Herman Legal Group, helped my church with the application of a religious visa for our new pastor. The process was very smooth. Within 3 weeks of submitting, the application was approved. The whole legal team was very professional, knowledgeable and helpful. I recommend them to anyone who seeks legal representation in immigration matters.
We had a great experience with Herman Legal Group, for our marriage-based green card. From our very first consultation, Richard, the lead attorney, gave us clear guidance and hope. His professionalism and honesty helped us feel confident throughout the process. The entire team was kind and efficient, we received our green card in just 8 months. A special thank you to our paralegal, Sam, who was always responsive and supportive, patiently answering our questions. We are truly grateful for their help and highly recommend them to anyone going through the immigration process.
H.L.G is simply the best.
We've been treated with love and respect. We all know how stressful immigration can be, but rest assured, with HLG, you're in good hands.

Herman legal group is a best law office to help immigrants get the service they needed. I deeply appreciate what they deed for me and speeding up my case.
We are beyond grateful for the support we received from the Herman Legal Group ( attorney Richard, Frank, and the whole staff). From the very beginning, they treated our case with urgency, care, and compassion. Every question was answered quickly, every concern was met with patience, and every step forward felt like someone was truly advocating for our family. They didn’t just get us results — they gave us peace of mind during a difficult time. We can’t thank them enough.
I had an excellent experience with Herman Legal Group, particularly with Mr. Frank Matejka. His professionalism, clear guidance, and responsiveness made the entire immigration process smooth and stress-free. I truly appreciate the quality of service and highly recommend them.
The Herman legal group handled our case very professionally and Richard was a pleasure to work with. He handled all of our questions even if we didn't quite keep it in our allocated time slots. USCIS was very impressed with everything they submitted and our interview was a breeze.
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!
It was really right to have hire the services of the firm. And I appreciate the way papers were done and even after how Richard intervened at times. Like family.
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 have had the privilege of assisting immigrants with translation for their legal needs for over 30 years. Throughout this time, I have worked with numerous legal professionals, but the service provided by Herman Legal Group truly stands out. Their professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail have exceeded all my expectations. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of top-tier legal representation. They are a trusted partner in navigating complex legal processes.

I had my initial consultation with Richard Herman himself and I'm very satisfied with the service provided. Richard was very clear and kind, he answered all of my questions and provided me with many resources to consult afterwards in case I wanted to dive deeper into any of the topics we discussed. 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!
