Although it would’ve been great seeing a bit of Mrs.kelli, because my husband and I NEVER saw her expect once , which was the first day ... Mrs.Allison was FANTASTIC. I couldn’t have asked for more. She was the only one attentive in the whole process in which I needed her help !!! I’m so grateful for her.

"Excellence" must surely be the standard for Kelli Y. Allen Immigration & Elder Law. Upon entering the vibrantly decorated reception area one is aware of the attention to detail and effort to create a welcoming, comfortable atmosphere for clients. Allison (Paralegal) and Denise (Medicaid Coordinator) are exceptionally professional and knowledgeable while also exuding a rare degree of patience and compassion for client concerns. Attorney Kelli Allen has an amazing ability to listen closely to complex issues, analyze carefully and present a solution-based plan in a way that is "client-friendly" (i.e. language that those of us who aren't attorneys can understand!). Work was performed in a timely fashion with great attention to accuracy, detail and professionalism, thus making my entire experience with this firm "Excellent" in every aspect.

Kelli Y Allen Immigration law helped with my Green Card interview process and I successfully obtained my Green Card soon after. I was very impressed by Ms. Kelli and her associates knowledge, professionalism, kindness and endless efforts to help with every step of interview process. I would like to express my special appreciation to attorney Kelli, paralegal/office administrator Allison Feliciano and receptionist Mariela "Mari" Morales, who were extremely helpful in my case. They always made me feel at home. Thank you! I would very much recommend this firm to anyone.

I would LOVE to recommend this law firm to anyone looking to obtain U.S. Citizenship. In 2012 we began our jouney with Kelli, Allison and team. It was a tough case since we started off with my husbands deportation process. Thankfully Kelli was able to help my husband stay. No greencard yet... Our case took till this year 2018 because since the beggining it was complicated. It was errors from us that put us behind. Things like police encounters w/the hubby, tickets also missing documents, etc. No matter what Allison and Kelli were ALWAYS on top off the case. If they didn't here from us they would call. The process started moving faster it seems now. In the end my husband and I got to Ciudad Juarez and he was granted APPROVAL. Thank God and Kelli and Allison we were able to come back HOME. We just recently recieved my husbands Green card. What an achievment. My husband had never gone home since he came to the U.S. in 2001. 17 years later he found himself back there. Becuase of these wonderful women (Kelli and Allison) he's able to come and go as he pleases. One thing is for sure, after so long of getting to meet them we're going to really miss them. They have become a part of us and forever it will be like that. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

From the day that I called and spoke with Christopher to make an appointment to meet with Kelli and later her paralegal Denise I knew that I had made the right choice. Denise was always there to ensure that I had all of the pertinent information and forms. I was able to put my anxiety to rest in trying to help my sister. I would highly recommend the Kelli Y. Allen law firm for assistance with elder law.

I was having to sort out affairs for my mother going into a health care facility. Another attorney in Concord, NC recommended Kelli Y. Allen to me. I called and spoke with Christopher on 12/12/2019 and was scheduled to meet with Kelli on 12/16/2019. I only have a short time to get things in works on my mom's behalf. I left the office of Kelli Y. Allen with peace of mind and knowing the direction that I need to take to get things taken care of. Thanks for all your help. I am grateful to have found you. Chose this firm for your elder care law needs.

My family and I hired Kelli Allen few years ago. Although we only saw Mrs. Kelli once. Mrs. Allison has been the one working with us the whole entire time. Words can’t explain how thankful I am to Allison, who is not only an amazing paralegal, but is also an extremely nice person, who takes time and listens to your issues and problems to offer solutions. Every time I spoke to her she gave me the best possible advice and helped me in any way that she could. My family and I are very thankful for her hard work and dedication.

** UPDATE**
This firm has changed drastically since their top notch paralegal, Allison Feliciano left. It has been a nightmare dealing with their "new personnel". For starters, I emailed the attorney directly requesting a scanned copy of my recent submission of paperwork. She NEVER responded. I had to follow-up with her a month later. Shortly after I received an email from a woman who told me that Kelli had said that I needed to pay $100 to receive a copy of my file.
Not only was this the most ridiculous thing I had ever heard, but I have been a client since 2013. My entire family has been her clients. After paying her thousands of dollars, she had the audacity to try to charge me money to SCAN my paperwork. I quickly contacted the NC State Bar, and they informed me that this is not ethical. Clearly, this firm is trying to squeeze every little dime people have. After several emails back and forth with new staff, she emailed 8 little pages that were old and nothing to do with my newly filed paperwork. I'm still waiting on my documents.

Honestly, this firm was highly sought after because of her paralegal, Allison. I knew this would happen when she left. I'm so disappointed with the new level of customer service.

