Excellent Immigration Attorney :)

Very knowledgable professional, experienced and completely dedicated to the client cases. Mr. Richard Alvoid, along with his personnel staff, made the process of getting my green card so convenient to me. Actualy, I didn't do anything, except showing my self in the embassy and my interview, all the ...complicated paperwork was completely handled by him and his office. I highly recommend Mr. Richard Alvoid to anyone who need professional service or assistance in handling of Imigration paperwork, green card and similar documentation. I'm very impressed from his work. Thank You Mr. Richard for your job done so well :) Big thanks to Ms. Sandra and my Pam too :)

You can rely on Richard Alvoid

Richard and his team helped me to file documents for two of my green cards and a green card for my mother (much more complicated case - sort of family reunion). I couldn't be happier with the results. Richard is very responsive and knowledgeble. Everything was done in a timely manner and there were ...absolutely no problems on the USCIS side. I would definately recommend him to anyone who needs an assistance with filing documents with USCIS.

Nunca, ever, use his services

Voy a escribir esto en espagnol, para expresarme mejor y que mis paisanos me entiendan bien, y no crean que es que estoy usando mal el ingles. Por favor nunca, pero nunca se les ocurra contratar a este segnor. No contesta ni siquiera un email. Destruyo el futuro mio y de mis hijos. Comete tantos erro...res durante el proceso, que despues son irremediables. No crean a las personas que escriben cosas bien de el, son amigos que el manda a escribir, incluso a sus empleados los manda a hacer buenos reviews. La comunicacion es pesima, no contesta el telefono, no contesta los e-mails, claro despues que se le paga completo y te hace firmar un "contrato" que dice que los fees no son reembolsables.......Es un irresponsable que no sabe lo que hace, creanme, por culpa de el me tengo que ir de USA, no vale la pena seguir esperando 6 agnos mas a que este segnor haga las cosas bien, o que las aprenda por ensayo y error. Que vaya a estudiar otra vez a ver si aprende algo y no le destruye la vida a gente trabajadora que esta legalmente en USA.

Todo que esta' escrito arriba son mentiras. Esta persona esta' enojado porque yo no reimbolsaria' il dinero despues de ganar lo que mi ha pagado, y con exito absoluto del caso. Yo juro que he respuesto a cada email che recibo, incluendo esta persona. Ademas, no he destruido la vita de ninguna persona, y se puede llamar al Florida Bar para confirmar que mi record es limpissimo. Si esta persona tiene el valor, me pueden mandar un email directamente a me decindo estas cosas. E' ironico que la gente che se accusa del dano es las ellos mismos que lastiman otros con este tipo de mensaje que seria mejor managedo en persona. Que se encuentre paz del corazon.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Immigration has become a key component of my area of practice, which is exclusively criminal law. When I have a question, I know to pick up the phone and call Richard Alvoid - it's not even close. Richard's knowledge of the law is legendary within the legal community. He lives a quiet life and never brags about it, but he is one of the brightest legal minds within the field of Immigration Law. One thing few may know is that Richard also uses extremely advanced legal technology. This reduces costs for his clients while maximizing effectiveness. Another is that he is fluent in more languages than most, and has a more international perspective than most American lawyers: it is one thing to understand American immigration law, quite another to be culturally aware at his level. Finally, Richard Arlen Alvoid, Jr. is what I consider a "Tier I" lawyer - one of the best."

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.
