We switched law firms after an unfavorable response from the Roman courts in our first attempt to gain Italian citizenship. There was a low probability of success with an appeal, however we decided to take the chance. The difference between our old law firm and Aprigliano was night and day. Working with Riccardo Ghione, we immediately began receiving regular, informative communications regarding information on our case, what they needed from us, and any information coming from the courts that could impact our appeal. Riccardo was also quick to respond to our questions and comments via e-mail, and even met with me one-on-one to talk through the particulars of a legal event that impacted our case. We quickly realized that we did not need to follow-up with Riccardo, he would contact us immediately with the information we needed to know. I cannot tell you how relieving that was to know we had a capable, reliable lawyer working on our behalf. While there were some hurdles to overcome legally, Aprigliano walked us through the process, provided support the entire way, and gave us good advice throughout. In a wild turn of events, after a Supreme Court decision, our case for Italian citizenship was approved after almost 7 years, 2 of which we spent with Aprigliano working with Riccardo. Now we are working on the final steps to register, get our documents, and get an Italian passport, which Aprigliano is also helping us to work through. I’m an American citizen still residing in the US and if you’re reading this, considering pursuing Italian citizenship and hiring a lawyer to do so, I absolutely recommend Aprigliano Law Firm.

I contacted Aprigliano in June of 2025 and my sister and I paid the full fee. It took ~8 months to get all the required documentation. Our petition was filed with the Italian court on 4/29/26 and we got a positive judgement on 9/21/26, less than 5 months. We are in the final steps now to get our Italian passports. Aprigliano was fast and courteous, communicated in fluent English and showed real savvy picking which grandparent to use as our ancestor of record. They recommended a ‘Certificate of Non-Existence’ from the US govt. to prove our chosen ancestor never naturalized. That and choosing the ‘best’ ancestor contributed to our rapid success. They are highly recommended. If we had gone the less expensive Consulate route we would have likely failed, given the gotcha’s Aprigliano identified. On our own, we would never have known the pitfalls. Well worth the cost. Thank you Aprigliano.

I can’t recommend The Aprigliano Law Firm highly enough. They guided me through the confusing process of obtaining Italian citizenship through the courts, and even though the law changed the eligibility criteria several times while my case was underway, we were successful. Hiring an attorney you’ve never met, in a country whose language you don’t speak, can feel like a leap of faith. Aprigliano made that concern a non-issue. Everyone I dealt with communicated clearly in English, was knowledgeable and responsive, and gave me complete confidence that they understood the right and most effective way to handle my case. If you’re pursuing Italian citizenship by judicial route, I’d recommend them without hesitation.

A knowledgeable, professional, and highly competent law firm. I worked in particular with Sara, who proved to be an invaluable and essential resource in achieving our desired outcome. Despite the challenges, she never became discouraged and was always proactive and focused. I highly recommend them!

I had a wonderful experience working with the team at the Aprigliano Law Firm to obtain my Italian dual citizenship for me and my siblings! Throughout the entire process, the support and guidance we received was exceptional. The team was always quick to respond, thorough with their answers, and made us feel confident every step of the way. I would also like to give a shoutout to Nicole who was our assigned citizenship support specialist. She regularly checked in with us and always made sure we were never left wondering about the status of our case. If you are still unsure about moving forward because of the new law changes, I highly recommend taking the time to do the free assessment and meeting with the team. I am happy that we did!
