Testimonials

  • Richard is great. He handled my H1 visa and extension, when my company sponsored me. He also did my green card. On each of those occasions he asked me to provide all the documentation once and not in a piecemeal fashion; took care of all the paperwork; prepped me for and came with me to the interview, and sat in line with me like everybody else. He set my expectations high, but he met or exceeded them. And everything went exactly as he had predicted. Basically, he took the stress out of the process. And his fees are very reasonable.

    My experience with The Law Office of Richard A. Newman has been exceptional. Mr. Newman is a well-known expert in immigration law with a reputation for successful cases. He is informative and kind, and treated me like a real person, not just another file. In addition, the office staff is courteous and efficient. They are fluent in English and Japanese, and were always willing to give me time on the phone or in the office to answer my questions and address my concerns. I feel very fortunate to have chosen Mr. Newman as my lawyer to handle my H-1B visa and employment-based green card cases, and highly recommend him.
