Excellent Service

Allan and his paralegal, Taylor, did a fantastic job preparing the documentation and advising my husband and I throughout our green card process. Although my husband and I live in two separate states in the east coast, and Allan was able to accurately guide us via email and phone calls. Taylor was pr...ompt in her replies, and was always able to answer our questions. Of all of the lawyers we contacted earlier in the process, Allan and his associates were the only ones that really took the time to answer or questions make make us feel comfortable. My husband received his green card last week, and we are very grateful to Allan and Taylor for their assistance.

Conditional Greencard

Allan Lolly and his associates were very helpful, through emails or phone calls they were there for me. I received my green card through good faith of marriage. And I was really happy. Thank you so much

I got lucky

There are not many things to go on when choosing a law firm. It is almost a guessing game. But my wife and I consider ourselves lucky when we chose Lolly and Associates. They got my wife's fiancé visa and both her two year and 10 year Green Cards all without a hitch. Everything was easy and effic...ient. They even helped me with information on our son born in the Philippines. Highly recommended.

Barry, Thank you. I'm glad that your family is doing well. When choosing an attorney it helps to ask for credentials, including licensing information. There are many resources about the attorney that are easy to get at so asking the attorney for credentials is a very quick starting point to conduct a review. I don't offer my credentials unless asked, but I am glad to offer upon request.

Excellent and professional service

Our first contact with Allan was already excellent. We called his office and got directly put through to him. He made sure to take his time and find our specific situation and need in detail, to then map out the best way forward for us. He was very open and honest about everything, also in regards to... the costs. And it all turned out to be true. We retained Allan and his firm for a total of $1800 and it didn't cost us a single cent more. After our first consultation Allan was very quick to follow up with the necessary paperwork and we also got assigned our excellent paralegal, Taylor, who from now on would help us on a day-to-day basis. And while at first we were a little weary that they only want to be contacted by email, unless it is an emergency, Taylor always responded within a single business day. So our concerns were completely unfounded. And when once we did have a time sensitive issue where we had to call in, Taylor was available right away and gladly helped us out on the phone. We first contacted Allan in April 2014. In July 2014 my wife and I got married and at the end of July we had all the documents ready to submit to the consulate in Frankfurt, Germany. By mid-August, we already got a response that said that our application had been approved and that we should move forward in getting all the original documents together and pay all the fees to arrange the interview at the consulate. By mid-september we were ready to schedule the interview, which we had on October 23. We could already have had it in the first week of October, but for private scheduling reasons, we chose to do it later. Anyways, Allan and his team were straightforward with the timeline, they said it was going to take 4-5 months once all the documents were ready. In our case it was a little more than 3 months, so they erred on the safe side, but we couldn't have been any happier. And thanks to Taylor and Allan's excellent work and preparation, we didn't experience any problems along the way and everything went down smoothly. My American wife and I moved to the U.S. at the end of December and we are now excited to start our lives here. We can only highly recommend Allan and his team for any immigration related issues, since we couldn't have been any happier. It was very professional and very responsive from day one. Thank you Allan, and thank you Taylor!

THE NUMBER ONE LAW FIRM TO RETAIN IF YOU WANT ANY IMMIGRATION ISSUES RESOLVED

In a word: Outstanding. I retained you for Anamie’s Fiancée K-1 Visa in July 2010 and we are now at the end of the road on December 13, 2014. Anamie is a U.S. citizen. Your firm completed each and every step along this journey professionally and in an organized manner. Any time I had a question ...for either you or Tami during this four and a half year period, your reply was prompt, courteous and, most of the times, comforting since many of my questions dealt with issues that caused me stress. Without the thorough preparation of Tami and other staff at your firm, this process would not have been completed smoothly, effortlessly, and in such a timely manner. Thank you.

  • 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.
