Exceptional Immigration Lawyer!

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of working with Scott and couldn't be more satisfied with the service we received. Navigating through the complexities of immigration can be an overwhelming and stressful experience, but Scott made the entire process smooth and seamless. From our first consu...ltation, Scott exhibited a deep understanding of immigration laws and policies. He took the time to listen to our concerns, answered all our questions patiently, and provided us with a clear roadmap of what to expect throughout the process. His expertise and professionalism were truly impressive! One of the things that stood out to me was Scott's responsiveness... Communication is key in immigration matters, and Scott was always prompt in returning calls and emails. We never felt left in the dark, and this level of transparency greatly eased our anxiety during an inherently stressful time. Moreover, Scott demonstrated a high level of attention to detail. Every document was thoroughly reviewed, and he ensured that all necessary paperwork was accurate and submitted on time. This meticulous approach undoubtedly contributed to the success of our case. What truly sets Scott apart is his genuine care for his clients. We felt more like people than just another case. Scott showed empathy and understanding, making a challenging process feel less daunting. In the end, we can confidently say that Scott played a pivotal role in securing a positive outcome for our immigration case. We highly recommend his services to anyone in need of an immigration lawyer who is not only knowledgeable and efficient but also compassionate and client-focused. Thank you Scott (and Miyoung!) for being a true advocate while attending to our needs during our immigration journey! We are truly grateful!! Kasia & Tim

Good Lawyer and good service

I think Mr. Messinger is a good lawyer, I had no issues with him and I intend to use him again in the near future. Very professional and competent in my personal opinion. I have recommended him on numerous occasions and will continue to do so.

Poor value

Before he even asked my name and what I needed, he asked whether I have paid the $75 fee yet. Then provided NO service at all, other than to tell me that "I don't really deal much with this" and "maybe they aren't processing cases at all right now". I asked for my money back, at which point he offere...d to "look into my intake sheet". I instructed him not to, that I don't need his services (since I no longer trusted him to do anything for me), and that I just wanted my money back. He responded that the consultation fee was nonrefundable, that the fee was to "learn about my case" and that unfortunately he can't help everyone who has a consultation. I wonder exactly WHAT "consultation" he is talking about that he felt entitled to take my money for???

Satisfied Client

It was a great experience working with Scott Messinger from Queens Immigration Law. We did not have any issues and I receive my greencard faster than expected! Scott was very responsive to all our questions, and completely help us from day one. We could not have picked a better lawyer to help us thro...ugh this journey! He exceeded our expectations when it comes to client service and was very thorough with our case. He is kind and pleasant to work with. I cannot say enough of the service I received for my immigration case. I highly recommend his services.

the best there is...

Scott Messinger is by far the best immigration lawyer I have ever worked with (and I've had quite a few bad experiences with others). A true professional in every sense of the word. He is patient, attentive, extremely knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable within minutes of meeting him. He... worked hard on my case and guided me through the process with ease and confidence. I was well informed every step of the way. My case was a complicated one, and I was very impressed with Scott's abilities. His fees are affordable and he is highly respected in his field. I have highly recommend Scott to many of my family members and friends and they are ALL as happy as I am with him. I thank Scott for my Green Card and my FREEDOM.
