Highly recommended! Great communication and quick response times. Very professional.

Lawrence Holmes and his assistant Diana were very quick and effective in processing our K-1 Fiancee visa, and then getting my wife her Green Card. I highly recommend these professionals to handle all of your immigration needs. Especially noteworthy, was the quick response when a need or question was ...asked. I can not imagine having to process our K-1 and Green Card without this fine lawyer's help. If you need a good professional Immigration lawyer, Lawrence Holmes is the lawyer that will get you the best results.

FRANK AND YLANI - SPOUSE IMMIGRATION TO THE USA

We were referred to a different lawyer by a friend in the US, and after doing some research ourservelves, we found that just looking at the website of Lawrence R. Holmes, that it was sufficient enough to make our decision as to whom to go with. Diana Nunez has guided us, and kept us up to date with ...all steps and documents required. There was not one step where I had to wonder if all requirements were met and or if the necessary documents were emailed, received, couriered or even incorrect. I would totally recommend her and Lawrence R. Holmes immigrations attorney to anyone.

Amazing job!!!

Lawrence Holmes and his team did a fantastic job on my husband's spousal CR-1 visa case. Our biggest fear starting the process was that we would not handle documents correctly and be delayed in receiving his visa. Mr. Holmes and the paralegals ensured everything was correct in everything we needed to... do. All we had to do was gather the information and they would worry about the rest. It was very hassle-free. Originally the expected time for my husband to come to the United States was approximately January of 2013. He had his visa interview in Ciudad Juarez on November 1st, 2012 and returned to the U.S. on November 7th, 2012. We were very pleased with how quick and easy the process was and we would definitely recommend Lawrence R. Holmes to anyone looking for an immigration attorney!

K1 Legal service that is efficient, professional and reasonably priced.

We had a couple small issues initially, with assistants at Lawrence R. Holmes Law Firm but it seemed to be due to some issues out of their control. Once Diana, a Paralegal for the firm, started working on our case I felt very comfortable that we were being taken care of. She was able to answer all ou...r questions every step of the way. Hindsight being 20/20, I can assure anyone starting this process that Lawrence R. Holmes has an efficient process and thorough. Going through the K1 visa process is by no means fun. I had started doing the process myself and was frustrated and worried that I was going to fail to submit proper paperwork. After hiring Lawrence R. Holmes I found out that I could have delayed the process by more than a year if I had submitted the package I had put together myself. I was missing so much information. I did my homework before requesting the services of the Lawrence R. Holmes Law Firm. Their services are reasonably priced. They cannot promise a certain outcome for the services they render but no attorney can. So, if you are working with a budget, the fees for their services are reasonable. If there are any suggestions I can make for anyone starting this process, 1) Be patient. Everything takes time. 2) Read everything 2 or 3 times to make sure that you completely understand what you are required to provide and complete. Good luck to you, if you are beginning the journey to start a life together with foreign loved one. I would like to take the opportunity to thank Lawrence R. Holmes Law Firm for everything they have done to help us complete this step in the journey for my fiance and I to be together. We will certainly be using their services for the green card process, as well. Thank you, Lawrence R. Holmes and a special thank you to a very special paralegal. Thank you, Diana! We could not have done this without you and we are eternally grateful! ~Brent and Carmie
