Rambana and Ricci

I had a long relationship with Mr.Rambana and Ms. Ricci since 2006 when I had a legal problem with Immigration as a permanent resident because of my mistake. I went through very hard times in many difficult situations you can imagine in legal battles with them. Finally I became a US citizen this S...eptember . They are honest, Knowledgeable and straightforward to me. I really appreciate all the efforts they had provided for me to resolve my problems. They were best lawyers to me!

The Best Lawyer ever

I know Mr Rambana since 2003 . I don’t want to tell All My Story but I want to say few words for such an Excellent Attorney and such a Wonderful Man. After that I make a mistake when I came in US and I was out of Status , Mr Rambana was able through his Knowledge as a High Professional Lawer to kee...p me and my Family stay safe in US and able to work und to live there without fear. The most important Part, that I want to tell you is that not only his Excellent side as a Professional Lawyer, but his Part as a Good understanding Man, with a Big Heart and Soul, a Man with a Personality and such a Strong Character and Dignity. For me and my Family Neil Rambana is the Best Emigration’s Lawer not only in Florida but all over the Country. I wish him and his Family from the Bottom of my Heart all the Best and a lot of success in Life and his Practice.

Excellent human being

My family hired Mr. Rambana to file Form I-130 for my daughter in law (the mother of my precious granddaughter). Not only is he an excellent immigration attorney, who goes above and beyond for his clients, but he genuinely cares about the outcome for the families that he is fighting for. My daughte...r in law's application is still pending, as it takes time, but we have all the faith in the world that Mr. Rambana is on top of things and will be beside us all the way to the successful end. Throughout this process, we have needed his help and advice several times and he has always been there with advice, recommendations or personal interaction/intervention when necessary. His staff, including paralegal, Maria Torres, are excellent as well as very courteous. I would highly recommend Mr. Rambana to anyone needing an immigration attorney. You will find comfort in knowing that you are in very capable hands.

Mr. Neil Rambana is an amazing lawyer that instantly knew what to do with my case when I walked to him and explained my situation to him while I was on Deportation proceedings. I hired many lawyers before him and no one got me the results that Mr. Rambana did . as my case has been pending for year...s and years in the JACKSONVILLE Office and been wrongfully denied couple of times by the above office . Mr. Rambana is very professional that put himself into my shoes and fight super hard to get me a hearing in the immigration court that USCIS office been delaying and delaying for many years . Mr. Rambana and his stuff are very professional and very friendly and made me feel confident that I was getting the best service possible. He helped me win my case that been denied twice by JAX USCIS office . Neil assured me he will be on top of my case and gave me some great advice. He and his team are great at what they do to make sure you are respectfully heard and they take into consideration all aspects of your situation. I am proud of the job that Rambana and Ricci office did for me and I highly recommend his office to anyone that looking to hire an immigration lawyer because you’ll be 100% pleased .

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
