Laurence F Johnson

The worst communication I have ever encountered, iv been his client for 3years and getting him to answer my emails or return my calls is impossible. I have to be on his a** in order for him to do what I paid him for. My wife's I130 was approved in September 2015 by November 2015 we had the ds260 pack...et complete and ready for immigration to review it. In mid March I still had not gotten an answer from uscis so I called Mr. Johnsons office turns out they never sent my wife's packet in, it just sat in a drawer for over 4 months and to top it of they lost some of the material in the packet. I had to update the info in the packet 2015 taxes, pictures ect, which cost me time and money because some of the things I had to have delivered from South America. Today is 4/11/2016 and we finished updating the packet info last week, Iv been calling and emailing him since last Friday to see if they delivered the ds260 packet yet with no answer I finally got in touch with him today and asked him. His response was "I don't " know" I'm still waiting for him to get back to me. He doesn't care about his clients. Save yourself the headache go somewhere els. I regret every Pennie I spent on this guy($2,500+)

I hired Mr. Johnson in 2013 for my first green card when I was undocumented. Few months later, without any hassle, I got my first green card. Then, 2 years later I hired him again to get my permanent green card. Was a smooth process again. During the process, I need his help when I was out of the co...untry and had difficulties to come back. He assisted me right away and sorted things out. An excellent lawyer with an infinite knowledge about everything regarding Immigration.

I am writing to praise/ commend/ recommend MR Laurence Johnson he helped me immensely over a year ago to obtain a visa for a friend of mine I found him to be very thorough , careful and thoughtful in his approach to this situation his advice was correct and the problem was resolved to my satisf...action it was not a long protracted struggle-- I never felt that I was being strung along or set up for heavy attorney fees-- all fees were discussed ahead of time with a preliminary written estimate if I remember correctly mr Johnson was invariably cordial, respectful, immediately available---- seemed to be a very hard working guy-- works weekends- - always seems to be in the office early in the mornings-- and has the common touch - I never felt deprecated in his office= all bills were immediately acknowledged with written receipt. I would recommend unequivocally/

Excellent immigration attorney. Fun to talk with, there is a geeky edge to him, but that only lights things up. He will listen to you, analyze your situation and will try to give you the best advise based on his knowledge and experience. He will not pretend that he has some special insider connection...s (even though he was in practice for nearly 40 years and surely knows people around) , he will lay it out to you as is and do so in witty way: you can tell this is a lawyer with a superior intelligence and clear vision of totality of circumstances and forces at play. I heard no nonsense from this lawyer, he wasn't trying to sell himself up , certainly wasn't desperate to win a client but took my case when I insisted. I had a bad experience with attorney hired prior to him whose staff made errors on my petition (causing repeated RFE's) and and who since abandoned my case (when I brought the errors to their attention and asked to correct those). For very modest fee he wrote a retainer agreement and handled all the paperwork on the spot as I was sitting there to sign it. I mean he not only printed a retainer, he actually drafted the letters to USCIS , had it revised by his staff several times until it was to his satisfaction , had me review and sign it and then sealed it off to be picked up by FedEx the same day! I have never seen an attorney doing that, and I could tell his office was busy ( 3 attorneys and staff of 4 paralegals non-stop answering phone calls and typing up something), yet for the duration of my visit he completely focused on my case and didn't let me go until everything was done and envelope sealed to be mailed! Very good attorney. Needless to say my case concluded successfully in less than 2 months, I wish I had his office retained from the start, but who knew. I recommend this attorney to anyone who has immigration related questions and need legal assistance from no-nonsense, well experienced and caring immigration attorney.
