This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent Immigration Attorney

I took a family member's immigration case that took 7 years to him and he was able to prepare a response in less than three weeks and win the case in about a month time. He only charged us nominal fee and was respectfull and easily available to answer our concerns. He definitely is knowledgeable and ...compassionate.

Excellent attorney

Richard knows about immigration law quite a bit, he is fast to respond and will find for you options to stay in the US that you thought did not exist. I highly recommend him.

Understands Client Situation and Helpful!

I hired Richard when I was at Rochester. He understood my complex situation and was helpful and supportive throughout the process. I would recommend him for immigration matters.

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.
