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

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.

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.

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.
