John T Riely

I have a friend who some immigration decisions that became regrettable. Trying to help out. As I am 1st generation born in the USA. My Personal Attorney (and GOOD FRIEND) suggested John R. I was impressed 15 seconds into the conversation (Not an easy feat). Direct. Forthright, and I felt asked the ri...ght questions - even though the questions were hard and probing. Plus the language barrier between myself and my friend... created hurdles. Response time was IMMEDIATE. Could very well be signing up for services.

Mr. Riely has worked with our family for a few years and we have the atmost respect for him. He practices with integrity, professionalism, and compassion. At the same time he is direct and realistic. He took our case after 2 attorneys had been unsuccessful. He sent multiple inquiries to the INS whe...n Thee was either a delayed beyond a reasonable time frame, or a lack of response. His persistence would be eventually followed by a reply and thank goodness, the INS replies were positive. Mr. Riely is extremely knowledgeable and makes you feel as if you are the only client he has. As a family man, we felt that he understood our own family’s hardship. We now really consider him part of our own family. Thank you Mr. Riely, you are a class act!

This recent time was my second time having John represent my interest. First time it was due to an visa status adjustment which was totally a mistake done by my university that I was attending at a the time. John completed that process very professionally in a timely manner while keeping me updated ...and informed on each and every step of the way. The reason for this review is actually the case John took over for me last year which was not related to immigration dealings aa much, but have to admit it was one of the roughest and toughest times for me. My initial lawyer was going to fail me 100% , he did not gather the information nor did address it in a more detail oriented way that John did. He stood by my side explaining every possible outcome and my options. All I have to say at the end I never regretted knowing this great gentleman for past 3 years.

I had heard great things of John and was referred to him. I reached out to John with two cases back to back and I was terrified of the possible outcomes not to mention in less than a month literally to prepare. I reached out to John and he meet with me. Due to work I was only able to see him in the e...vening and he was available to discuss my cases. He listened to me and discussed the possible outcomes but remained very positive that everything will turn out good. Both of my court dates came, and the best possible outcomes occurred! I appreciate Johns help and support through what I consider to be a very tough time for me which I am very grateful for him. He communicated with me constantly via text and call and kept me updated with everything going on with my cases. Even on short notice he was able to gather the witnesses and review lengthy evidence. He communicated with me the day before each court date to make sure we were prepared. John loves to help people, it shows in his dedication in his work and success!

He is the MOST professional and empathic attorney. I decided to hire him to help me to GET OUT of an abusive marriage without affecting my immigration status. He asked me all the facts about my marriage, the last physical abuse incident, and he got me ready for trial. He has the ability to engender a... sense of reassurance and calm confidence for clients who might be experiencing personal distress while facing life altering legal challenges. He has incredible communication skills. It was outstanding the answers that he got from my narcissist husband. Mr. Riely made evident that my husband was lying under oath. Now I have a protective order against this abuser, and soon I will be divorced. Somehow my family got involved in the incident and Mr. Riely represented them in court. I can't be more grateful for having an advocate attorney fighting for me. Mr. Riely is without doubt one of the greatest attorneys in the area.
