Attention to detail and very knowledgeable

I have worked with Mr Green for almost 15+ years. He is very knowledgeable and knows the intricacies of the immigration system. His advice has alway been spot on and his reputation in the immigration circles is stellar!! He is very genuine and expect to receive very honest answers regarding your cas...e that will help you prepare. I am grateful for all the advice you have given me over the years.

Terrific Immigration lawyer

One of my immigration lawyers referred Richard, so I called him right away. What I really liked was he gave to the point, straight forward, easy to understand answers to my questions revolving about H1B/EAD/GC. I can see that he enjoys helping people and is a very likable personality as he seemed ver...y jovial. I would say if you have immigration-related questions do give him a call, he has answers to your questions. Good luck with immigration!

Smart, honest, would want to work with him again.

Mr. Green helped with a US citizenship application. He was well versed in the law, and had obviously handled many similar cases in the past. He took the time to explain details of the process and discuss concerns. He was very responsive and answered each question right away. He returned emails and... phone calls promptly. His instructions were clear and to the point which made it easy to follow them. I was impressed that he knew how best to respond to an apparent error on the part of the government agent in charge of the case. He did what he promised and accomplished the goal.

Very professional lawyer

He is very professional and knowledgeable, competent and good listener. A friendly environment and staff it's always present. I would recommend Richard who is considering law-immigration professional services.

  • 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.
