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.

BEST Attorney for Immigration Cases!!!

If you are looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, energetic, caring, fair, generous, responsive lawyer who keeps you always informed about your case, Mr. Allen C. Ladd will be your choice. He is a whole package in immigration matters in different aspects that I named few of his characteristics abo...ve. Honestly, he is one of the nicest people with a very high level of integrity that I have ever seen in my life. My wife and I came to the United States almost 15 years ago. We were working with another lawyer and the process of our immigration and citizenship was not that smooth and took us long time (about 15 years). After these many years, we could not get ANY result for the process of our naturalization, until in 2015, we found out about Mr. Allen Ladd. We were able to make an appointment with him, for next few days through his courteous, helpful, accurate and cooperative staffs. He started immediately. He protected our rights in the best possible way and in a shortest possible time. Mr. Allen Ladd is a hard-working attorney and passionate about the justice. I should mention that we were not in a very good financial situation and he cut part of his reasonable fees for such an important and complicated case like our case to make it affordable for us. We are so grateful for having Mr. Ladd as our attorney for our immigration case.

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.

Excellent in Every Way

In 2008 I moved to the USA with my husband and children to open a branch of my UK business. Mr Ladd provided excellent advice on how this should be done and told us how to create a business plan that would answer the many queries we could expect to receive from the immigration service. We arrived ...in the USA in September 2008 and Mr Ladd handled all our visa applications, our renewals in 2009 and he then put together a case for Green Cards which we received in December 2010. His knowledge and experience made the process look easy (we know it is not) he kept us well informed throughout and always answered our queries. We are now looking forward to the day when we can apply for citizenship, and hope that Mr Ladd will be there to help us take the final step and become real Americans. I have no hesitation in recommending his service which I have found to be excellent in every respect.

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."

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.
