Paul Messina

I retained the services of Mr. Messina for two RFE cases (i140 in March of 2020 and in March of 2021 for an i485) both of which required (i) a preponderance of evidence from recognized, credible experts in my field; (ii) in depth supporting documentation that demonstrated real world relevancy and (ii...i) addressing beyond reasonable doubt the merits and efficacy of the various aspects submitted for review and consideration in response to both RFEs. From the initial no-cost consultation it was abundantly clear that Mr. Messina was intensely focused on what the challenges were and any immediate legal underpinnings that would need to become priority areas to be addressed to increase chances of success - all within the time bound limits of the required RFE response deadlines. This was by no means a casual, laissez faire interaction by an individual focused on simply checking the box of another addition to a monthly legal portfolio quota. I ended that consultation confident that if even a fraction of the effort and engagement I just experienced translated itself into the actual client-relationship activity of crafting and compiling the RFE requirements of the first case - that I was about to receive a very high standard of customer service and quality legal support the likes of which a layman’s perception might reasonably conclude was only reserved for a privileged select of society. I immediately arranged to meet and enter into contract for legal services from Mr. Messina. Wasting no time, he got to work immediately and demonstrated a mastery of patiently analyzing the RFE and juxtaposition of the request against my initial documentation to identify gaps, areas for improvement and opportunities to emphasize and ultimately exceed the expectations of every key aspect of the RFE’s expressed queries and concerns. There is an indescribable peace of mind that came with this type of approach from a legal professional. He was also very responsive throughout the process to queries by email, calls, and text. The result of his efforts to ensure everything submitted was validated and fully in line and compliant with guidelines, stipulations and the requirements of the RFE, was a successful outcome in the first instance and one year later his same attitude, professionalism and approach from initiation through completion, also resulted in yet another successful outcome. I have no doubt that if you make an informed decision like I did to proceed with Mr. Messina as my representative, your need for legal consult or retainer for the challenge you are facing will be in capable hands with knowledge, insights and guidance you can depend on.
