Made a difficult process simple

We would definitely recommend the services of Mr. Holmes. He and his staff made a very confusing process simple and easy to understand. Attempting to fill out all the necessary government paperwork on our own would have been a nightmare and prone to error that could have resulted in delays in getti...ng my husband's visa approved. We sincerely appreciate the assistance and will definitely use him moving forward for other immigration matters.

most convenient and helpful service

Lawrence R. Holmes firm simplified the process to obtain my fiancee's K1 visa by gathering all the required paperwork on my behalf, assuring I provided all essential documents needed to make the final interview run smooth. Living in Georgia, I was initially concerned distance would've been an issue l...imiting our communication. However, I was given full assistance from an attentive and professional Paralegal Specialist, who was able to answer via email all my questions regarding the visa process. Their service fee was broken down into several payments over monthly intervals, which made things easier from a financial standpoint. In short, I am very satisfied with the service provided to me and I would recommend this firm to anyone who does not have the time or patience to deal with all the requirements involving getting your loved one a visa.

Application for Permanent Residency - Thanks for your guidance!

I was very happy with my decision to enlist Lawrence Holmes to handle the immigration case for my wife. With no knowledge of the whole immigration process I was hesitant to enlist an attorney as far away as San Diego to handle my case in Maryland. Based on his experience in these types of cases and... my initial consultation with Mr. Holmes, I felt comfortable that his team was knowlegable and equiped to handle my case. During my initial conversation I was made aware of all my options in the matter and given a basic understanding of each of the routes to permanent residency. He then detailed the process that related directly to my situation. After my initial counseltation, my case was handed over to a Paralegal in the firm. From the beginning I was very at ease with the handling of my cash by Ms. Jones. She was very clear in all her communications and requests for information. She responded very quickly to all my inquires and helped me understand each step of the process. I am happy to say that, in the end, everything went as outlined in my initial meetings. We successfully obtained a temporary Green Card and will most likely engage the firm to handle the next steps in the process two years from now.

Great Lawyer

Lawrence Holmes is very knowledgeable in immigration law, as is his son Chris Holmes. Their paralegal specialist Diana Nunez is also very helpful. The team definitely helped me to understand exactly what needed to be done to adjust my British husband's status and get his 10 year permanent resident ca...rd for the US. All the requirements were laid out in clear lists and all questions I had were answered over the phone.

Lawrence Holmes Immigration

I was in need of a lawyer for immigrating my wife to the country. After a lot of looking around I chose Lawrence Holmes, they were very helpful and insightful as I had no clue what needed to be done. They did a wonderful job replying to the many questions I had and did it in a very timely manner, a...long with it being in words I could understand. The law office had specialist in all categories which made me feel more comfortable than one person trying to do the many different parts of the immigration process. Everyone was very helpful and returned calls and emails in the same day or next day, after my wife's case was approved they still stayed with me to make sure my wife received her green card and ssn along with steps on receiving permanent residence. I would recommend this lawyer to freinds and family as I felt the handled my case at a personal level and made my wife and I feel special assistance and not just another number.