Worst experience ever ! They take up your case for money even if they don’t know about it. They won’t even guide you in a proper way and yet charge you. Waste of time and investment. All they care about is money! They are not even worth 1 star!!!
All they did was asked me for few documents and rearranged them alphabetically and sent it back to me and they took 4 months to do this. They charged me 1200$ for filling one form , they dint even fill it properly and completely. They put wrong information on it even after providing all details . I had to revise the entire form.
Even after providing everything they asked for, and following up for months and following every instruction they told me to , they ended up saying I misplaced documentation they sent me, when I dint. When I called USCIS asking guidance on how to proceed further and explained them about my scenario and what this attorney did , they are like I am not even supposed to do what she told me to ! How can this attorney jus get defensive instead of agreeing she dint know how to handle my case !
I am more disappointed for my time and faith I initially had on them , also $3k Which I paid for nothing .

*Update* My husband and I decided to hire this firm to handle his 2-year home-stay waiver. On the day of our consultation we handed off our documents and I filled out all of the necessary paperwork. The only required document that hadn’t been submitted on the day of our consultation was my husband’s affidavit (which we were required to write on our own), and we were told that the application process would only take 2-3 weeks to complete once all of the documents were received. I sent the affidavit in at the end of December, and received word that it was on the attorney’s desk in January. About a month or so later, I received an email claiming that they did not have any of our personal documentation (marriage certificate, birth certificates, etc) or the questionnaire on file. When I called a few moments after receiving the email, I was told that they actually DID have our documents but did not have the questionnaire. I later received another email from the lady our case was handed over to a few days prior saying that there was simply a miscommunication pertaining to the paperwork. The paperwork had in fact never really been misplaced, and they'd only emailed a request for us to send them again just in case the documents were not in the file when the newly hired worker had a chance to begin working on my husband's case. I generally feel as if we deserved more communication from this establishment. We were never contacted by their office to update us on anything until after I pressed for answers. I was in tears when I called their office the last time, and my dispirited state was met with little regard or understanding from their office as if there was nothing their side could've handled better. My husband and I were doubtful that this firm would even handle our case without bias after what happened, but they have since submitted my husband's waiver form that was completed in a rather timely fashion after the extensive initial wait. The new member of their team that was assigned our case about three months ago, Alexis Sylvester, has at least dealt with my husband and his mother with some level of warmth and kindness, so I am grateful for her efforts to amend the situation. She has worked diligently on the case, and always responds speedily to my husband's emails.

Overall, I would only recommend this firm to families that are not dealing with time sensitive issues. We were initially told that the application would have been completed 2-3 weeks after we'd furnished them with all necessary paperwork, but our case was not started until about 2-3 months after we'd met these requirements. Communication is also a bit delayed, as you should expect an average wait time of about two business days for a response to all emails. However, it may be worth hiring this firm if your issue is not time sensitive and you wish, as I did, to support an all woman establishment.

(Translated by Google) I do not recommend it, I paid in advance so that they would put more effort into their work but it was a serious mistake, the last ones ended up saying that it was my fault that my process could not move forward, I asked to see the lawyer to see what would happen with my case and they told me that I did not have time to just send an email (all the time it was like that it was always only by email just look at the lawyer once in two years) at the end I asked for a refund and all my documentation but They did not want to give me anything back and, on top of that, they wanted to charge me for the copies of my file. TERRIBLE SERVICE! Hispanics do not trust them they make you believe that they will help you in everything but in the end you do all the work, do not trust them, do not be fooled.

(Original)
No lo recomiendo, yo pague por adelantado para que así pusieran mas empeño en su trabajo pero fue un grave error, a las últimas terminaron diciendo que era mi culpa que mi proceso no pudiera avanzar, pedi ver a la abogada para ver qué iba a pasar con mi caso y me dijeron que no tenía tiempo que solo le enviara un correo electrónico(todo el tiempo fue así siempre fue solo por correo electrónico solo mire a la abogada una vez en dos años) al final pedí un reembolso y toda mi documentación pero no me quisieron devolver nada y para colmo me querían cobrar las copias de mi archivo. PÉSIMO SERVICIO! Hispanos no confíen en ellas te hacen creer que te van ayudar en todo pero al final uno hace todo el trabajo, no confíen en ellas, no se dejen engañar.

After 5 years with my green card, Kelly Y Allen Immigration Law helped me in the process to get the citizenship and everything went according to my expectations and in the time they told me we will finish the process successfully when we started the paperwork.
I fully recommend them as an excellent and profesional team.
Allison Feliciano was in charge of both my cases and she did an excellent job. I appreciate her full support and I thank her for helping me.

