      Mr Ravani is an Excellent attorney, very dedicated and professional.

      Posted by

      I hired Mr. Ravani several months ago for my Naturalization case. He handled my case very speedy, inexpensive and efficient. This is one of the best experience I ever had with an attorney. He is very professional, attentive, available and extremely knowledgeable. My case went very smooth forward and I received a very quick and positive result.

      Excellent attorney

      Posted by

      Simply trust him. Minor obstacles will always happen but he is capable of handling it. He is very responsive and quick. He thinks and cares about your file more than you do!

      An attorney that personally answers your questions and file your case

      Posted by

      He is an excellent attorney that will be in contact with you in person. Answers to inquiries are quick and to the point. He will discuss the risks and benefits of investment in different projects. I did not experience any delay in my immigration process. He can be forward but this only helps you to save time and sometimes money.

      I was an EB-5 client of Mr. Ravani. I would not even try any other lawyer but Mr. Ravani for EB-5. He proved to be the most honest, direct, and truthful lawyer that I experienced. There are a lot of rumors and talks in the EB-5 area; Mr. Ravani was the most professional, knowledgeable, and straightforward of all the lawyers that I talked with. I would not do EB-5 with anyone but him.

      Mr. Ravani's work is excellent and high integrity

      Posted by

      Mr. Ravani handled our investment immigration case. We had never experienced someone with this high level of integrity and dedication. He completed our case extremly fast and exceeded our expectations. I have worked with a lot of lawyers in my business, Mr. Ravani has been the best of them all.
