As I started my journey to apply for Italian dual citizenship, I found that the most daunting part to be retrieving my parental vital documents from NY state. They certainly don't make it easy for the lay person to do. Thankfully, I found Caterina through other recommendations on dual citizenship chats and her office immediately offered to schedule a zoom call with me. I appreciated how she made herself personally available and was willing to talk me through the process. I found her to be extremely knowledgeable and approachable. If you need someone to shepherd you through the process of acquiring the difficult to get NY records, I would highly recommend reaching out to Caterina.

I and my five adult children are seeking dual Italian citizenship and found Caterina Ranieri in a simple Google search of attorneys in this field. Caterina personally assessed our situation and provided new and valuable information, including questions that we need to ask whichever resource we choose. Caterina also referred us to three attorneys in Italy who are closer to the citizenship court process. Her approach to our issue was authentic and honest, whether we choose her firm or not.

Caterina Ranieri's office assisted me with locating a difficult New York marriage record that was needed for an Italian citizenship matter. The team was professional, responsive, and ultimately successful in locating a record that had proven difficult to find. They communicated clearly throughout the process, stayed within the estimated scope of the engagement, and provided helpful guidance regarding the next steps. I would not hesitate to work with them again.

       Caterina Ranieri and her great team helped us with obtaining records required for Italian Dual Citizenship from the State of NY that could only be obtained with a court order.  What seems like a simple request was more complicated than it appears on the surface.  Her legal advice and guidance through the process were extremely helpful in getting the outcome we needed.  Her team was always great with responding to questions along the process.  We feel that we were very fortunate to have found Caterina and highly recommend her services.

      Had the pleasure of working with Caterina and her colleague, Franck. They spent 30 minutes on the phone explaining exactly how I could help my daughter get her Italian citizenship. The information I had beforehand was completely convoluted and confusing. They helped me understand exactly what I needed to do, which turned out to be a lot easier than what I previously knew. They did not try to get my business, rather just gave me advice as friends. I can’t think them enough and highly recommend them to anybody who needs help in obtaining foreign citizenship.

      Caterina and her staff are very attentive, thorough, and knowledgeable.  They answered every question I had and made the entire process seamless.   Everything was timely prepared and correctly done.  We just received the amended birth certificate this week based on the court order Caterina obtained for my family.  She and her team are a pleasure to work with.  I recommend her highly.

      I reached out to Caterina for some help with obtaining a document for an Italian Dual Citizenship application.  I had been stuck in a vital records unit and the process was going nowhere. It was a simple fix, she knew the answer right away, and she sent the required document without charging a dollar.  She is a lawyer with a good conscience and a good heart. I am so grateful for her help.  I expect to be returning to actually engage her services, as the application process is daunting!

      Caterina was able to secure the documents and approvals from the state that I needed for my dual citizenship to move forward. I would never have been able to navigate the process with her expertise. I am so very grateful and would highly recommend Caterina. Working with her was a smooth and easy experience. THANK YOU!
