I want to say thank you very much to Attorney Hanus for helping me get my green card. It was a very complicated and long journey but he never gave up on us and was always on top of everything. Attorney Hanus is a very honest and straight forward person and a knowledgeable lawyer who really knows what he is doing. Because of him, my wife and I are very pleased to say that I finally got my green card after waiting for almost 6 yrs. We have been working with a different attorney before to adjust my status but with problems from my previous immigration filing, it has been difficult to find the right attorney to help us. After talking to multiple lawyers, one of them recommended consulting with Attorney Hanus because of our complicated case she believed that Attorney Hanus will be the best attorney to help us. He explained detailed steps on what we should do and he always guides us all the way. He never gives up and always has another solution to everything. My wife and I are 100% satisfied with his service and will never think twice on contacting him again when it comes to immigration services.

We’re very grateful to have come across Richard Hanus and his staff at the time we did. Fortunately we had a family friend who had used Richard’s services before and who recommended him very strongly. Having now completed our process successfully, my husband and I similarly recommend him to anyone who needs to navigate the immigration system for any reason. We came to Richard during the thick of the COVID pandemic and found ourselves under a great deal of pressure trying to figure out how to start the immigration process. The number of forms required, the government lingo and the huge quantity of paperwork required made us feel very out of our depth. Shortly after our initial consultation, Richard provided us with a concise list in plain English of everything we would need to forward to him. He welcomed and answered all our questions and no question was too silly. It really took all of the stress out of our situation, gave us an incredible sense of confidence and allowed us to enjoy our time as newlyweds first and foremost. The biggest factor was peace of mind. Richard had been through the process countless times with other couples and took all of the guesswork out of what is a very complicated process. We can’t imagine having managed without his help. It was extremely apparent from the get go that Richard had years of experience in Immigration law. His office is located right by the Homeland Security building where interviews take place and he is familiar with the staff just through the sheer number of times he’s helped people through the process. We couldn’t imagine someone having better familiarity with the requirements and appreciate so much having Richard and his law office by our side during this vulnerable time in our lives.

At the advice of several friends I came to Attorney Richard Hanus to solve my immigration problem, and to become a permanent resident green card holder in the United States of America. With no hardship, a surprisingly perfect process, and an easy to deal with staff, Attorney Hanus helped me achieve my goal and I am now holding my green card. Attorney Hanus is knowledgeable in all aspects of immigration procedures and he is quick to respond to all my questions. He is as straight forward as any lawyer you will meet, very kind and will guide and stick with you to the end of the process, until you attain your goal. Thank you Attorney Richard Hanus

Richard Hanus and his law office represented a member of our household facing a desperate student visa situation and because of his approach, Richard was able to arrive at a creative, successful solution and the foreign student we are hosting no longer is forced to leave the U.S. Richard showed constant initiative and aggressive action to resolve the case, including getting the school’s administrator to admit, in writing, her negligence in carrying out her duties and how it caused the immigration problem in the first place. He also brought our congressman on board to help support the case. Richard has a unique style, a combination of friendly, resolute and sheer determination, and it worked perfectly to help achieve a successful resolution of the case and reinstatement of the student visa legal status. Thank you very much Richard, for all of your efforts to obtain our best case scenario outcome!

I would like to say that working with Richard Hanus was one of the most easy and less stressful case I’ve ever dealt with. Having him as my lawyer, I didn’t worry so much about getting approve due to what he have shown me and fought for me in court. I had broken some laws when I was much younger and had a deportation case. Richard Hanus manage to fight for me and now after being in the U.S. for a long time I’m finally a permanent resident thank to Richard Hanus. Before Richard, I already had a lawyer, but did not feel he really care about my case and that I was not going to have a good chance to win. So I switched to Richard because I could tell he was a better lawyer. What I enjoy the most when working with Richard Hanus was how professional he is and how he doesn’t give you false hope. He’s completely honest to me and tell me steps by steps process. He genuinely wanted to help and care for my case enough and believe I could get approve when no one else believe I could and I did.

Anyone who is considering hiring an immigration lawyer should not think twice, and hire Richard Hanus as your lawyer as soon as possible. He is the best at his job and he has tons of experience in this field. He doesn’t waste any of your time. He is smart and fast in a process and his office always responded to my questions and kept their promises. I was in the U.S. as a student and knew I wanted to live here and get my green card but my solutions were not clear. I am so lucky to find Richard, he opened my window that there are possibilities through a sponsoring employer but he is also straightforward and did not get my hopes up. He told me my chances of succeeding were not certain at all. In the end, I appreciate how honest he was and am even more appreciating the results. After just over 2 years, I have a green card. I am forever grateful having Richard Hanus as my lawyer.

Do not hesitate to reach out to Richard Hanus. He has good ideas and his advice is solid. In my case I was going through divorce while waiting to remove conditions on my green card. After hiring Richard, he was always responsive and presented me with options and suggestions I would have not thought about, not only for the interview but for traveling or moving out the state. With Richard’s help I am pleased to say my filing was approved and I now hold my 10 year green card. Thank you!
