Excelente Equipo

Mi esposo y yo estamos muy agradecidos con el equipo de Lloyd Bennett; Marcelo Morales y muy especialmente Yolanda Mendoza por su trabajo en nuestro caso de Petición de Residencia. Profesionales con amplia experiencia y conocimiento en el campo de las leyes de Inmigración quienes siempre estuvieron... comprometidos a informarnos sobre el contexto legal de nuestro caso, respondernos de forma prácticamente inmediata todas nuestras dudas a través de emails y llamadas telefónicas, aconsejarnos los convenientes pasos a seguir, darnos solución a cada eventual inconveniente que surgió en el proceso, y no sólo recaudar, organizar y enviar nuestros documentos listos para el día de la entrevista sino también prepararnos psicológicamente para la misma. Basta decir que el resultado de todo ese esfuerzo se resume en que obtuve mi Green Card en menos de un año. ¡Gracias Yolanda y a todo el equipo de Lloyd por su excelente servicio!

Adjustment of status interview

I adjusted my immigration status via marriage. The process was extremely stressful and long. Having an attorney to guide you through the process is comforting, ensures the process is being done correctly, and is a great resource for any questions. Yolanda accompanied us to the interview and ensure...d that the interview was conducted appropriately. On the day of the interview, she showed up early and checked my wife and I in. During the wait, she reviewed everything to ensure the interview would go well. The wait on the day of the interview is long so we chatted for quite some time. It helps to have a friendly and approachable attorney with you to keep you at ease. We also met prior to the interview. During this meeting, Yolanda made sure we had all of our documents organized. We also went through some questions that may come up during the interview. Most were basic marriage and cohabitation questions (e.g. what is the color of your doorknob) but you don't really think about these day to day so this mock interview helps you really review the details which may be questioned during the real interview. If you're looking for someone who can give solid advice, be on top of your case, and does his or her best to make sure your case is processed successfully, we recommend Yolanda.

“Simply The Best “

Sincerest Thank You !!! Yolanda is the most professional and knowledgeable lawyer in practice. She prepared us for our marriage based green card petition process and USCIS interview to the finest of details. While she started as our lawyer, she became a trusted advisor and confidant. What we expect...ed to be a stressful process became much more reasonable due to Yolanda’s patient guidance. She took away the myths by educating us about what we could expect based on her experience. Throughout the process, she was open, warm and kind. We both felt that we were in good hands at all times. Our application was successful - and fast - and this was largely due to the care she took in advising us on all areas of the process. We can’t begin to say how much we appreciate what you have done. We remain very grateful for your expertise, professionalism, thoroughness, and kindness.

The greatest and unique attorney!

I highly recommend Yolanda to anyone who needs an immigration lawyer you can trust and relay on. She is caring, kind and professional. We had the most difficult immigration case, our mother is an older adult, she felt very frustrated, helpless and depressed for we did not see any hope for our case un...til the Good Lord guided us to Lloyd E. Bennett, Esq to find Yolanda. A waiver was needed to get an approval. Attorney Yolanda Mendoza took our case and worked with such care, dedication and skill that you can only find in books about unique lawyers. Extreme hardship waiver was approved and green card was obtained. Yolanda is not only a great professional, but a friend and counselor. Her loyalty and commitment to get the best for her client are the keys for the success. My family appreciates you Yolanda, keep up the good work and be blessed! Jonatha.
