I have to start off by thank Otis and his whole team! Me and my family will always be grateful. I had a complex case but of the tons of lawyers I went to, Otis actually listened to the small details and gave me options with good and bad outcomes that could happen. Once agreed, everything went well, no issues at all. Also, Norberto the paralegal was really patient in my never ending questions :). I would highly recommend this law firm, don't try to save money in these kinds of of matters, higher a team of qualified attorneys read more

The worse immigration lawyers. My mom paid off everything and they don't do anything about her case. Multiple lawyers take over her case none of them know exactly what's going on they always ask the same questions. We find out news through mail rather than them. We have to call to ask for updates. Please don't go to them it's a waste of time and money. read more

I want to start off by saying that we completed two cases with this these people. The first one was great and we had no problems. The second one we've had a multitude of problems including them giving us false information, withholding important information regarding our case that should've been known from the very beginning and the fact that our case has been tossed around to different attorneys since we started, which turns to another problem when they get our information mixed up and we have to correct them constantly. Another problem is their attitude of their workers, the job feels rushed and feels like they don't want to help us based on the way they choose to speak to us or that they are judging and speaking down to us. After paying around 15k for this service, it seems they are trying to find any excuse to not move on and they present themselves as a scam. Moreover, as another review stated, you have to chase them. They make phone appointments but then cancel or simply don't call, we've had to call them for scheduled appointments just to get a 5 min phone call with hardly any information. We've had scheduled in person appointments where the worker wasn't even present at the office and we've had to get on a zoom call with them, which defeats the whole purpose of our traveling to the office. After they take your money, they like to waste your time and blame it on you. read more

Very organized, excellent communication, trustworthy and transparent. They help me with my green card and I asked them to help me applying for Naturalization procedures. I'm thankfull for all the team who works very hard to help us achieve our dream. Special thanks for Otis. I recommend Landerholm Immigration for anyone who wants any Immigration Services. read more

Pague por el servicio , se converso pero jamás volvieron a responder a pesar que les contacte numerosas veces.

Not even an email with a few words. Do you guys yourself at Landerholn think what happened has been ethical? Happy Thanksgiving.

THEY STOLE 4.000$ from me, my name is Mauricio Velez, in 2022 I hired Landerholm Immigration services, the first appointment a lawyer named Flabio hyper friendly super confident said that my case was easy and was a piece of cake, I paid 4k and the rest was paid in installments, the only time they were puntual was collecting the money, I had to chase them around asking for updates, they never gave me an update unless I call every single month, they always have an excuse (btw there staf members are always sick) After a year of cat and mouse game we finally got serious and ready to send my case to USCIS, well I had a meeting with Mitchell another attorney, SURPRISE she said I dont think we can submit your case looks like Flavio and the whole team were overconfident and missed several things, THEY CALL THEMSELVES EXPERTS all those paralegals, attorneys, all those extra pairs of eyes and no one catch those little details, anyway, they could not submit my case, and they should not have gotten my case in the first place, I cut my losses, ask them for a refund, I waste a year of my time, well in my face they told me that despite their mistake, they put some effort in my case and they refund me only 4.000$, I paid more than 8.000$ and you know that for an immigrant that is a lot of money. They gave me a check for 4k and a folder with supposedly all the work they did, photocopies of my documents, and copies of the statement that another attorney did on my asylum case, and they didn't do anything. They charged me 4.000$ for a bunch of photocopies of my documents, the most expensive photocopies in my life. I lost a year worth of my time I lost 4.000$ and the most important thing I cant no send my case to USCIS because of them, and the deadline was passed Never ever, ever trust this firm again, they are very punctual at taking your money but when you need them, if they are not sick they will kick the ball with stupid excuses until you get tired and frustrated. My name is Mauricio Velez Tobon, and my phone number is 510.3699850 I can send you proofs of my payments and the emails I exchanged with those guys, I can show you the messages where the owner admitted that they underestimated my case, and he going to refunded only 1/2 of the fees because the put some work on it, and to me that is stealing your hard-earned cash when someone takes 4k from you just to give you a bunch of photocopies. read more

I wouldn't recommend this place. So unprofessional. I wanted to petition my husband. They wanted me to pay 14k for their services which we agreed because they seem professionals and trustworthy at the beginning. They told us that if my husband gets jailed they would help him out at no cost. Two years passed and my husband got arrested I called them right away and they refused to take my husband out of jail and told me to contact another lawyer. my husband got out of jail without any charges. We waited for ottis to contact us which he never did after a year we contacted them again and we found out that ottis decided not to work on our case and drop the our case with out notice we complained and he told us that he would take our case again. We paid off EVERYTHING and when we were done paying him he told us that he decided not to proceed with our case again. We requested our money back because he didn't work on our case he threw a check for 4K at the table and spoke to us in a very condescending tone. He made us lose 10k in nothing. He claimed that they employed work in my case which they never did Please go somewhere else don't get services with them! read more

Well-deserved 5-star review! We worked with Landerholm Immigration for ~ 2 years and they put us at ease the entire way. The staff was professional, caring, understanding, and extremely good at communicating whenever we had questions about the process, political changes in the US, or our own personal questions. They have folks that speak Spanish, Portuguese, and probably a few other languages too. Thank you so much Alan, Janaina, Sarahi, Ana, Manuel, Norma, and anyone else that helped us. read more

Barely Passable. Quick to take my money. communication far and few between, stumbled into success in the case. Didn't have the decency to get my name correct when I broached the subject, never bothered to reply. Your money is better spent somewhere they can get basics like your name correct. read more

my experience with otis and all Landerholm crew is top of the best, they take care for every things that we concern about it, we are very lucky to find them, we got every things done for our case, we highly recommend Landerholm Immigration, specially Otis Landerholm and Michelle Smith From my family and I thank you so much for all the work that you did for us read more

As a victim of sexual assault, domestic violence, at the mercy of US immigrant employment laws and US immigration laws, I was convinced that I had no option but to give up on living my American Dream!

