My family and I wouldn't be living in the United States today without the exceptional services of Allen Ladd.

An INS officer stated to me at a hearing that he was 99.9% sure that he was going to issue a deportation order the following day for my entire family. At that hearing I was informed that my legal council had been barred from practicing Immigration Law for 3 years and would not be present to represen...t me at the hearing. The INS officer and the lawyer that showed up to ensure that my “rights were protected” further stated that in addition to the deportation order I would never become a Permanent Resident or a United States Citizen. We owned a home and our children were in a school they loved and suddenly everything we had was in jeopardy. To make the moment complete the INS officer stated that my employer would also prosecuted. I am happy say that the story did not end there. I am a proud US Citizen today and living “The Dream”. My family and I founded and operate a successful small business treating life threatening sleep disorders. We have made a difference in the lives of thousands people lucky enough to live in the greatest country in the world. During the long battle and uncertain times Allen was not only my legal counsel, he was my friend giving encouragement when the future seemed so dark. Allen (Mr. Ladd) did what I was told from several other law firms could not be done. The battle was not easy but it was well worth it. I have trusted Allen with the immigration needs of many of my friends and family members over the years and will continue to recommend Allen C. Ladd, Attorney. Al Tall

A real expert in the field of immigration

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Ladd back in 2010-2011. He is not only a great attorney, but also is a highly esteemed person with a very delightful personality. He treats his clients like his family members. Professionally also he is very committed to his job. In my case, he successfully got ...me an exemption for the 2-years rule regarding with two of my J-1 visas, even without me being able to provide him a no-objection letter. He is a real expert in what he does, and I am confident that he provides the same quality of service to anyone hires him as his/her attorney.

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."
