What a lawyer is for

My procedure should have been cut & dried but I wanted a lawyer because there was too much at stake. And of course there were problems. That's when the help came through. Mr Wilner held our hands through the scary parts and put in the effort needed to get us back on track and push us through succe...ssfully. The quality of the engagement showed exactly when it was needed.

My case got denied with another lawyer, and my recommended me Richard. He and His team is very professional, he won't promise a good result but he will get you a good one. Highly recommended if you need legit immigration advice.

I met with many lawyers but what I find about Richard and Kelly is different than other they are honest friendly respond any time any questions they have strong experience in the Immigration Law Firm they not promise you with result but they get good result, I paid my fees 100% up front and they show... me care of my case until the end until I get good result. I said I should give 10 min from my time to wright my feedback to show honest profession people

"As a criminal defense lawyer, I represent many clients who are not citizens. The immigration consequences they face are severe – quite often worse than what they face in the criminal courts. I have always relied on Richard to provide me guidance when advising my clients, and he is the only immigration attorney to whom I have ever referred my clients. Richard has an excellent reputation in the legal community, and you should speak with him before selecting an immigration attorney."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
