I had an excellent experience working with my immigration attorney Richard and his paralegal Linda on my parents’ green card applications. From start to finish, the process was handled with professionalism, efficiency, and clear communication.
I would especially like to recognize the paralegal Linda, who was exceptionally detail-oriented, patient, and responsive. She is fluent in both Chinese and English, which made communication incredibly smooth and reassuring. She took the time to thoroughly explain each step, document, and requirement, always ensuring that I fully understood the process. Her careful guidance and attention to detail made what could have been a stressful experience much more manageable.
I truly appreciate the dedication and professionalism of this team and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking reliable support for family-based immigration matters.

Had an excellent experience with Herman Legal Group for our green card process. From start to finish, the team was professional, responsive, and supportive. The paralegal we got to work with, Waed, was absolutely amazing! She was always available to answer our questions and guided us through every step of the paperwork with so much patience and kindness.

Richard, our attorney, was also great — he provided clear guidance throughout the process and even accompanied us to our interview, where his support really made a difference.

Overall, we’re very grateful for the firm’s help and highly recommend them to anyone looking for knowledgeable, professional, and caring immigration lawyers.

I highly recommend Herman Legal Group for their assistance with my non-immigrant visa during the consular interview (details of the visa are intentionally withheld).

The interview process is typically very fast-paced, leaving only a few minutes to explain your situation. I did my best to present my case to the visa officer, but it was clear she was having difficulty understanding the full context — though not due to any language barrier on my part.

Ultimately, I presented the cover letter prepared by Herman Legal Group, and it made the difference. The visa officer was persuaded.

In situations like this, it’s essential to have someone who thoroughly understands immigration law — rather than trying to explain complex legal matters yourself during a short interview.

Outstanding immigration consul from Richard Herman. Was able to un-snag a complicated immigrant visa process and provide expert advice on required documents and interview prep. Also maximized use of time to the best effect. If I knew better when I started the process I would have hired him from the outset. Thank you!

We booked Richard Herman for a one hour video consultation concerning my wife's Greencard which was not produced 6 months after she entered the USA on an immigrant visa. After taking time to understand our situation, Richard was very straight and to the point about what our options were.

We followed his advice regarding who to try and contact at our Senator's Office, and the issue took about 4 days to get resolved (USCIS admitted an error on their end) and after about 2 weeks the missing Greencard was produced and mailed, and we now have it.

I can definitely recommend their services!

I will not hesitate to recommend him to anyone going through some immigration or family issues. You feel confident from day one and the end results are always very positive. Thank you Mr Herman for being there for me when I really needed you and for helping me through to achieve what I hired you for. Kudos to you. Rating you 5 stars isn’t enough.

Also, it was very easy to schedule my session online and pay by card - seamless experience from beginning to end. I look forward to hiring his firm again for future inquiries! Thank you Richard.

I scheduled an online meeting with Richard Herman for advice on receiving a legal exemption for the Covid-19 injection for a relative. I thought the case was hopeless but Richard came up with practical plan that I had not come across after much research. I would recommend anyone interested in a similar exemption contact Richard immediately even if you think you know all there is to know. You really need an expert's advice in this area and Richard is an incredible resource. He was also generous with his time and very understanding.

Richard is the best lawyer I've dealt with, and I had plenty of attorneys to work with during my course of immigration. Unlike most who merely follow the books, he actually thinks strategy and is willing to plan out various scenarios with you, considering that immigration is not just applications and documents, but planning your next life decisions. He lived oversees, he understands immigrants and appreciates then. In fact, a lot of staff members at the firm are immigrants, which tells you about Richard's commitment. Highly recommend!
