Very knowledgeable law firm!

Allan Lolly & Associates is a great law firm! I truly thank them for getting my I-601 waiver approved. The staff are knowledgeable about immigration matters and very efficient in filing paperwork. I'm very happy to recommend anyone to this firm and I will for sure use them again to help me file US ci...tizenship in the next few years!

AN OUTSTANDING IMMIGRATION LAW FIRM

Your firm has always provided me with a smooth path during the filing process of my petition for a Fiancee Visa and for my petition for my wife's Conditional Green Card. I would not even entertain the idea of using another Law firm to represent us when it comes to the next two steps in her path to b...ecome an American Citizen: filing a petition to remove my wife's conditions on permanent residence based on marriage (i.e. Unconditional Green Card) and to apply for her U.S. Citizenship a year later. I would also retain the services of your firm should I need any assistance with other immigration matters in the future. The service and the understanding provided by you (Allan Lolly) and your staff has been second to none. As I mentioned earlier in my review, I plan to retain your services to file Form N-400 (Application for Naturalization) on August 1, 2014 because that date will mark 90 days before her third anniversary as a permanent resident/green card holder (November 1, 2011). In conclusion, I would use a better word than EXCELLENT to describe your firm, and that word is OUTSTANDING!! Thanks so much again for all of your help and legal counseling over the past few years.

Job well done!!!

I am so happy I spent the money to receive the services from Allan's Immigration Lawfirm. The whole process can be very confusing but the staff person I worked with ( Taylor) explained everything needed whenever I had questions. They walk you hand and hand to make the process a dream come true. Wheth...er its bringing a family member home or a spouse I'm sure they will definitely get the job done!!! I would recommend using this Lawfirm to anyone who wants to make sure the process is done correctly and speedily.

Completely Satisfied with Allan Lolly's Services

Greetings to all that are reading this review. I will be the first to admit that I normally do not write reviews, so I do apologize if my review is rather vague and/or not as complete as it should be. With that said... From the very first time I called Allan Lolly's Office to inquire about obt...aining a K1 Visa for my Fiance, I was spoken to in a polite and professional manner. I then sat with Mr. Lolly for a meet and greet session in which we discussed some of my concerns with my particular case. Mr. Lolly was indeed a great listener as he genuinely did his best to answer all my questions. After our meet and greet session, I felt more comfortable in retaining Mr. Lolly's services. Throughout the entire process from the moment I signed our contract to the point where my fiance received her K1 Visa, Mr. Lolly's firm has been there every step of the way. I had run into many questions during processing of all the paperwork required by the USCIS, and everytime I had a question, the firm was able to provide me with an answer or a course of direction on what to do. I can truly say that I felt much more at ease knowing that I had somewhere I could turn to when I didn't know the answer and when googling answers didn't provide me the information I needed. I believe this is where his experience and knowledge of the immigration laws and functions of the USCIS helpded out most. So would I recommend Allan Lolly's Immigration Law Firm... well... I already did :-) I will also be retaining Mr. Lolly's services for the next stage of my fiance's journey (AOS). If you are thinking about using his services, all I can say is give him a call just to hear for yourself of how down to earth he and his staff really are. Good Luck to all.

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.
