Terrific! Highly recommendable. Conditional "green card".

Allan Lolly and Taylor Collins helped us in the process of receiving my conditional permanent resident status after I (German) got married to my husband (US). Everything worked out great from the start: Only a few hours after we've sent an e-mail to Allan Lolly's office in order to get some informa...tion and a quote, Allan personally called us to get a better view of our case (most of the lawyers we contacted, did not even get back or only months later). His professionalism and detailed explanations, just on this first phone call, convinced us, he would be the right choice and made us hire him. Our expectations even got exceeded. Taylor was in charge for us and prepared all the paperwork absolutely perfect and very detail-oriented, I guess, that is what counts in matters like these. The e-mail-correspondence was professional during the entire process, every update from the USCIS got communicated right away (not one single day delayed). And everything always got explained (while Taylor was on vacation, Cynthia did a wonderful job here, too!). Short-term requests from our side were resolved by Taylor immediately. Only 2 month after filing date, I received EAD and AP and two weeks later the conditional "green card". Much earlier then we ever anticipated. Thank you Allan and Team for the great work! I will definitely hire Allan Lolly again for removal of the conditional status.

K-1 Visa

I was in need of a K-1 Visa and researched it thoroughly on the internet. Initially I called Mr. Lolly's office and spoke with him directly about his credentials, experience, and the whole K-1 Process. I could have chosen cheaper avenues but I can honestly say I'm glad I went with Mr. Lolly. After... completing all the paperwork and getting the initial approval, My fiancé had her interview with the U.S Embassy. We had no problems as we were completely prepared and had everything we needed thanks to the exceptional attention to detail provided by Mr. Lolly's office. His staff is highly knowledgeable, and professional. I will certainly be a return customer.

Absolute Best Support! Great Law Office

Allan Lolly and Taylor Collins were absolutely the right choice for my fiancée and me. My German fiancée just recently received her visa, so we are super thankful to Allan and Taylor. Not only did they do a superb job of simply dealing with the government paperwork (which isn’t simple to me), but t...hey also—Taylor in particular—provided moral support and practical tips to both my fiancée and me. Often, dealing with conflicting and confusing documents from the government can be trying to a person’s sanity, but Taylor was on the ball all the time. Not once did my fiancée or I feel in the dark when we had questions. I think the fees Lolly charges are more than fair for the quality care and professionalism the client receives. My fiancée and I knew it was important for us to be able to eventually be man and wife in the USA, and I am so glad we chose this law firm. Now, our dreams can come true because of their hard work. Allan and Taylor, we thank you so much! We will use you again for further paperwork for Adjustment of Status/Green Card, etc.

The best in immigration.

I hired Allan Lolly and Associates more than a year ago to handle Visa and immigration for my Ukrainian fiancee and her son. We are now married here in the U.S.A. Visa and immigration can be hard and complicated. For this reason we chose to use a reputable law firm. Honestly you cannot find better in... my opinion. Allan Lolly and Associates has my highest recommendation.

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.
