Wonderful Experience with an Excellent Attorney

I strongly recommend James lamb to be your attorney for any immigration related matters. James has been my lawyer since 2015. He is very knowledgeable and responsible advocate. He prepared and filed my immigration applications successfully on time. James has always responded to my calls and emails on... time and followed up on my requests with details in a very professional manner. His valuable legal consultations helped me in many situations. Even though I had moved to a different state, he traveled to represent me when I needed. I am very satisfied by his legal service, and I highly recommend him to anyone needs an excellent lawyer because the outcomes with James will be more than great.

Immigration Lawyer

James has provided excellent and agressive service for our case. Through his continious honesty and experience, James provided all the options available in order to attain the most effective outcome. We are very satisfied with the results of our case and the relationships we developed. James demo...nstrates his passion for helping his clients achieve their goals. We felt at ease at all times, never felt we were another case number. We highly recommend James Lamb as we couldn’t be happier for what he has been able to accomplish for our family.

Great lawyer, Excelent Service

I give James Lamb five stars. Lamb and his staff really came through for me when USCIS asked for further information before making a decision about my US citizenship. Lamb's knowledge of criminal law and how it may impact one's access to immigration benefits is very unique. I have met with other law...yers before reaching out to Lamb, but did not feel that they will really fight for my case. He met with me and dedicated all the time that it was necessary to understand my case thoroughly. In addition to his expertise, he also counts with very dedicated staff who do follow through and are available to offer when needed. Lamb gave me hope in pursuing my US citizenship, but he was also realistic and upfront about possible negative outcomes. I appreciate very much that it was never an issue to get a hold of him when I had questions about my case. Lamb won my case and I am forever grateful for that! As if this fact were not enough, during the process, I never had a doubt that he was working hard on my case because I was always being kept in the loop. I have no words to express my gratitude to James Lamb and his staff for helping me obtain my US citizenship and would (already have) recommend his to family and friends.
