Best attorney

I have no words to say, they were very helpful, knowledgable, affordable and most important....patient with me. I highly recommend them for any immigration service.

Immigration

When my (now) foreign husband and I decided to get married, we knew this was going to be a tough process. I knew I wanted to find someone, who had lots of experience and reasonable priced. After searching for a few months and interviewing several Lawyers, I came across Larry's, (Mr Holmes), K1visa,... web site. I sent in my contact information and with in 1 or 2 days, I got a call back. Not from the secretary or other office staff, but from Larry Himself. He was personable, and took his time to answer my dozens of questions. When we finally hired him it was about a year later. I sent him an email, re-introducing myself, and he picked up the phone and called me. He told me then, ANYTIME I had any questions just call. I really like the organization of this office. With each step in the process, we were given a "To Do" list,, in which we followed to the letter. This is very precise, and takes good record keeping on your part, but I cannot stress the importance of doing this, as they lay it ALL out for you. It will save you time and money in the future. Larry and Diana ( our contact), delivered as promised! We started the Process July 7, 2016 and my fiance arrived May 9th, 2018. Less than 1 year! We were married May 23rd, 2017. Coming to America for my husband is a still on-going process, and we will continue to hire Mr. Holmes and his team for each step. He was just approved for his 2 year green card, on Oct 16th, 2018. Our next step will be in 2 years, when we file for "Permanent" resident, and I will hire Larry and Diana again. Thanks again Larry and Diana!

Invaluable advice for a great price

My husband and I hired Lawrence R Holmes Immigration Attorney in January 2017, as we prepared to leave Dubai to move to the U.S.. My husband is a U.S. citizen, I am a U.K. citizen and we met in Dubai almost 6 years ago. Having tried to learn about the immigration process for myself and feeling comple...tely lost as to how we were going to navigate through this, we made the decision to hire an attorney and I am so glad we did. Diana was a huge help to us over the course the of the year, providing clear and coherent advice and always efficient in her response to our many, many questions. We also believe their services were great value for money, when we think about what we paid against the level of support we received over a 12 month period. I dread to think how difficult this would have been without their help and am happy to say we are now settling in nicely into life in the U.S. together.

Yvonne needs a raise! ;)

We have been using this law firm since 2014. First for a conditional green card and then for the removal of status. From the moment we called Lawrence we knew we were in good hands. He asked us about the situation and gave us the solution and how much it would cost. We were assigned Yvonne which have... helped us with both cases and and you couldn't meet a more wonderful paralegal ever. She understands you, have greatly patience and answers all emails and questions promptly. We are re-hiring them for naturalization because they and especially Yvonne are the BEST! We are based out of Los Angeles and we couldn't have found a better lawyer anywhere.

Wife obtained Change of Status to become Permanent Resident

We retained Larry to guide my wife through change of status to obtain green card. Our case took 2 years because of complications on our end. Throughout the entire process we always received quick replies, solid advice, and full attention of Larry and his paralegal Diana. They made the process as good... as it could be given the requirement of USCIS. We consider the fee money well spent and have recommended their services to others in need.