He's young, energetic (very important to work w/Immigration court appearances) extremely responsive, professional and very knowledgeable & savvy. After he generously spent time with me sharing his approach I knew my friend's Dad could not be in better hands. We are in the process of having Otis represent him and he is so relieved to find someone trustworthy, competent and HONEST! THANKS OTIS ! read more

We had been to several lawyers before meeting with Mr Otis Landerholm. We found him very approachable and explained our case to us and thought we had a good chance of being successful. We were successful i now have my Green Card. Mr Landerholm and his staff well all approachable communicative professional. If we had a question they were unsure of they would research and get back to us with the answer. We did not live close to the office but with social media such as Skype we conducted virtual office meetings. We are so happy we used his office and his staff on the advice of friends of ours who were also successful. It is a long process and patience and tolerance had to be shown on both sides as well as a nice sense of humor. Thank you. read more

Otis and his fantastic staff have been very professional . We searched many lawyers before choosing Landerholm and we believe we made the best choice. read more

I initially approached Landerholm Immigration on a consultation basis regarding a green card process. Upon learning about the steps, Mr. Landerholm presented an additional option that would facilitate my green card process. Thanks to their expertise, my advance parole was approved within one month. On those grounds, I sought his assistance again, to finally process my green card application, which was done so in a timely fashion. Now I wait. read more

I want to share my feeling of a huge relieve and gratitude after speaking with Otis regarding my unique situation. This started with his assistance 'Christy' who carefully took time to evaluate my situation and quickly made arrangement so I can speak/consult directly with Otis on a quick basis. Thank you so much Christy!!! My conversation with Otis was solely on the phone from U.K. and the first time speaking with him...but amazingly, I was very comfortable explaining my situation and asking questions. I could sense that he clearly understood my situation by all his responses, which gave me a great confidence immediately. He was also very generous with his time and very patient by covering all basis of my options. He was proactive (impromptu) researching the information and he guided me through - for actions and steps that I can follow. The first consultation meeting with Otis was beyond my expectation and gained total TRUST. Otis stands for people and he will have contunued success. Cheers :-) Mina read more

Knowledgeable, confident and welcoming attorney! Dealing with Mr. Landerholm was very exciting for me. His deep and always current knowledge in the area of immigration as well as his welcoming friendliness are qualities I would describe as magnetic to any potential client. Not all attorneys..., in fact, few attorneys posses these qualities which were the main reason I hired Mr. Otis Landerholm to handle my immigration matter. Landerholm Immigration is an immigration law firm that understands the ins and outs of the U.S. immigration law. What I especially liked about this firm is their neat organization. They approach the case or an immigration matter in an organized and structured way that is based on a legal strategy tailored specifically to a client's situation. As it is known that two minds are better than one, Landerholm Immigration handles the clients' immigration matters as a whole team as opposed to when they are handled by a single attorney who barely finds a time to pay a proper attention to details. I was very satisfied with the way they organized necessary documents as well as all the papers and the format it was filed with USCIS. Every stage of the progress was examined and supervised by Mr. Landerholm himself. And the paralegal assigned to me, Mr. Miles, always professionally maintained a communication and correspondence with me regardless of the fact that I was located in a different state which was no hinder to a process at all. Another considerable point to mention about Landerholm Immigration is the payment method. As opposed to many law firms who charge either the whole sum at once or half right in the beginning and the rest after a while, Landerholm Immigration offers the monthly installment based payment which makes the payment for legal services possible to handle. Even though my immigration matter has come to an end with successful results, I do intend to maintain a further contact with Mr. Landerholm and the Landerholm Immigration in general, should I have anything to do within any of my immigration matter here in the U.S. Thank you Mr. Landerholm and the whole team for all of your efforts and professional legal service. Sincerely, Your Client read more

Their hard work and dedication are truly appreciated. I thank him and his great team: Hector Vega, Norberto Soto, Jazmin Pena, and all Landerholm team for their excellent assistance and effort to bring my case to a close. I wish you all the best! read more

The Landerholm group is such a special team of people. The courtesy, consideration and swiftness with which they took up my case is truly admirable.When I was completely clueless in what steps I should take in removing conditions restricting my green card after a very stressful transition, they and Otis especially was greatly helpful. His kind yet straight forward honesty coupled with his knowledge and experience made my journey towards achieving my personal and professional growth a real possibility; by fully explaining my circumstance and choices of action, he made my experience with the DHS simple and uncomplicated. I wish them all the success in their endeavors, for all the work that they do is of the grandest of good. read more
