My practice area
Immigration
United States (US) immigration law encompasses a wide range of situations that involve a person from a foreign country coming to the United States, whether for a temporary visit or with the intent to live permanently in the U.S. (as a citizen or as a legal permanent resident).
Criminal Defense
Becoming involved with the Criminal Justice system as a target, suspect or defendant often signals a nightmare for most people and for most, can be very frightening and unnerving. Those being investigated or who are charged for a criminal offense are often unsure of what course of action to pursue.
Employment Law
If you believe that your employer has failed to pay you overtime payments for hours worked over 40 hours during a work week or if the amount paid results in you earning less than the federally mandated minimum wages. Richard William may be able to help you recover what is owed to you.
