Peter Messersmith

Messersmith law firm is an excellent immigration law firm. Peter and Jen worked diligently on my case for successful outcome. They greatly helped with letters of recommendations, and collection of other documents. They promptly respond to any emails and questions. Overall, they are doing great servic...e for scientists and engineers by helping them realize their american dream.

Peter and his team are super efficient! I got my NIW-green card approved in less than a year! He worked super hard and efficient during the covid pandemic to craft a great application and we got it approved! I really thought that my chances were minimal (due to the lack of my PhD publications), but t...hanks to his work and the application that he prepared- I am now a permanent resident!! I am so so grateful to both Peter and his paralegal Jen for their quick responses, discussions and and replies to my emails. It was a great pleasure working with them!

Peter, is the best immigration lawyer I have known. 3 years back when I was looking to file for my EB1A immigrant visa I came across Peter's profile based on the reviews I read. I hired him, he and Jen were very helpful throughout the process. They were always reachable by call/emails . All queries ...were resolved. He was very particular about recommendation letters. Finally, my case was filed and my I-140 approved. I completed my consulate interview and got my immigrant visa stamped. Peter and Jen guided me throughout the process. I landed in the US and got my physical card within 120 days. kudos to Peter and Jen for helping me out with my immigration. Yes, I would definitely recommend Peter. He does charge a bit on the higher side. But, rest assured your case would be handled by the best lawyer.

Four years ago, my wife and I solicited The Messersmith Law Firm services, desperate to find not only assistance in our case, but mainly an honest legal counsel who would at least truly give some consideration to the situation we were experiencing. My wife was a J1 recipient which subjected her to t...he infamous non negotiable two year restriction rule. In other words, upon completion of her program she was due to immediately return to her home country for a period of two years before being able to apply for residency in the US. As one can imagine, that clause brought a tremendous amount of uncertainty, anxiety, fear of not knowing what to expect. We then looked for preliminary counsel only to be told very quickly, abruptly that the case was not worth to represent, that it would be IMPOSSIBLE to be granted the needed waiver that would allow my wife and I to remain together without having to leave, shatter our life as we knew it. According to them, she had 180 days to depart from the United States and were strongly advised to start making arrangements. One can only understand the devastation and heartbreak felt. One avid internet search pointed at the Messersmith Law Firm's information. Jen Ren, the firm's paralegal responded promptly and by the tone of the first correspondence, there was an inexplicable feel of "calm", as if things were going to be just fine. Very shortly after, we scheduled our fin person appointment with Peter Messersmith in his office; a fine professional individual, personable, expert in his field with an extensive track record handling similar cases. He never promised anything unrealistic, to the contrary he was clear, always precise so we would not build false expectations. The journey was NOT impossible, but there was of course a possibility that in the end, despite all the financial and time investment, the case could still be denied and fail. It was far more promising to us than the previous pessimism and refusal we had experienced. It is THAT honesty, THAT willingness to not only take the case but to truly represent us and fight for it no matter what the outcome would be that made us retain his services on the spot and entrust him with our "fate". The very journey was going to be filled with anxiety, unknown, long wait, status checks, etc. Every step of the process was accounted for, handled promptly without any delay. Jen was an absolute life saviour in those multiple instances reassuring us that in the end all will be well and that there was absolutely no reason to worry, being Peter's extended eyes. It felt amazingly great each time we would check in via phone, even if it was to say hello as we were waiting. Peter is not the average immigration lawyer, working by the book, and on the ticking clock. He is an informed professional, genuinely knows the intricacy of the system, states facts and does his research. His rates are absolutely reasonable, no hidden fees, no surprises and at no point the focal attention. Everything is precisely laid out ahead to fully understand what is expected. Peter and Jen, through their stellar expertise, allowed my wife to remain in the country legally, to maintain her career, and after thousands of case status checks, refreshes, on a daily basis, we got the decisive news. The best gift one could wish for. The waiver was granted by both agencies and consequently the Green Card issued. We would never be able to thank them both enough for everything. Thank you sincerely Peter and Jen for everything you have done to make this happen, and above all, thank you for your friendship. To those of you who are in need of legal counsel and feel lost or desperate, I simply say "The Messersmith Law Firm". A true and honest firm, subject expert in the field of immigration law, period!!!! We would dare to say the IMPOSSIBLE IS POSSIBLE!!! Good luck to all dealing with immigration related issues. S and A
