HE IS BEST LAWYER IN THE WORLD!

I can't explain how amazing he is. He is a really nice person. A few years ago, we were swindled and damaged by another lawyer. But Mr. Ladd is a lawyer who did his best to my family. He did his best, but he helped stabilize my family and keep us safe all the time. Thanks to Mr. Ladd, my family ...is living a new life. He saved our family.

Delivered as Promised.

When I met with Mr. Ladd regarding my wife's immigration case he clearly explained the process to me and what steps would be involved. Everything occurred exactly and he outlined and the timeline only lagged his original estimates by a few months (due to delays in government agencies processing docu...ments). He does an excellent job of managing expectations, delivering as promised, and ensuring the process goes as smoothly and efficiently as possible.

The best attorney you can get in US

Allen Ladd is a great person who handles your case with utmost care. He is very knowledgeable in this immigration field and helped me immensely with my EB1A application thru I140 and 485 considering my convoluted not so straightforward case. The best being we never met each other till we got all appr...oved. We worked together for almost 3 months before we filed I 140 collecting all documents and helping me with each and every letters and proofs which we submitted to get it approved without an RFE. Also with i485 RFE he was very prompt to send in the reply back as soon as possible with the required documents to get everything approved. He is a very compassionate human being who is very friendly at the same time he is completely professional in handling the case with uscis. I highly recommend him for any immigration related matter.

Highly recommend !

We went for a complimentary 1st consultation and Mr Ladd treated us like a family. He went out of his way to examine issue at hand and to help us with our immigration matter, despite the fact that he was not compensated. He was truly there for us as a human being just willing to help. He was very kno...wledgeable and honest about what could or could not have predictable/effective outcome and offered a great strategy we were not aware of. He also followed up with us and was genuinely happy for us. He has travelled internationally and has knowledge of different cultures which helps tremendously in situations like that. Highly recommend!

Prompt and professional!

Mr. Ladd gave me helpful information and directed me to some of his colleagues who could help me further. Extremely prompt and professional.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Allen (Mr. Ladd) for over 25 years through our individual immigration law practices, which are quite similar in scope. Over that time, he has handled virtually every kind of business and family-based immigration case, as well as the full range of waiver case filed with USCIS, visa applications with US Embassies, and green card filings with the Department of Labor (“PERM” cases). He and his staff stay up to date on changes in the law and applicable regulations, and I frequently consult with him on cases in my practice that raise unusual issues. Allen (Mr. Ladd) and his staff are proactive in their case management, and professional in their relations with clients. I highly recommend him and his firm for any kind of immigration case."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
