Knowledgeable, Helpful, & Amazing Staff

I researched a lot of lawyers, spoke with some, and I ended up choosing Lawrence R Holmes. Interestingly enough he was not even in my state, but that's how comfortable I was with him. He's a really good lawyer because he had me at hello. His staff is simply amazing and was always there to help with q...uestions, etc. He was able to give me assurance and confidence in moving along with a decision that was very difficult to even begin. I highly recommend him because I believe him and his staff are dedicated, professional, and just downright caring.

Getting a greencard felt so easy

I just got my greencard approved after getting married in US last year with my american boyfriend I met at school a few years ago. We knew we wouldn't have a problem with immigration proving a bona fide relationship, our problem was knowing where to begin and knowing exactly what to do at the right t...ime to make the entire process as smooth and easy as possible. Lawrence, Chris and Yvonne are the ones who helped us the most with that. We mainly talked to Yvonne, she replied very fast through e-mail and her messages were very straight forward. My husband and I still took a while to get everything done just because we are always so busy, and it really sucks that most of the places we had to go to were only open during work hours, so I can't even imagine how terrible this process would have been if it wasn't because of Lawrence, Chris and Yvonne. I never even saw them in person but I know I can trust them, and once I am able to get citizenship I will definitely hire them again.

Pleased!

My husband and I hired Lawrence R. Holmes for the AOS process. We worked with Yvonne. I live in a different state and was a little apprehensive about dealing with the firm through email, but she was very much a pleasure to work with. Very polite, and very informed. Yvonne told us everything needed fo...r the process, and provided us sources for obtaining different information when I didn't know where to find it. She made sure my husband and I knew just what to expect throughout. I would definitely hire this firm again.

I-130 Visa Journey

My son met and married an amazing young Costa Rican woman while living/working there. When their personal attempt to obtain a visa for her to come to the US was denied, I did not hesitate to research attorneys specializing in this field. It took just one phone call to the office of Lawrence R. Holm...es to make the decision to acquire their services. Our case was immediately assigned to a Paralegal Specialist best suited for my son's and daughter-in-law's needs (I-130 Spousal Visa), who guided us through the entire process. Her professional demeanor and expertise alleviated our fears and reassured us every step of the way. We especially appreciated her patience and timely responses to the multitude of questions, both informative and clarifying, that we bombarded her with during the course of our journey. Suffice it to say that completing the myriad of forms and gathering supporting documentation required and/or requested by all of the agencies involved was overwhelming at times. Relying on our Paralegal Specialist's knowledge and experience afforded us peace of mind in knowing there would be no mistakes, and undoubtedly was the key to our success. My daughter-in-law's visa was approved on November 10th, and on December 1st, she and my son will be on a plane to spend Christmas with me in the states. What more could a mother ask? We are more than satisfied and beyond grateful.

Awesome! No doubt, you need to chose them!

Thanks to Mr Holmes and his wonderful team (big thanks to Yvonne!), I was able to stay in the country and be with my husband! This is priceless! The procedure (AOS) went very well, Yvonne always gave us the clear rules to follow, papers to get, things we need to know for the procedure, etc. They a...re extremely serious and will respond to any of your questions in less than 24 hours I would say. I strongly recommend this lawyer and his team, we were anxious about my legal situation here but they made us feel comfortable and confident, and they were right! Thanks again for your wonderful help and work.
