Laurence Drew Borten

My husband and I feel so lucky to have gone through our journey towards a green card with Laurence Borten. It was a long process which entailed a lot of waiting and attention to detail but Larry's calm and genuine demeanor, along with his expertise in NY immigration laws, got us there in the end. He ...was always very responsive to our email/in person inquiries and made sure we were well prepared for every step throughout the process. At no point did we feel that our uncertainties were not addressed. Having Larry at our interview was also very helpful as we did not know what the process entailed and he was able to ask questions on our behalf and make sure everything was processed as it should be. His fees are very reasonable, especially for NYC. Laurence Borten is our go to lawyer for all our immigration needs. We could not have been more well prepared and we are very grateful. Thank you. Larry!

COMPASSION matters when you have immigration needs and you don’t want to become just another file among a bunch others in a lawyer's office. Before Larry, the lawyer I had hired didn’t listen to what I wanted or cared about my case. He took my money, forced "Prosecutorial Discretion" on me, and wal...ked away. I found Larry right here on Avvo.com, consulted with him and explained exactly what I wanted. He listened very carefully and agreed to work with me. He re-opened my case and applied for "Cancellation of Removal". Larry made winning my case just as important to him as it was to me. KNOWLEDGE of the immigration laws is crucial to have a successful case. Larry is very knowledgeable about the vast and complex US immigration system. In preparation for my hearing, he closely worked with me to put together a very complete and convincing argument based on the specifics of my case for my interview in court. He meticulously prepared every evidence we needed to support my claims. I was fully prepared for my hearing the day we went to court. AFFORDABLE always sounds good when you’re looking to hire someone for legal help. With Larry, you get the best bang for your buck! You get an excellent lawyer who's available for many one-on-one sessions to build your case without the high price other lawyers will charge for the same quality of service. Not only was Larry affordable, he also even gave me a payment plan that was easy for me to meet. I hired Larry in August 2016 when I was in a very difficult immigration situation. Because of his compassion, expertise, and affordability, we were able to build a case and win it. I have received my permanent residency (green) card in the mail two days ago. I cannot thank him enough. If you’re looking for an excellent lawyer who is compassionate, knowledgeable, and affordable, you should stop wasting your time and money and just go see him.

Laurence (Larry) is very honest, experienced and detail oriented. He works on cases all by himself (no paralegal) so you get to submit a high quality package with NO RFEs and NO DELAYS. He will guide you through the entire process to the end. For such work you will usually pay tens of thousands with ...other attorneys, but not with Larry; his prices are very reasonable. I had a really complicated case but Larry prepared a good I-485 package with a well written letter, went with me to the interview and was approved on the spot. Unlike most attorneys that will completely change their attitude after you give them a deposit, Larry will be responding to your emails, texts and phone calls all the way to the very end of the process. And anytime you call, you will always speak to him directly (no paralegal) so you get the best advice. I HIGHLY recommend Larry for any immigration matters.

Trust me on this. Mr. Borten is the best lawyer you can hire around New York Metro. We applied for a marriage based green card which took us for about 9 months. If you sent an email to Mr. Borten, he would response back to you literally within 15 minutes. He will not charge you like other bubbled NYC... lawyers. Very very very very reasonable price which include (documentation review before the interview and mock interview, etc.). He is super professional but also friendly. I’m very happy that I found him through avvo.

A good friend referred Larry to me, and I'm really glad that he did. Larry helped my company, which was inexperienced with the H1B process, sponsored my H1B transfer application at ease. As an experienced one-man-army, Larry is prompt, professional, efficient, & with due deligence. Since he is able t...o conduct such a top-notch service out of his home office, over-head cost is cut which in turn lowers his fee to a very competitive range. Due to his exceptional service and reasonable price, Larry has been a part of my NY attorney list that I share with friends who asks for attorney recommendation.
