Led by founding partners Ricky Palladino, Alex Isbell, and Chris Casazza, and their more than 45 years of combined immigration experience, the firm stands as a testament to unwavering commitment and proficiency in the immigration legal field.
The firm’s status as an industry leader was also recently bolstered by the addition of Caitlin Costello and Natalia Ruggiero as partners. PIC also proudly boasts the distinction of being one of only two immigration firms in Philadelphia with a former immigration judge, Hon. Charles Honeyman (ret.), as a resident attorney.

preparing and filing asylum applications, assisting companies in maintaining and developing talented work forces, and, when all other options have been exhausted, seeking to hold federal agencies accountable to laws and regulations in federal court.
Beyond its legal practice, PIC is deeply committed to community stewardship. The attorneys and staff actively engage in initiatives aimed at effecting positive change, serving as board members for community-justice nonprofits and sharing their expertise through educational programs conducted by bar associations. The firm also sponsors an annual scholarship for a college-bound graduating senior
who is an immigrant or the child of immigrants at Furness High School to provide for the cost of books during the winner’s first year of college.
PIC also believes that its leadership role in the community goes beyond providing immigration legal advice and extends to finding justice for the immigrant communities it serves. When PIC clients encounter other legal challenges, PIC attorneys can facilitate connections with other top-rated law firms in areas such as personal injury, workers’ compensation, and medical malpractice, ensuring its clients receive comprehensive representation in all areas of their lives.
