Allan Scott Lolly

Allan Lolly made 3 serious mistakes that cost us a great deal of money and wasted time. 1. Allan Lolly advised me that, before applying for US citizenship, I should give up my current green card and apply for a new one since I had traveled quite a bit outside of the US in the past years. I hired ...him to complete the forms for $2000 (in addition there were application, medical and other costs--some unexpected). When I finally went for my Immigration interview, I was told by the Immigration Officer, after this long application process that lasted several months, that there was no reason to have applied for a new green card since there was nothing wrong with the one I had had since 1977. This cost us a great deal both in fees, other expenses and lost work time. 2. Ten minutes before going into the immigration interview I finally managed to get Allan Lolly on the phone. He told me as I was about to walk into the interview that my case might be thrown out and that we would then have to gofor litigation. 3. Lolly was impossible to reach by phone after the first generous interview. We urgently asked to speak with him when it appeared that the information given by his paralegal, Taylor Collins, was different from that we later received from the US Government (this affected my ability to do my work) and also when we had burning questions regarding our interview with US Immigration, that were not covered in the handout he sent us. All phone queries took an extremely long time. We had the impression that we had to wait while the receptionist, Jennifer, seemed to actually be walking back and forth between her desk and the office of the paralegal to get answers to our questions. My husband and I initially chose Allan Lolly because he was very generous with his time during the free intake interview and discussed our case with us in detail. Also all recommendations we read except one, about Allan Lolly were positive. The one bad reference complained about difficulties in communications with the office and rudeness. This one negative reference proved to be totally accurate in the experience of myself and my husband. For just over a year I have tried to forget this most unpleasant and very costly experience, but I can not ignore my conscience any longer and feel it is important to warn others not to have any dealings with Allan Lolly or the people he employs.

I Hired Allan for a K1 Fiance visa at first they were so nice untill they received their money and my fiance was denied visa due to not acting fast on out behalf we lost the visa and they closed our case. After that we never heared from Allan and his staff any more and was told sorry to hear your vi...sa was denied--so all that I paid for the laire wyer went down the drain. Other lawyers will refund you if they can't help you---Allan took the money and forgot us. Now I have to hire another lawyer to help us and pick up where Allan left us hangenning. After one year and a half I'm still waiting for my fiance to get approved no luck yet. We have to file again and come up with more money that we don't have---I hope some one will read this and help us I don't have any more money not even for uscis to file again. I will never recommend Allan Lolly to help you bring your fiance to usa cause they will not act fast on your behalf and make you do all the work for them--all Allan staff do is fill out the forms for you as you can do that your self for free He is all talk no action.

Allan Lolly & Assocs. represented my wife and I in an immigration matter. The whole process felt like an immigration mill; we were treated like an account not like clients. He did a sufficient job (she got her green card so I can't say he failed us), but I just felt that I could have found a better... person to represent me. For instance, when I called with a tax filing question the firm told me to go check the IRS website; not the service I was expecting for what I was paying them. Also through out the whole process the only time I was able to reach an actual attorney was the initial 'getting my business' call. Like I said earlier, my wife did get her green card, but I would not recommend Lolly to a friend because I could never recommend a lawyer that I would not go back to myself.

I paid this firm a down payment of $600 to represent my fiancee and myself in the pursuance of a Fiancee Visa. The firm took my money and never delivered one bit of information to me. Thankfully, I thought to close my Master Card account before they took any more money from me. I am now in the pro...cess of filing complaints with the Better Business bureau and the Attorney General's Office in an attempt to recover my $600.
