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!!

Highly Competent Firm

Totally enjoyed working with the Lawrence Holmes law firm. From the initial call with Chris, and being assigned and working with Danielle throughout the process, it was great experience. This is quite a tedious process, a lot of patience is required navigating all the approvals, and Danielle wa...s always the calm in the storm, always professional, competent, responsive, I could not have asked for anything more. More than anything I felt I was in good hands with this firm, and I could sleep easy knowing that all was going to work out OK. And it did. Would highly recommend their services.

K1 Visa review

Everything went very smoothly. My contact, Yvonne, was very knowledgeable and responsive. There was a lot of paperwork so having an experienced expert do it for me was well worth the cost.

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.
