, direct to the point to his clients, time is always of essence to him ,I should say never wasted time but act on my case prompt ...and fast. Whenever there are matters to be done relating to my case he always act on them with a cheerful attitude and with a ready smile on his face. You will never feel alienated with this person, he is brilliant, kind and warm hearted, quality of a person you are to look for a lawyer to take on your case . My immigration case was a success and I am very grateful for his kind help.

I was referred to Mr. Riely by a doctor friend of mine. He has helped my partner intensely with the immigration process from work permit to green card holder and now US citizenship. Mr. Riely is very patient and consistent with his work. He knows his stuff. His pricing is very reasonable as well. For...ever grateful of all his hard work!. I highly recommend him.

I met John Riely days before Christmas of 2016, my family was given his name by a family friend but also a former client. BEST word of mouth referral ever! As I was leaving for work that day, I realized that my long-time boyfriend, daughter's father's truck was still parked right outside the house..., but he had left for work a few hours earlier, or so I thought. It was weird for his truck to still be there but sometimes, he would carpool so it didn't alarm me at first. It wasn't until I was leaving for work that I looked inside and saw, his lunch, coat, work boots, etc., I looked around and there was no sign of him, started calling him and no answer, called his co-worker, no sign of him there either. Now I'm freaking out and decide to drop my daughter off at daycare and come back home to look for him. As I was driving back home, my phone rings and it's a Baltimore number, and this is where our nightmare began. At 4:30 am, as G was leaving for work, ICE was right outside our house waiting for him. With Deportation proceedings from many years back, out future was uncertain. More than anything, it was our daughter that concerned me the most, her 4th B-day was less than 2 wks away and like any little girl, G is the apple of her eye, her prince charming and they have a special bond. My daughter also has medical problems which stem from birth and without G's help, support both financially and emotionally, this all would have more than difficult. I had no idea what was going to happen, until my sister and I went to meet with John in the early afternoon that same day. I was a crying, nervous mess and my sister did most of the asking, but John was very direct, straight and to the point and did not sugarcoat anything at all. Did he say this case was going to be easy? NO! Did he make any guarantee as to the outcome? NO! But he did say that he would work tirelessly for us and for my little girl to have her Daddy back at home as soon as possible. Everything John told us was spot on, it wasn't easy and it took weeks but it finally happened. He worked tirelessly like he said, he called with questions, he met me when he needed paperwork, he drove out of his way, in a snowstorm to pick up information from us. It took a couple of weeks but my little girl now has her Daddy back at home, we're a family again. Is out nightmare over, not just yet, but John continues to work on G's case. John was not only our representing attorney, but my therapist, my shoulder to cry on at times, listened to my frustrations and much more. Not only was he our representing attorney but has worn many hats for our family! THANK YOU JOHN!! There is no way this would have been possible without you! CMJ
