Part 1: CUTV News Radio to Highlight Immigration Attorney Michael P. DiRaimondo
New York, NY -- Mr. DiRaimondo is senior partner in the immigration law firm DiRaimondo and Masi.
It’s not just Raimondo’s knowledge that draws in clients though--it’s his genuine concern for people, and a desire to protect families and keep them together. His ethics and empathy shine through, and he’s proud to have new citizens call him their life saving angel. He says, when you win a case or get someone asylum, you make a friend for life.
In his CUTV Radio shows, Mr. DiRaimondo is going to teach us a lot about immigration - the facts, the laws, and the very valid reasons that an immigrant can quality for asylum. He is also going to dispel many myths about immigrants - such as the number of registered/unregistered persons living in the United States, the countries of origin most immigrants come from, work visas and the many vital industries immigrants keep humming. We’ll also learn what an I-601 A Waiver is, the number of green cards that are obtained or lost each year, and about what the US Citizenship and Immigration Services Judges do. Listeners may discover the realities of immigration are vastly different from the things they read in media, or our current political administration puts forth! Mr. DiRaimondo is going to remind Americans that we are essentially all immigrants, that immigrants are really good and solid people, and that many immigrants pay taxes.

Close Up Radio Spotlights Vito Guarino of The MPM Group
Marlton, NJ – Vito Guarino is the Chief Operating Officer of the MPM Group which is a multi-faceted private investigation firm that has worldwide capabilities. Touted by Vito as a “one stop shop,” they handle all types of investigations from criminal defense, fraud cases, divorce, bankruptcy and many others. Additional services include complex litigation support, subject experts, cyber and digital forensics, paralegal services as well as prison and inmate advocacy services. While they work with attorneys and other legal staff, they are NOT a law firm, nor do they offer legal advice.
“Because what I do is so diverse, I enjoy it,” asserts Vito. “Every case is different. Every client is different. My goal is to give them the best defense possible. Sometimes, it’s better to instruct the client to plead guilty.”
For thirty-one years, Vito worked for the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in a variety of assignments, many of which were undercover operations and then transitioned to senior DOJ management at the highest level.
“I worked in Miami for ten years during the Miami Vice Era,” explains Vito. “I worked mainly undercover. They placed me in an undercover airplane business. I drove the Mercedes – the hair in the wind, meeting the high-level Colombian drug traffickers.”
“If you are ever confronted with a situation where you would need private investigation, reach out to The MPM Group,” concludes Vito. “Some situations aren’t as dire as they seem. Seek out a good attorney and contact the MPM Group and we will provide the best defense possible. Don’t lose hope!”

Law Offices of Cory DeLellis
Close Up Radio Spotlights the Law Offices of Cory DeLellis
San Diego, CA – Cory DeLellis is an attorney that practices in Social Security Disability law in Southern California, specifically the San Diego area.
“Social Security Disability is a permanent benefit that you can get through the Social Security Administration,” explains Cory. “You can receive it, if you cannot work for at least a year. It’s almost like getting full retirement benefits, at an earlier age. Once you do reach retirement age, it converts to a regular Social Security benefit. It also can be received for both physical and mental disabilities.”
However, there are many obstacles in being able to receive Social Security Disability benefits.
Generally, it takes one-and-a-half to three years to finally be able to resolve a claim, and most of the time, it goes before a judge. Where Cory’s law firm comes in is usually during the reconsideration/appeal level and the hearing level. As the process is often bureaucratic with much red tape, the purpose of Cory’s firm is to help claimants recover benefits as quickly as possible.
“It’s a confusing system for a lot of people,” observes Cory. “A lot of people don’t realize that they can get disability through Social Security. They already pay into it and should be available if and when they need it.”
Cory worked in the legal field for as long as she can remember. “I practically grew up in my father’s law firm as a law clerk helping him out,” she recalls. Her father’s law firm specialized in Social Security Disability Benefits as well as Worker’s Compensation. She liked what her father did, especially in how he helped others.
