Smart and Professionally Dedicated Lawyer

Sharlene Richards had represented us during our immigration proceedings. Our immigration case required some additional processes/steps and a waiver was needed to get an approval. She handled the COVID-19 pandemic and the immigration court closings very professionally and successfully. We have got ev...erything we needed and asked for at the end of our immigration court proceedings. She is very knowledgeable, smart, hardworking, detailed oriented, well organized and highly professional. Sharlene is a very responsive lawyer. She was always available via e-mail and phone, answered all the questions in details via voice and e-mail, and during our meetings. Whenever I had a question or needed a clearance about something regarding our case, all I had to do was call or e-mail her and she would always put me at ease. She is very trustworthy and keeps her words. She does not stretch the words to left and right, and does not make empty promises. She sees what is on the horizon and always well prepared for it. What can be better than when you can trust your attorney and know that she looks after your best interest? Immigration is a serious business and so much power is given to the Immigration Judges by the law. Each case has its own complexity and uniqueness/non-uniqueness. Therefore, it has to be taken seriously and handled professionally. Nobody wants to count sheep and goats every night and have sleepless nights. At the end, we will have a boarding pass to depart because of a wrong and/or time wasting legal service or a permanent resident card and followed by the citizenship to achieve our dreams because of a right and professionally dedicated legal service and representation. If there is a solution for your immigration case, Sharlene will find it very quickly and responsibly, and will tell you right away. Her availability, patience, diligence, attention to detail, and knowledge sets her apart from many other lawyers. I would strongly recommend Sharlene Richards Law Firm and its services for anyone who needs help in immigration process. Please don’t make your final decision without contacting Sharlene Richards Law Firm and talking to her. You case will be in the good hands Dr. Zafer, PhD

Successfully obtained USA Citizenship

Sharlene is not only a great lawyer but also a great person! She helped me with filing paperwork for permanent residency, followed by citizenship years later. She is very knowledgeable and supportive throughout the process.
