Richard Hanus is an extremely knowledgeable and professional Immigration attorney. He represented me in my transition from permanent resident to U.S. citizen. Richard and his staff put me at ease through the entire process and responded to my questions and concerns diligently. I would recommend Richa...rd's services to anyone requiring an Immigration attorney,

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 reached out to attorney Richard Hanus after receiving a denial in my adjustment of status case that would have resulted in a PERMANENT BAR to immigrating to the United States as a permanent resident... I had parted ways with an attorney with whom I was dissatisfied, and only fourteen calender days ...left to my appeal deadline. I was in DIRE NEED for a GREAT ATTORNEY. Thankfully, I stumbled upon an article about Mr. Hanus winning a case for a client at the 7th circuit court of appeal, after several denials, and many years of heavy litigation, for a similar charge. I called him right away... He gave me several avenues available to me, given the facts of my case, and suggested one he felt would have the best outcome. He proceeded to build an air tight defense with documentary evidence on my behalf, and then submitted the timely appeal to USCIS. Unfortunately, after a six month wait, my appeal was denied. Attorney Richard Hanus presented all the avenues available for me to pursue further action. As always, he suggested one he felt would have the best outcome for me, and then aggressively fought on my behalf. Meanwhile, my spouse landed a great job across the country, an opportunity we could not afford to miss. Unfortunately, moving from one jurisdiction to another is considered the worst possible thing to do when one has a pending adjustment of status case. At least this was the general sentiment among my immigrant friends in Chicago. Attorney Richard Hanus advised us to move, he urged me not to put my life on hold even in the face of the great uncertainty I was feeling due to my case. We moved, my spouse and I thought we were truly done for... Two weeks after making the possible worst decision for any individual with a pending case, moving jurisdictions, attorney Richard Hanus convinced USCIS to reverse the denial on my case. I received a letter to appear at a finger print appointment in Chicago in under a week. Attorney Richard Hanus contacted USCIS and had them re-issue a new order for me to appear at a location nearby my new residence, a very big problem averted in a timely manner. A day after my finger print appointment, I received a letter instructing my spouse and I to appear for a second interview. In a move to save us money, attorney Richard Hanus prepared us for the appointment via email and phone. Generally, it costs a fortune to hire a new attorney and/or having one travel across the country to represent a client at a hearing in person. Attorney Richard Hanus was confident that we would have a positive experience at the second interview appointment... The interview went well, and six weeks after the cross country move, I received a case update from DHS that my case was approved. I AM A NEWLY MINTED PERMANENT RESIDENT!!! Like I said at the beginning; there are lawyers, and then, there are GREAT LAWYERS. Attorney Richard Hanus is a GREAT LAWYER. At every turn along my journey to becoming a permanent resident, he presented well thought out possible avenues for further action, and specifically led me down the one he felt was best, given the facts of my case. He was always responsive and sensitive to the various anxiety provoking scenarios I encountered throughout the entire process. If you need legal help regarding an immigration case, please retain the services of attorney Richard Hanus. You will have a representative fighting for you at every turn, and making sure that all the possible avenues to reaching your desired goal are fully explored.

My brother passed away in 2011 and his wife of 35 years did not have legal residency. During their marriage my brother and his wife had attempted to gain legal residency for her multiple times. We contacted and retained Mr. Hanus based on his credentials, location, web video and initial consult.... Throughout the application process Mr. Hanus was professional and knowledgeable. His assistance was invaluable in successfully resolving my sister-in-law's thirty five year old residency problems which in turn eased the resolution of her estate and financial problems. He treated us with due courtesy and always promptly answered our questions and concerns. My sister-in-law's final interview was quick and uneventful because of Mr. Hanus's preparation and attention to detail.

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.
