I highly recommend Lawrence Holmes as an immigration lawyer.

This is the second time I have used Lawrence Holmes as my immigration lawyer. First when getting a K-1 Visa for my Chinese wife, then again for successfully getting my wife her permanent Green Card. Mr Holmes and his staff have always been responsive, knowledgeable, and kept me informed. I highly rec...ommend Lawrence Holmes as an excellent immigration lawyer that gets results.

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.

This attorney was worth every penny!

My wife is a US citizen and I am a recently approved US permanent resident! After getting spontaneously married, we looked into filing our own visa petitions but it all seemed too complicated (and we each have Masters degrees!). A Google search returned Lawrence R Holmes, an attorney with almost 25 y...ears' experience in the field of obtaining K1 Visas. We noticed that they offered a free consultation so we gave them a call. After that first phone call with Richard Holmes, we were filled with confidence and requested the company's services soon after. Since then, Yvonne, the most friendly paralegal in the world, kept in touch frequently and answered any query we had pertaining to paperwork etc. She described the separate petitions that we would need to file and what evidence we would need for each. She was always very clear about what we had to do in emails and phone correspondence. She held our hands the whole way through the application process and even gave us some advice for our joint interview at the USCIS office. All in all, we were very happy with Lawrence R Holmes. We would recommend them to anyone going through a similar process. The biggest help was their flexibility in rescheduling payments. Whenever we knew that we couldn't make a full payment by a specific date, all we had to do was call and rearrange or split payments into even more smaller/manageable chunks.

TRUSTED AND PROVEN

The team at Lawrence Holmes made my experience a trouble free one. Diana did such a wonderful job, all I had to do was review my documents, signed and showed up for my appointments. she kept me informed every step of the process.
