Here are three Attorney Guides I have written for Avvo: "Permanent Residence Case Denied! What Next?" and "US Immigration Overview" and "The Future of DACA" (Nov 2019). Find them at https://www.avvo.com/attorney-guides/29601-sc-allen-ladd-497304/guides.html
I have helped thousands of people with successful applications for green cards, work visas, naturalization and citizenship, waivers, asylum, and appeals of USCIS decisions.

Important: You must schedule your consultation ahead of time, and complete a confidential information sheet, which you can do online. It is available in English and in Spanish.

I am very thankful that I found such a great lawyer. Mr. Ladd has been amazing. He took my immigration case on and it has been a very complicated very tense situation with family court. He is very knowledgeable in all aspects of immigration and when he needed help with different aspects of my ca...

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.

Very helpful
We talked over the phone. I called him from Brazil and he gave me lots of detailed information about what I was inquiring. I did not hire him , because I still do not have all the necessary papers, but I will.

Attorney Allen C. Ladd is one of the HIGHLY competent immigration attorneys in the US
My case became complicated because of the sloppy work done by my previous immigration attorney in NY prior to relocating to South Carolina and Attorney Allen C. Ladd took the time to explain the intricacy of the processing and what would take to get it resolved in a way that would minimize disruptio...
"Allen is dedicated to continuing his education in our field of immigration law and remains a passionate defender of his clients. I endorse this lawyer."
"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."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Ladd and I worked together on a motion for change of venue from Los Angeles to Atlanta. Coordinating the matter with Mr. Ladd was easy and straight-forward. I felt confident that he could take over my client's case and do quality work in an expedient manner."
"Allen is extraordinarily knowledgeable in the very complicated practice of immigration law. He is accessible and willing to explain concepts clearly and succinctly. I am confident in Allen's abilities and ethical standards. I endorse Allen without reservation."
