A Big Thank You!!

My husband and I hired Lawrence Holmes for our spousal visa. Yvonne was handling our case. She’s amazing. We mucked up our K1 visa previously and were very worried about this whole process. But she handled our case so efficiently. She guided us whole process and answered our every query. I got my vi...sa few days back and very satisfied with Lawerence Holmes. I thank you guys!!!

Invaluable advice for a great price

My husband and I hired Lawrence R Holmes Immigration Attorney in January 2017, as we prepared to leave Dubai to move to the U.S.. My husband is a U.S. citizen, I am a U.K. citizen and we met in Dubai almost 6 years ago. Having tried to learn about the immigration process for myself and feeling comple...tely lost as to how we were going to navigate through this, we made the decision to hire an attorney and I am so glad we did. Diana was a huge help to us over the course the of the year, providing clear and coherent advice and always efficient in her response to our many, many questions. We also believe their services were great value for money, when we think about what we paid against the level of support we received over a 12 month period. I dread to think how difficult this would have been without their help and am happy to say we are now settling in nicely into life in the U.S. together.

Green Card / Naturalization

In a "nutshell" ... Mr Lawrence Holmes is an extremely competent, professional immigration lawyer with outstanding credentials! He was so helpful and informative on the phone that my husband (US Citizen) and I both decided to use this law firm to obtain my Green Card & Citizenship through Naturali...zation. We called a few Immigration lawyers but ultimately decided to go with Mr Holmes even though we reside in a different state! He is the BEST! Yvonne (Paralegal at Lawrence R Holmes Immigration Office) handled my case and the best word / words to describe her is IMPECCABLE SERVICE, PROFESSIONALISM, PROMPT, WARM & SUPPORTING, ALWAYS GOING THE "EXTRA MILE" FOR HER CLIENT!!!! YVONNE IS ONE IN A MILLION ..... THANK YOU AND WELL DONE!

Yvonne needs a raise! ;)

We have been using this law firm since 2014. First for a conditional green card and then for the removal of status. From the moment we called Lawrence we knew we were in good hands. He asked us about the situation and gave us the solution and how much it would cost. We were assigned Yvonne which have... helped us with both cases and and you couldn't meet a more wonderful paralegal ever. She understands you, have greatly patience and answers all emails and questions promptly. We are re-hiring them for naturalization because they and especially Yvonne are the BEST! We are based out of Los Angeles and we couldn't have found a better lawyer anywhere.

Incredibly helpful and efficient

This review is in regards, specifically, to our paralegal specialist, Yvonne. We have used Lawrence R Holmes, Immigration Attorney over the last 3 or so years with help with Permanent Residency. Yvonne was our paralegal through all of it. For such a complicated and important process, it felt incre...dibly easy and with minimal stress. Yvonne talked us through each step, describing what would happen and what we needed to do. It was reassuring to have Yvonne there to promptly answer any questions we had and give us enough information to help us, knowing she had great knowledge of the US immigration system. The whole process was easy and relatively straightforward with Yvonne giving us directions and advice. Her part of filing all relevant forms was done correctly and promptly. She even let us know when each part was submitted, reviewed and confirmed by USCIS. Professional, helpful and efficient service all round. We would definitely recommend and even use Yvonne again.
