The Best Attorney

My case was stalled for more than 3 years and I was referred to the law firm where Mr. Messer work. He was assigned to my case and he came up with a solution I’ve never hear before which did exists. Within 2 weeks my case was upgraded to premium processing. I’m so excited and very thankful to him. ...For your immigration issues, I highly recommend Mr. Messer and if you have a complicated case, you definitely want to hire this attorney.

I'm so happy for you! Our lawsuit against USCIS got an interview date set quickly. This is an underutilized way to speed up delayed applications for asylum, green cards, citizenship, and other immigration benefits.

Excellent Lawyer

Another lawyer referred us to Benjamin Messer, and we feel grateful and lucky to have been working with him. From the first phone call, he has been exceptionally responsive, professional, compassionate, and intelligent. We feel that we chose the best lawyer for a complex case, and have been supported... and heard the entire process. We strongly recommend Mr. Messer's services, and should we need services in the future we will be employing him again.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I worked with Ben for a year at the Law Office of Manuel Rivera. While I was there, I worked with ten different attorneys. He was the most talented of all of them. His knowledge of immigration law was almost like that of an encyclopedia. Also, he was an excellent researcher and often found solutions to seemingly insolvable problems. I highly recommend this lawyer."

  • 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.
