Excellent service and outcome re: Green Card (Family Class)

Just wanted to say how very excellent Yvonne was in handling all aspects of my case. Throughout the entire lengthy, (lots of paperwork, etc), process, I always felt at ease, knowing that every detail was being handled with professional expertise. At times I was nervous and asked many questions, bu...t they were always quickly answered, and I was never made to feel like any of my questions were either too numerous or too small for them to quickly answer. When there were complex questions I was always able to reach Yvonne by telephone, as well as email. As my case was progressing, there was even extra thought given to legally proceeding in a particular fashion so as to maximize the chance of the intended outcome. This i thought was very impressive and spoke to their deep knowledge of the complexity of U.S. immigration law. In summation, I always felt treated professionally, very courteously, and the final outcome was completely successful. I would heartily recommend Yvonne and the firm she represents to anyone looking for a relatively pain free way to wade through all immigration law and then receive the final outcome that you are looking for.

The best!

we just wanted to take a few moments to say that we had the pleasure of working with Yvonne. She made the process of changing status and getting work authorization smooth. When we first started this task it looked impossible to do on our own. There are not enough good things to be said about the firm... and Yvonne especially. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Sincerely J&C

This attorney was worth every penny!

My wife is a US citizen and I am a recently approved US permanent resident! After getting spontaneously married, we looked into filing our own visa petitions but it all seemed too complicated (and we each have Masters degrees!). A Google search returned Lawrence R Holmes, an attorney with almost 25 y...ears' experience in the field of obtaining K1 Visas. We noticed that they offered a free consultation so we gave them a call. After that first phone call with Richard Holmes, we were filled with confidence and requested the company's services soon after. Since then, Yvonne, the most friendly paralegal in the world, kept in touch frequently and answered any query we had pertaining to paperwork etc. She described the separate petitions that we would need to file and what evidence we would need for each. She was always very clear about what we had to do in emails and phone correspondence. She held our hands the whole way through the application process and even gave us some advice for our joint interview at the USCIS office. All in all, we were very happy with Lawrence R Holmes. We would recommend them to anyone going through a similar process. The biggest help was their flexibility in rescheduling payments. Whenever we knew that we couldn't make a full payment by a specific date, all we had to do was call and rearrange or split payments into even more smaller/manageable chunks.

Phenomenal!!

My husband & I were so fortunate to find the law office of Lawrence R. Holmes. He and his staff made both the green card and adjustment of status process stress free. Whenever we had a question, there was no wait time for an answer. In less than 3 years of coming to the US, I am officially deemed... a lawful permanent resident. We owe many thanks to the staff at the law office of Lawrence R. Holmes, but a huge thanks goes out to Yvonne for all of her hard work and dedication. It has been such a privilege to work with her and we can't thank her enough for all that she did. We highly recommend their services to anyone in need!

Great lawyer!

Upon searching for an immigration lawyer online, i came across Mr. Holmes. He had some good reviews so i discussed it with my husband and we decided to use him. After paying our fees, we were emailed the relevant paper work from his paralegal to be completed and returned to him. We did as was told a...nd our petition started in mid August 2014. In early September we received a letter from USCIS with appointment for biometrics. After completing that i got my Employment Authorization Card in late November. Early December, i received another letter from USCIS with our interview date set for early January. We went and the interview and was successful! Green card was sent in the mail about a week after. Each time we got a letter from USCIS the paralegal that works with Mr. Holmes would email us to ensure we received the letters and is preparing for whatever that was scheduled which was very professional. We had no problem at all working with Mr. Holmes. Thanks much to Mr. Holmes and his team. We are definitely looking forward to work with him in the next 2 years Gods willing.
