Overall great experience

We contacted Matthew Glinsmann after reading many excellent reviews online and we were extremely pleased with the caliber of his work. It was clear that he was knowledgeable of the subject matter which put us at ease throughout the process. He provided very detailed information regarding the requirem...ents needed to file our paperwork. If we had questions along the way, he was very responsive to our emails and phone calls and prompt with his responses. Matthew was very professional while being personable which made our experience of working with him stress free. We have already recommended him to others.

"Mr. Glinsmann acted as the AILA liaison to the NBC on behalf of my law firm in a very complex immigration matter implicating the Child Status Protection Act. Mr. Glinsmann spent many hours conferring with the Lead Attorney at our office, Alexander V. Bibicheff, and speaking with the Immigration Services Officer at the NBC. Thanks to Mr. Glinsmann's extraordinary efforts, we received results far beyond expectations."
