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.

Yvonne was very helpful

Yvonne was very helpful and prompt in returning any questions we had. She was always a step ahead and showed interest in our case personally by asking how everything was going and wishing us luck on our interview. We wish she was ours for the whole case! My husband got his permanent residency within ...2 weeks of our interview! We were well prepared and had all of our documents ready as per the direction and help from Yvonnne. The instructions given directly by the government lack the detail needed to feel confident and Yvonne ensured we were confident with our interview by providing extra direction.

Great Immigration Lawyer

Diana Nunez/Lawrence R. Holmes helped us with our AoS and RoC procedure. She always did a really great job, always answered emails really fast and guided us through the whole process. She gave us great, structured lists of the different documents needed from who and for what. She also answered ever...y question we had and explained things detailed. Both times she filed for us within the time frame we had and we also were approved really fast - much faster than the waiting times posted on the USCIS website. We liked her service so much, that we referred another couple to Lawrence R. Holmes and they had the same great experience and were approved fast.

K1/K2 Visas for my Fiance and her son - Philippines

For those who are indecisive about whether to hire a lawyer to lead the effort in seeking a visa to the United States, my rapid and strong opinion is, "It would be the best investment you could ever make!" Sure, I know the basics of making applications but I do not have the breadth or depth of exper...ience, I don't know all the 'buzz' or 'key' words that U.S. Immigration officials like to see and, there is no better expert to whom to direct questions and from whom to derive winning strategies than Lawrence R. Holmes. I do plan to continue using his services.

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.
