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.

An attorney you can trust when you are moving through the immigration system.

My wife (then my fiancée) and I hired Allan and his firm to help us through the K-1 Visa Process five years ago. Allan and his entire team were flawless through the entire process, guiding us through exactly what was needed to be done, and how to do it. USCIS is generally a "one strike and you're o...ut" type of organization - which means it is imperative to do things right the first time through. To maximize your chance of doing so - seriously consider adding Allan to your team. Our process was seamless - and it was specifically because we worked with Allan and his team that it was so simple. We are happy today - because we hired Allan and his team five years ago. Allan truly was our "Immigration Law Sherpa" - and you would do well to consider him doing the same for you.

I got lucky

There are not many things to go on when choosing a law firm. It is almost a guessing game. But my wife and I consider ourselves lucky when we chose Lolly and Associates. They got my wife's fiancé visa and both her two year and 10 year Green Cards all without a hitch. Everything was easy and effic...ient. They even helped me with information on our son born in the Philippines. Highly recommended.

Barry, Thank you. I'm glad that your family is doing well. When choosing an attorney it helps to ask for credentials, including licensing information. There are many resources about the attorney that are easy to get at so asking the attorney for credentials is a very quick starting point to conduct a review. I don't offer my credentials unless asked, but I am glad to offer upon request.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
