Proven and trusted

I've used Allan Lolly's firm twice for my wife and I's immigration needs and their work is fast, efficient and well worth the reasonable cost. If you can communicate well in writing and provide timely materials as requested, they will take the ball from there. They provided courteous responses to all... my questions and earned my respect and trust.

I 601 Wavier

Absolute outstanding and professional legal service. Since inception, I knew I found the perfect attorney to assist in reuniting me with my future husband. Not only did Allan Lolly take the time to walk me through the process in obtaining the 601 Waiver, but guided, advised, and kept me informed th...roughout. The staff was always just as helpful and a pleasure to work with, especially Schuyler. Allan, your professionalism and knowledge with the immigration process is why I will be able to spend the rest of my life with Omar. I will forever be grateful to you and your firm. I highly recommend Lolly Associates.

Our case was not easy since my husband and I lived on a cruise ship.

Our case was not easy since my husband and I lived on a cruise ship. After my husband and I decided to get married we began to seek for an immigration lawyer so that he could give us advise regarding our situation: that we were on international waters, sometimes on the Pacific, other times on the At...lantic most of the times on the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and spent little to no time on land or our home countries. With a stoke of luck I came across Allan's review, and I decided to call him and present him our situation to see what he advised. I knew we would never meet in person the lawyer we chose, so my husband and I were very hesitant about hiring somebody we found on the internet. But believe me, he talked to me with so much care, he explained to me the process in detail of getting my husband the American Residency (all of this before we hired him), and every time we had a question regarding his services, he would answer promptly and answered every little question. Finally I asked him for a way I could see his records and he sent me his bar license number, I saw he had an impeccable record and this gave me comfort to hire him plus his caring voice. As soon as my husband and I said YES we want to hire you, all the process started and was very professional. We did everything through e-mails. Our para legal attorney was Taylor Collins, she handled our case exceptionally well. I think it is normal that most of the time, not always, she took two days to answer our e-mails, so I got used to that rhythm. We understood that they might have had many other cases to attend, but still she always answered them at all times. She was always on top of our case. Very well organized with our documents. I think I don't have the right words to express how well she handled our case. Since we started the process until my husband got his visa approved we waited 1 1/2 year. This is a process that needs a lot a patience. Me and my husband were very confident that we were in good hands. This is how her professionalism made us fell. Now that he's got his visa approved we can finally get jobs on land and start thinking about future babies. Thank you for your great services. Will definitely recommend you!

Posted by Shane | March 28, 2015 | Immigration

A trustworthy, knowledgable, and caring firm.

High class organization. Very polite and professional. Worked with us until we were granted a k1 visa. I will be retaining them for all further immigration issues and recommend everyone else do the same. They prefer to only speak by e-mail but that understandable as they wish to keep their phones fre...e for emergencies/urgent issues. There were a couple times a day or two would pass before an e-mail was answered but it was never something that needed answered right away. My paralegal was Cynthia Lopez and she was always thoughtful, caring, and supportive as well. They walked me through and were available to help all the way up until the interview date. They even give a phenomenal paper to hand the officer in case of denial and are prepared to help you instead of just give up after a denial which luckily I did not encounter. I am excited to retain him and get my fiances green card and further down the road citizenship with his help. My mother will also be using him to get her husbands citizenship.

A sense of comfort

Throughout the process of the fiancee/spouse visa application the offices of Allan S Lolly kept me informed with what was next in the process and how long each step could take while also at the same time answered any and every question my wife and I had. I cannot express how comforting it was to have... their team working with us and for us so that my wife could come to the states.
