Richard Hanus

This attorney does not mince words and that is what I like about him. He tells you like it is and does not give you false hope or make empty promises. When I first met him, he was upfront and told me that the only path to my legalization is getting married to a US Citizen. Once my long-term boyfri...end and I got married, we sought him out again and he worked on our case from start to finish. He filed my paperwork in record time and kept in touch with us throughout the entire process. When I got worried that it was taking too long for my interview to be scheduled, he took the time to call immigration and kept me informed. He was very responsive and I felt like he truly cared about my case. Once our interview date was set, he did an excellent job preparing us for the interview and when the day came- we felt at ease. Everything went smoothly and I had my green card in the mail within a week! For the speed, accuracy and peace of mind that we had- he is worth every penny.

I have known Mr. Hanus for over 10 years. I have used his services for my H1-B, my permanent residence, and finally for my citizenship application. Throughout the years I have recommended many friends to him and heard nothing but praise about his professionalism. My last interaction with him was fo...r my citizenship application. He asked for one flat fee for his service until I receive my citizenship. During the process, I have moved out of the state of Illinois, and my case was assigned to the Detroit office. Mr. Hanus continued to follow up regardless of where my case was. He kept his promise of sticking with me until the end. The process got delayed, I called him once to inquire about what to do regarding the delay and found that he was way ahead of me and already filed an official request for an update about my case. He has sent many correspondence to the state and the local agent handling my case. I was always updated and assured by him personally. I was never charged for the extra work he had to do to get my case resolved. He was very proactive throughout the whole process. I sincerely believe that without his services and expertise I would still be struggling to get my citizenship. Not only would I recommend Mr. Hanus to anyone seeking legal advice, I think the pleasure of knowing honest and courteous people like him is enough.

My wife and I recently looked to Richard Hanus for some advice and assistance with an immigration case. From the first time we entered the office, we were treated with a great deal of respect. His secretary/assistant was always willing to field our questions by phone at any time, and very willing t...o seek Mr. Hanus immediately if she was unable to handle our questions. Mr. Hanus met with us initially to discuss our case, and was the ultimate professional. He is extremely knowledgeable about legal situations, but more importantly he was very honest with us and explained everything in great detail about our case to be sure that we were comfortable and did not have any questions. After leaving his office after our consultation, my wife and I felt very comfortable having Mr. Hanus represent us. In a lawyer, we were looking for someone who was very organized, very knowledgeable, very honest and always available to assist us. With Mr. Hanus, we had someone who was available to answer any and all questions via email, phone or personal meeting at any time of the day. He is very honest and organized, and gained our trust in a very short time with his work ethic, honesty and personality. We would strongly recommend Mr. Hanus for anyone who is seeking legal assistance with any immigration issue. Mr. Hanus and his staff will go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and they will treat you with respect and will always be available for you. He is very knowledgeable, respectful and honest. His professionalism makes you very confident that your case will go very smoothly. That is what we were looking for in an attorney, and we are very pleased with our decision.

Richard and his team were really responsive to us and helped us through this process with ease. My wife was an Indian citizen and I am an american citizen and they provided us with a 'worry-free' process throughout the various checkpoints through attaining a marriage visa. No constant following up on... our part, we received correspondence from the office via mail and phone as needed. I highly recommend Richard and his team!

I visited Mr. Hanus’s office for a consult about my immigration case, and my first impression was that Mr. Hanus has a poor knowledge about the area of student visas and F1 status. I paid a fee for a lawyer who stated that he manages immigration matters; but he absolutely did not know how to manage m...atters in this area. I remembered he got an immigration book and started looking for answers. That situation did not upset me. I was upset for his unethical, sarcastic and unfriendly remarks about my case. Yes, I felt that Mr. Hanus was sarcastic about my case. I paid to look for answers and advices about my immigration status, but I was disappointed about Mr. Hanus unethical behavior. He is a lawyer who does not care for his clients.
