very poor handling of case

Mr. Hanus handled my father's case for his eb-2 employment visa. inconsistencies in the paper work for the application were cited by the USCIS for the denial of the I-140. These inconsistencies, mind you, could have easily been corrected before finalizing any submissions. very disappointing that thes...e little corrections should have been rectified before making any submissions in haste. It makes me wonder if Mr. Hanus even reviews these paper work before submitting them or he just lets his paralegal do all the work. Considering that the error was made on his part, Mr Hanus even wants to charge my father an exhorbitantly high legal fee for the appeal. Whats worse, when I brought up this issue with him, he threatened to drop my father's case at a very crticial time in his appeal proceess. Very unethical.. and I would not recommend to anyone

I had a very good experience with Mr. Hanus

My wife and I had a new born daughter last May. Since both of us work full time, we had her mom come from China to help us with the baby. We applied for visa extension for my mother-in-law when her visa got close to be expired but, for some strange reason, her application was denied and she was asked... to leave the country immediately. In desperation, we were looking for an immigration lawyer for help. Mr. Hanus was recommended by one of friends. We visited Mr. Hanus at her Chicago office around middle December, 2010. Within 5 minutes, we walked out of his office with happy faces and confidence. He told us that there is no need to worry about the rejection letter to my mother-in-law's visa extension and she should get her green card as early as April, 2011. We just received the green card on April 6th. What I was impressed the most by Mr. Hanus is his no-nonsense style and very efficient professional work. You send him an email for help he would return your email within 5 minutes! You do not find this kind of professionals easily nowadays. I would highly recommend Mr. Hanus for all my friends who need a trustworthy and efficient immigration lawyer.

Richard Hanus

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.

Highly professional and very efficient service

I whole heartedly recommend Richard Hanus. In fact I was referred to him by a former client who used his services several years ago and who also recommended him very highly. Richard provided timely and clear advice that was invaluable. His guidance and support throughout the process of our case wa...s exceptional.

Best Attorney Experince Of My Life

I am in the broker-dealer business and use attorneys with regularity. Richard Hanus is the best attorney experience that I have had from a cost-benefit analysis to date. My wife and I engaged Richard after first having worked with another immigration attorney. We spent 5 months with the first ...attorney assembling our application. We finally decided to stop working with the first attorney when we discovered that some advice he had provided was inaccurate. We then embarked on a search for a new attorney. My wife found several attorney options and once we had our first meeting with Richrad we decided to hire him instead of the other attorneys we had interviewed. The reason we opted for Richard versus the other attorneys was that he was knowledgable, decisive, confident and candid. He presented us with realistic expectations that he eventually proved he could meet. Richard met every deadline that he set for us and everything that he told us about the process was accurate and true. He submitted our application within two-weeks of our engagement to his office. I am happy to say that my wife successfully completed her immigration process yesterday morning. Among other things I attribute this happy result to Richard's professional competence and expertise. The whole process was completed within the time frame that Richard had provided to us. The immigration process is a long, tedious and tension filled process. Having a competent and dedicated professional on our side every step of the way made the process much easier. I would unequivocally recommend Richrad for your immigration needs.
