Lawrence Richard Holmes

I decided to use Mr Holmes as my lawyer to get a K1 Visa for my fiancee in China based on his claims on his web site of being the best with Chinese K1 visas. After receiving a "request for evidence" due to USCIS claiming her divorce decree is not sufficient, Diana told me all I needed to do is get an...other divorce decree to send to them because her divorce dicree is good. After some months we receive a "denial" notice from USCIS saying there is not enough proof she is divorced. At this point Diana does not know what I can do. I asked several times to speak with Mr Holmes with no luck. I have not spoke to Mr Holmes through this whole process. My only communication thus far had been with Diana. At this point I have know idea what to do. Dianna suggests I hire a lawyer in China to get the correct divorce papers. But she had told me the whole time we HAD the correct papers. I finally got to speak with Mr Holmes. He also suggested I hire a lawyer in China. But why do that? I hired Mr Holmes firm. He tells me he does not know what documents I need. WHAT? I then ask for half of my money back because he obviously does not know what needs to be done and in turn did not uphold his part in his "contract". He gets very rude, says "it's not gonna happen". He told me to "get the correct documents and I will send them in". I asked what do I need to get? He says "I don't know. Hire a lawyer in China to get what you need". I asked for my money back again. He said "I can see we are not going anywhere with this" and hung up on me. I found another lawyer (in the USA) who knew what the problem was. I would not recommend Mr Holmes law firm for Chinese visas.

Contacted the attorney, Chris was very nice on the phone, explaining how he will handle the case. After they have received payment, the matter was passed down to a low end paralegal (Kareema), that has very little knowledge in the matter, but since the case was "delegated" to her, there was nothing t...o be done. After the case was granted additional time for an appeal, this law office decided to do a little of extortion. Knowing of the deadline, they have demanded more money in order to file the case. You decide if their other reviews are real, 100% success? i think not, not even standing behind their own clients - is shameful . You decide or if you want them to take up your case, if i were you pick another office with real reviews, and check forums as i am doing now :/, live and learn.
