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.

An attorney who knows his job inside and out!

I was extremely happy with contacting the office of Lawrence Holmes for guidance and assistance with the change of status process for my wife. I was really lucky in my internet search to come up with attorney Holmes' name. When we spoke on the phone, he gave me all the time I needed to ask my million... questions. I never felt rushed or that I was getting bogus answers. He explained the process clearly and didn't even pressure me to use his services. I decided to use his services because there were so many forms to complete and a lot of steps to go through. Any mistake or omission I might have made would have resulted in delays and submitting forms again. It was truly money well spent because attorney Holmes' office know the immigration process inside and out. It was a great joy and pleasure to work with Yvonne! She always explained everything in great detail and provided a step by step guide as to what's required. She was always very professional, but at the same time friendly, caring, and just wanting to help make everything easy for us. All the information required is spelled out, where I never felt confused about anything that was needed. The forms were completed for me, and all I had to worry about was get the information together that was asked for. The whole adjustment of status process was so efficient that it only took about 3 months from the time Yvonne filed the petition to the time my wife received the green card! I am very happy I contacted attorney Holmes and completely recommend that anyone seeking assistance with immigration issues work with his team! You will not be disappointed!!

Extremely efficient and helpful

This attorney is extremely helpful and answers all questions typically within 24 business hours, most times less. We have been using this attorney throughout our entire process from k-1 to permanent resident and will continue to utilize their services until my husband obtains citizenship. Atty. Holm...es assistant, Diana is especially helpful and has been there for us, calming our nerves and patiently dealing with our endless questions. We are very thankful for the services provided.

For Immigration Expertise and Peace of Mind, Larry and his Staff

Anyone going through the immigration process knows it's complicated, confusing, time consuming and nerve wracking. We thought about possibly doing it ourselves but after having lived it I can tell you definitely hire these folks! They are worth every cent. Seriously, this is the best investment yo...u can make in yourselves and you will have peace of mind. Larry and his team of immigration law experts put all our fears at rest and helped us, step-by-step through the whole process. Even though their office is on the other side of the country, we felt like his staff was right by our side. We had total access to Larry and his staff, especially Yvonne, who answered each question we had with confidence and knowledge time after time. Our interview was smooth sailing and we will have our green card in about 3 weeks! We really needed the expertise we paid for. A complication during my fiancé's entry was incredibly stressful. I called Larry immediately and he gave me the calming advice and reassurance that you just can't put a price on. Spasibo Larry, Yvonne and the entire staff!

Excellent service

Dealing with LAWRENCE RICHARD HOLMES was a wonderful experience. My Paralegal Specialist Trang Nguyen was excellent. They answered all my many, many questions, were very patient with me, and made sure I knew what was going on every step of the way. Their kindness and knowleged that was displayed from... the inital phone call was followed through right to the end , and even still! I would highly recomend using them. They ALWAYS got back to me right away, had everything under controll and made sure I knew what my responsibilities and deadlines were. I will absolutley use them for any future needs.
