I will highly recommend anyone to Richard Hanus and his firm. Richard is the best immigration attorney, and with success in complex cases. We were referred to him from a lawyer we respected and after other lawyers and agencies tried to solve our immigration problem. I think of one of best choices we ever made was to hire Richard. He is so professional, we felt right away he knew what he is doing, especially in our complicated case. Richard is also very honest and he understands the law and the way the system works. Just as important he understands his clients, and he will do everything in his power to help you. Thank you again Richard for everything. Best regards from Natalya and Jose.Read more

Richard Hanus made us feel very comfortable and explained the process each step of the way without making it overwhelming.  He is very down to earth, however made us feel very confident with our case. We had zero doubt that him and his team would lead us to a successful outcome. Richard kept us just a phone call away if either of us had any questions or concerns along the way.  My wife’s immigration status was in question and our goal was to get her to become a permanent resident and eventually a United States citizen.   Thankfully we became connected to Richard through a family member who assured us that he was very knowledgeable with this specific type of law.  Within just three and half months of our first meeting with Mr. Hanus, my wife became a permanent resident and received her green card.   Words do not adequately express the relief and gratitude we feel, but we know that we are sticking with his team in the years to come when my wife will be seeking USA citizenship.Read more

Richard Hanus and his firm came highly recommended by my aunt who is a retired judicial law clerk and knew about Richard through her wide network of judges and attorneys. Richard and his team made the daunting task of putting together immigration paperwork into digestible steps with helpful tools. Instead of being overwhelmed, we felt empowered to complete this important step in my husband’s change of status case. My Venezuelan husband and I first tried to tackle his change of status forms on our own, but the complexity quickly became overwhelming. When we began hearing reports of Venezuelans being deported without due process, we knew it was time to get serious about submitting his paperwork correctly. After talking with our family, we decided that hiring a lawyer was worth every penny to safeguard our future. Once Richard came into our lives, our daily mindset changed from walking around in fear to feeling safe leaving our home knowing we had his number in case anything bad happened. Everyday activities no longer had the heavy oppressive dread we had been living with. We could joyfully take our young son to the park, or go do errands without worry. Within just four months of hiring Richard Hanus, my husband’s paperwork was submitted and approved. Now that he has his permanent legal status in the U.S., we can now enthusiastically plan our future instead of our dreams being on hold. I would say that one aspect about Richard that set him apart from his peers was the day of our interview with an immigration officer. When he arrived at the Office of Homeland Security, he clearly knew almost everyone there and had a warm rapport. His collegial demeanor with everyone from security guards to directors to other lawyers eased our nerves, and the respect he received from others reassured us that we had chosen the right person to stand with us that day. Trust us when we say we understand why a family might hesitate to hire a lawyer because of the expense. For us, it meant real sacrifice. And yet, not once did we regret or second-guess our decision to work with him. We look back on moments like that with both laughter and gratitude, especially for Richard and his team’s role in our family’s story. My husband and I truly believe it was a miracle that our lives came together — me, born in small-town Illinois, and him, born in Caracas. And the day his status changed to permanent resident felt like another miracle, one made possible through the wise guidance and steadfast support of Richard and his team.Read more

Richard Hanus is among the best, one of the top lawyers in the USA. He is an honest lawyer, always does what is fair and right. Me and my family were facing a very serious problem, including threats to my life and even a robbery attempt. During this very difficult time, we were introduced to Richard through trusted family friends. Because of Richard’s guidance, we successfully received case approval, work authorization (EAD), Social Security, and finally our Green Card. Richard treated me and my family like his own family in this difficult time and guided us through out process in right way. Richard personally reviewed every document, submitted only what was necessary, and ensured that the paperwork was presented in the strongest way. We also greatly appreciate that during our waiting period for the Green Card, Richard helped us secure business franchise approval. His explanation to the company made all the difference in getting us approved. We are so thankful to Richard and his team for their support and guidance and I highly recommend him law office to anyone in need of immigration services or facing difficult legal challenges.Read more

Richard Hanus and his firm can best be described as trustworthy and exceptionally competent, especially with the support of his very friendly and personable staff. With their help, my husband’s green card case was processed smoothly, quickly, without stress and most important, successfully. Our aim was to have his residency and employment authorization paperwork sorted out in as expedited a manner as possible, without having much of our own time to devote to the labor and thoroughness involved in the process. Thankfully, with Richard’s oversight over our immigration process, we were able to focus on our life together as a newly married couple and without worrying that we made a mistake or forgot to submit an important legal requirement. We always got our questions answered in a timely manner and felt that we could trust that our case was in good hands. Following our positive experience, we will continue to use Richard’s services for all future U.S. immigration needs.Read more
