Michael DiRaimondo

Michael DiRaimondo is Of Counsel to Wildes & Weinberg, P.C. and a New York immigration lawyer with more than four decades of experience. His practice includes removal cases, green card applications, adjustment of status petitions, asylum, naturalization, immigration litigation, consular processing, habeas corpus actions, and appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals and federal circuit courts. He represents clients in complex matters involving agency decisions, detention, removal defense, and judicial review of immigration determinations.

DiRaimondo earned a J.D. from Antioch Law School. Supplemental professional records also identify undergraduate and graduate study at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. His education provided a foundation in administrative law, litigation, statutory interpretation, and written advocacy. Those skills are central to immigration matters involving agency procedures, federal court review, evidentiary standards, constitutional questions, and detailed factual records that must be organized for petitions, hearings, appeals, or habeas proceedings.

DiRaimondo previously served as a Trial Attorney for the former US Immigration and Naturalization Service and later as a Special Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. In that federal role, he handled review of administrative immigration decisions, hundreds of habeas corpus petitions, mandamus and declaratory judgment actions, and revocation of naturalization matters. He later formed his own firm and developed extensive experience in removal, asylum, appellate, and federal immigration litigation.

Michael DiRaimondo brings government and private-practice experience to immigration cases that require detailed knowledge of agency decision-making and federal court procedure. He has appeared before multiple federal circuit courts and has handled affirmative asylum matters, removal defense, administrative appeals, and judicial review. His background helps clients address complex immigration problems through careful legal analysis, procedural strategy, and experienced advocacy before agencies and courts.
