Proficient and professional organization

Allan Lolly and his staff, through unending diligence and professional knowledge have made our dream come true. Always available to answer all the frustrating questions we had in the visa process, with patience and understanding . Their true knowledge and support in our case has become successful in ...obtaining our spousal visa to the United States. We will continue using their professional services in the future.

THE BEST

We were almost in despair as two other lawyers had refused to take on our case. A third lawyer could not be reached after our initial consult. I found Mr Lolly while browsing online almost out of options. My husband had accepted a job out of state 5 months before we started filing. The other lawyers... started working with us and then dropped out when we told them that we would not be permanently together in one state by the time of our filing. Our daughter had just undergone a surgical procedure that needed me to stay in our current state of residence until cleared by the cardiologist. The job my husband accepted was a once in a life time ooportunity that we could not pass. The other lawyers said that our case was impossible. Mr Lolly was very calm and patient in our initial conversation. He told me that our case was possible as long as I had supporting documents about my daughters condition. We also needed to show that we still had a marital relationship regardless of the fact that my husband was working out of state. He then went ahead to explain what the process would entail and that we would have to work together. Cynthia, a paralegal that works with him was assigned my case. She is a lawyer in her country of origin. We started the process immediately and majority of our communication was via e-mail. This worked perfectly for us as we did not have to go into an office (my husband was away most of the week at work). My Lolly and Cynthia worked together on our paper work and ensured that every detail was documented. Our final folder was mailed to USCIS on the last day of May 2013 and they sent a letter of receipt as June 03,2013. Our interview was for September 12th,2013. We were called for a second interview due to the fact that my husband worked out of state plus a few missed details during the interview. Mr Lolly worked with me and prepared us for what he said would be a stokes interview. We had to pay attention to the simplest details of our marriage as we could be questioned about anything and everything. Mr Lolly was very detailed and professional. I had been quite nervous after reading all the online blogs about second interviews but was very confident after my conversations with Mr Lolly. It is not just about the money with him as it is with other lawyers. He pursues excellence and is very committed from the beginning to the end. Our second interview was held October 04, 2013 and I am excited to say that I received my green card on October 16, 2013. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an immigration lawyer. He has been such a blessing to my family.

Immigration assistance

When Vera and I met out of 6 billion people on Earth, little did we know we would be on a path to be together, but we both felt it early on and as older, experienced adults we knew that to navigate the immigration and state department bureaucracy we would be wise to have excellent help. When we read... reviews and did our due diligence on the Lolly law firm, it seemed to be the way to go and we have not been disappointed. Not only has Allan kept tabs on our process but his excellent para legal Taylor in San Diego is outstanding. We will continue to use this firm until Vera becomes a citizen. Many thanks and words are not enough, but clients need to do their part also as instructed. We are happy with the outcome to get her visa to come from Russian to the U.S. I heartily recommend this firm to anyone contemplating the visa process. Stephen in Maryland

Annie, Thank you. When there is an odd situation, immigration agencies generally take the restrictive view and will deny rather than approve. It takes research and experience in working with bureaucracies to succeed. We are all happy when things work out favorably. I've enjoyed you as a client, so thank you too. Allan

A deserved review for a worthy attorney.

From the beginning, Allan was interested in our case. At no time, did he ignore us or make us feel our case was just another of many. Even though I had many questions, his staff was always very pleasant and everyone was well connected/informed to what Allan was doing in preparation of our appeal. ...My wife has her green card... what more needs to be said. :-)

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.
