He’s the best at what he does

He’s experience speak for itself, and my case was dealt with professionally. From consultation to Finalizing my case, he was with me all the way and And he knew exactly what to do at what stage

Highly Recommended Attorney!

When it was time to renew my VISA, Mr Alvoid was not only knowledgable with the legal requirements but also very understanding emotionally. My situation as an immigrant required me to take a trip back overseas to help take of a sick family member. Even though my timing was urgent, he and his assistan...t made sure the process went smoothly - and I was able to renew my VISA very quickly. Because of Mr. Alvoid and his team, I was able to support the health needs of my relative. I highly recommend him as an immigration attorney. He is very professional, kind, and makes this process so much easier. Thank you Mr. Alvoid!

Better than 5 stars

Mr Alvoid and Sandra were such great help during our green card application process. They took care of everything for us, we’re excellent in communicating with us, meetings with Mr Alvoid we’re always scheduled in a timely manner, and there is so much more. We would definitely use his services again ...and recommend him to anyone!

Perfect lawyer

Ho avuto l'avvocato Alvoid come consulente per il mio visto B1/B2 Americano. E' stato molto bravo, competente, comprensivo ed ha raggiunto l'obiettivo dell'incarico. Lo consiglio alle persone che hanno problemi di visa per l'America. Alessandro M. - Italy

Excellent Immigration Lawyer

It's a joy to work with Richard Avoid and his competent, friendly staff. Let's face it, immigration applications can be so stressful, but in Richard's hands you feel completely informed and well taken care of. Richard has that rare combination of being a brilliant immigration lawyer with a big hear...t, which is why we have used his firm several times and will continue to do so in the future.

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."

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.
