Laurence Drew Borten

Choosing a knowledgeable and experienced immigration attorney may be a difficult task. After conducting an extensive investigation on my behalf, a friend discovered the Law Office of Laurence Borten. It's been a long road, but his knowledge and hard work have paid off. Above all, his legal firm's cos...ts are quite fair, and I will undoubtedly suggest and retain her services for future immigration concerns. Thank you for helping me with this stressful battle. For any of my fellow French speakers who want to hire Mr. Borten as their lawyer, he will always make sure to accommodate you with an interpreter if you don't have one to help you feel comfortable during your journey.

I needed to apply for spouse based US immigration and after a one time consultation I and my wife hired him in August 2017. What stood out was his going-out-of-the-way attitude for clients, sound knowledge in the subject matter (there were things which we could not have even considered or thought abo...ut which Larry pointed) and of coarse his availability over both phone and email. I would say with recent long delays in US immigration, it took us quite a long time as well. There were things like DS5535 administrative processing which were very new and recent - there were no trends or past cases to compare with. It was a stressful time but Larry went out of the way and took care of such issues and helped with unexpectedly required documentation. I was expecting that anything after the interview would be my headache and if I'd need his support I would need to hire him again. But he was there right till the end - 1 year and 4 months after my interview during which he helped prepare additional documents, guided on the process, set expectations and answered any of our concerns - WITHOUT any additional charge. For all these reasons, I highly recommend him. He actually cares about his clients and he will charge only what's reasonable and justified. If you panic or are stressed out, there will be no delay in reaching him. He is very responsive over both email and phone.

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 worked with us for over two years on an immigration matter. We were ultimately successful, largely due to his attention to detail, preparation, and management of the complex requirements of our multiple visa applications. Along the way, Laurence was consistently the most communicative attorn...ey I've ever worked with. He took care and time to explain to us what to expect ahead of each step. He came up with mitigating strategies when I screwed up my own steps (which happened more than once). He's both a consummate professional and a caring person. We enthusiastically recommend Laurence.

Larry was a great help in navigating the labyrinth of immigration. My wife and I hired him to help process our application for adjustment of status as well as represent us during our interview. He was very generous with his time and always willing to meet with us. He's pretty well organized and helpe...d us keep track of important dates etc. More importantly he seemed to genuinely care about our case. Thanks for your help Larry!
