Ralph F. Antonioli is a licensed attorney by the Washington, D.C. Bar, fluent in five languages, and a dedicated advocate in the field of immigration in the United States. His journey is marked by unwavering determination and a proactive attitude, transforming challenges into opportunities and ambition into achievements. Arriving in the United States from Paraguay in 2004 with determination and a vision, Ralph pursued his legal career with complete focus, earning his L.L.M. in Law in 2008 from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
After a memorable experience at Sidley Austin, among other major American law firms, Ralph found his true calling in immigration law. In 2010, his resilience was tested when he suffered the rupture of multiple brain aneurysms, with less than a 1% chance of survival. Defying all medical expectations, he recovered, relearned to walk and speak, and against all odds, passed the bar exam, obtaining admission to practice law in Washington, D.C.
With nearly 30 years of experience in the profession and two decades dedicated to business immigration, Ralph is a founding partner of Antonioli Global Law Firm. This recognized firm reflects his unmatched commitment to his clients. Ralph has extensive experience in various types of visas, including:
• Visas for Athletes, Artists, Performers, and their Support Teams
• Visas for Multinational Workers and Professionals
• Employment-based Green Cards
• Visas for Individuals with Extraordinary Abilities – EB Visas
As an immigrant, Ralph deeply understands the needs and urgencies many face when seeking new beginnings. He knows that each immigrant’s journey is unique and often filled with uncertainties and challenges, which is why his dedication to each case is profound and aimed at positively transforming the lives of individuals and their businesses.
His contributions to American law are notable, having been recognized with various honors, including the World Humanitarian Award from Worldwide in July 2023, the Top Lawyer Award from Marquis Who’s Who Top Professionals of the Year (2023), and an honor from Marquis Who’s Who in America in May 2023 for his significant dedication to the field of law.
