Best there is!

Attorney Ladd and his amazing team helped me acquire my H1B visa and its renewal as well! Always very helpful and very knowledgeable! Couldn't ask for a better immigration lawyer. Thanks so much again!

Very experienced/knowledgeable/helpful

Allen has handeled several immigration related issues from me and my family (green card/work visa). He has always been very professional and his extensive experience in immigration matters have helped me get approvals in all my immigration cases. Allen cares about each case and as a full time immigr...ation attorney he is very through and provides a personal touch. I would recommend Allen for all immigration cases!

Best lawyer

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...se, he reached out to different attorneys to get their help. He guided me through every step and was really there for me through the entire process. He is honest and forthright and has never misled me. He listened and was very comforting and understanding of my unique situation. He truly cares about his clients and wants the best for them. He is an excellent lawyer, the best and I have gone through several different types. Again, I can't thank Mr. Ladd enough. I would be proud and most definitely hire him if I have future immigration issues and I most strongly recommend him to any future clients.

Excellent and Knowledgeable Attorney

Very experienced and knowledgeable attorney. When priority date become available for my wife's I130 then with Mr Ladd's knowledge I and my wife both got the Permanent Resident Card. Mr.Ladd is very kind and always ready to help. Also Jennifer Rodriguez working in his firm is very helpful. They have... been give us lot of time for my case. Thanks to All of them for the help.

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.

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.