I received Kelly Y Allen Immigration Law support to get my Green Card and the service they provided to me was very professional and focused to achieve the objective. Everything went according to the expectations and I received the Green Card 6 months after we made the application. I fully recommend this office to people that need an Immigration Office to help them during these kind of processes. I thank Kelly Y Allen Law and congratulate them for their great service.

Thank you: Kelly, Allison, Denise, Mari and all Kelly Y. Allen Immigration Law staffing for having supported me in my case since 2015 and it was resolved in a satisfactory manner in February of 2017.

Kelly took my case after a well known attorney rejected it, because she did not find enough evidence to solve it. Kelly's staffing explained to me the steps of my legal process; the way we would work to be convincing; and their prices were very reasonable.

Thank you Kelly Y. Allen Immigration Law for your professionalism and patience. You are an essential part of this great change in my life. I hope to continue working with you soon because this is still not the end.

God bless you,

Manuel A. Perez

Excellent experience, easy to talk to, answers questions, extremely knowledgeable, total commitment to her clients. We have had Kelli and her staff help us do an asset protection plan and get us approved for my mother's medicaid application. I was very relieved I met her at the Alzheimer's walk.

In a time that was scary and confusing. Kelli Allen and staff, did everything in their power to give me clarity and unwavering support. I would recommend Kelli Allen immigration Law to anyone needing help for themselves or loved ones!! With their help and knowledge I was able to bring the lives of my husband and I together. I could not have asked for a better team of people. Allison was there anytime I had a question or just needed a person to lean on emotionally. At no time did I feel like just a random person paying for services. They were more like a part of my family that cared just as much about reuniting my husband and I as fast as possible. I trust them with everything in me, and know that truly care about every person they deal with. Thanks to everyone there!! I am eternally grateful!!

Ms. Allen and the staff is very professional. I never had a problem with them. I always got the reply to my queries with 48 hours, something most attorney in the immigration field don't do. They were extremely helpful and on point. Helped me gather all my documents and guided me step by step. Very affordable. I highly recommend her and she has a vast experience in family immigration and related issues.

We drove 4 hours to meet with Kelly Y. Allen for a consultation regarding my immigration situation. Our consultation lasted less than one hour as she knew exactly what needed to be done. Since we lived so far away, we did everything through email and phone calls and it worked out perfectly. Once the paperwork was submitted to USCIS, we got a response fairly quickly and in the end a favorable outcome! I am thankful to Kelly Y. Allen and her staff (Mari and Allison) for their great customer service and diligence in working with their clients. I recommend this law firm to anyone seeking immigration legal advice.

I HIGHLY recommend Kelli Y Allen Immigration Law Firm!!! I was working overseas when I met my husband who is from Morocco and we got married. My mother, still back in the states, found Kelli Allen in Charlotte NC and was convenient as we are from NC. I started working with Kelli and Allison the paralegal going through the process. Yes the process is long and tedious however, Kelli and Allison made it so easy. We provided the information and they put everything together and did the hard work for us. It was so easy working with them even when I was still in the Middle East. The process took about 13 months but my husband got his visa the first go around! We would still be working on this process if it hadn't have been for this Immigration Law firm! Not only are they good at what they do, they are extremely nice and professional and willing to work hard on your case! If you are in need of immigration services, please consider Kelli Allen Immigration Law Firm! They are AWESOME!!!!!

I can definitely vouch for Kelli Y. Allen Immigration Law as we had a brilliant experience with them and their service. They are highly organized and professional with all the work they do. I was very confident from the initial consultation, as they knew what they were doing and seemed to have plenty of experience. They handled everything on our behalf which made things for us a lot smoother. Allison was very helpful and professional as she worked with us throughout the process. We live quite far from their office and yet we were pleased with every visit that was made. I would highly recommend their law firm.

I want to thank Kelli, Allison and all the staff for helping me out with my case. My wife and I went through a very complicated immigrant visa process for me to be able to return to the US. I am a proud Colombian but I am even more proud to call America the country where I grew up. To be honest I had doubts that I would be able to come back since our particular case required two waivers and I had been let down by the immigration system in the past. Thanks to Kelli we put together a very solid case even though I was outside of the country. Allison always kept us in the loop and I felt like they had my back at all times. Although it sounds a bit cliche if there is such a thing as the American Dream I tend to find it now and I have Kelli and her team to thank for it.

I would just like to take a moment and say what a pleasure it was working with those at Kelli Allen Immigration Law. From start to finish they were extremely helpful and were always willing to answer any question we had. Allison, the paralegal, is a true gem and such a wonderful person to work with. She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable every step of the way in this very stressful process. I never knew what it would take in order for the man I love to be able to live here in the USA as a resident, but the experience we had with this amazing group was by far superior. If you are in need of immigration services I recommend the Kelli Allen group as they take every client as family.
