K1 Visa

Mr. Holmes and his office helped us get our K1 Visa. I thought that I would be able to get the visa by myself within a month. I soon found out that I would need a lot of help. I called Mr. Holmes and felt very comfortable with the conversation we had about the visa. I discovered that it was going... to be a long process. Every step of the way I had the guidance of a professional. I don't know how I could have found my way through the maze of this process without help. Here we are a year later and everything we have now is due to the fact that Mr Holmes and his office helped us. My wife and I thank you for all your hard work and wish you all the best. David and Masha

This lawyer is an expert in immigration. They are very good with communication to the client. They will keep you informed of whatever process that has finished and replies very fast to inquiries and requests. They are not as pricey as the others but provides exceptional services.

Thank you for a successful Green Card application!

Diana at the office of Lawrence R Holmes was absolutely amazing. She was always helpful, prompt, and did whatever she could to get the process moving. Our questions were always answered. We were able to obtain our green card in a very short period of time, and we know that was because we hired the...m. The attorney fees are definitely worth it!

Failed to meet expectations, extortion and disrespect

Contacted the attorney, Chris was very nice on the phone, explaining how he will handle the case. After they have received payment, the matter was passed down to a low end paralegal (Kareema), that has very little knowledge in the matter, but since the case was "delegated" to her, there was nothing t...o be done. After the case was granted additional time for an appeal, this law office decided to do a little of extortion. Knowing of the deadline, they have demanded more money in order to file the case. You decide if their other reviews are real, 100% success? i think not, not even standing behind their own clients - is shameful . You decide or if you want them to take up your case, if i were you pick another office with real reviews, and check forums as i am doing now :/, live and learn.
