Excellent and Reliable lawyer

We have several cases for EB2 + H1B for our team and I can assure you Peter and his team has been excellent so far. We switched from another firm and it was the best decision we have made. Thank you for all your great work and commitment Peter and the team!

I got my O-1 visa approved within a week

I was recommended to Peter’s law firm by my best friend, who had her H1B paperworks prepared by Peter and his associate, Erin, and got her H1B approved the same year. I was working as a freelancer and my line of work mostly stays within the creative department so O-1 visa was a more appropriate optio...n for me. Before going to Peter’s, I reached out to 4 different law firms that are well-known for their high successful rate of O-1 visa obtainment and was rejected by all 4 of them. Keep in mind that O-1 is one of the most difficult visa categories to obtain, unless you’re famous actors/singers/artists that have multiple winning awards and publications. Peter gave me a step-by-step instruction to meet all the requirements for the O-1, which includes all the mitigations of staying within status to make sure my application get approved safe and sound without any scrutinies. It took me a whole year to gather all necessary documents. They sent out my application on the 7th of December and I got the notice of approval on Dec 15th, a week from the sending date. I’m very grateful for Peter and Erin’s helps during this whole process. They were very attentive to any issues that I had concerns about and made it less painful for me. I would 100% recommend their law firm for anyone who’s looking to obtain their work visa.

Great Experience and Very Knowledgable

Peter helped my wife and I navigate the treacherous waters of USCIS. His colleague Erin was also incredibly responsive and always answered our questions in a timely manner. I have already referred him to a friend of mine who is about to cross the same bridge I did. We are very grateful that we hired ...Peter. We would have been lost without him.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
