Professional, knowledgeable, compassionate and funny immigration lawyer!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with Tasoff and Tasoff to secure a marriage green card. Richard and his paralegal, Cinay, were both extremely knowledge about the application process and always took time to fully answer our many questions. Richard also offers a free first-time cons...ultation and was very understanding in setting up legal fee payment. Everything with our application was handled smoothly, professionally, with compassion, and Richard was an assertive advocate for us during the interview with USCIS. He came well prepared to address specific details from our case with the USCIS officer and made us feel supported and reassured during this understandably stressful process. We'd definitely return to this firm for any immigration issues in the future and highly recommend his firm for anyone looking for a great immigration lawyer!

Extremely Professional & Patient

I just finished a phone call consultation with Richard and felt much more at ease following the conversation. He goes through and explains things very thoroughly, takes time to ask detailed questions and helps. Keep the conversation on task. Just consulting with him, made me feel reassured, and I wou...ld recommend that at the very least you should consult with Richard before pursuing any case or matter. I thank you Richard for your time and expertise.

A very pleasant experience!

I had the most pleasant experience with Richard! He is a kind and informative man and genuinely cares about his clients. If you’re looking for a good lawyer who knows what he’s doing, he’s your guy! Thanks for everything.

Helpful

He didn't know the exact details about my case. But he was willing to search about it and give me an informed opinion.

Marriage Based Green Card Application

My husband and I went to Richard to help use submit the Marriage Based Green Card Application. I cannot recommend Richard and his team enough. They were highly efficient, communicative and made the process smooth for us (because it is a tough process). He helped us assemble all our paperwork and tal...ked us through every possible scenario and all the steps. Within 8 months of us submitting our paperwork we received the green card in the mail with the interview waived. I do believe that it was the diligent and thorough work done by the Tasoff and Tasoff office that helped us with our journey. Thank you so much to Richard and Cinay!

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.
