Thank you for your help

After an initial conversation with Mr. Holmes, we were assigned Yvonne, one of his Paralegal Specialists, who handled the paper work. She was a pleassure to work with. She was both a tutor, quallity conrtol manager and proactive in reminding us of things to do and what to expect. The preparations of... the forms and needed paperwork were somewhat time consuming , but becouse of her help and guidance the interview process at the Immigration Department went without a flaw We would recommend Mr. Holmes office to anyone who would like a smooth solution to an immigration problem

Holmes made our Green card process simpler

Danielle was very very helpful. She was there with us through each and every step. She made the process simpler for us. She was always reachable. She even called my spouse to calm him down when he was very tensed about the whole green process. She even guided us exactly what is needed to be taken fo...r interview and how to answer the questions. Thank you very much

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.
