Peter Messersmith

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.

Absolutely the best, most professional experience ever, I was very lucky to hire this law firm. Peter and Jen were highly professional at work and do get optimistic results. I was referred to him through one of my friends, though I approached many lawyers for my EB1 he proved to be the best one. Pete...r went through my resume and gave me confidence that I can get approved through my I140 and NIW. He and Jen guided me from the start of application till the approval of my cases and stood on his words. Bingo!! me and wife got the green card. I highly recommend Peter Messermith and will certainly do his best to get your case approved.

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

The best Law firm I know. I am very satisfied with the professional service I've received. Also, they do not treat you just as clients but they go above that and treat you as a FAMILY. Peter and Jen were always available for any questions I had and treated me as a family. I was always informed and gu...ided with the slightest detail you can imagine. I still remember my first call in a parking lot where I was tense about my case. But Peter knew exactly and how to proceed with the problems I was facing. I would definitely recommend him to anyone and everyone. He definitely knows what to do and how to do it and was very clear what my options were when I first had a conversation with him. I personally have never met him and all the conversations were on the phone or e-mail, but I TRUST him and here I am, got my L1A approved. Thank you Peter and Jen. You guys are amazing and the BEST.

I got attorney Peter Messersmith's name from my best friend. Attorney Peter Messersmith applied for an NIW through entrepreneur for my best friend. It was supposed to be really hard to get such cases approved but he got it approved quickly for my friend. My best friend only has great things to s...ay about attorney Peter Messersmith and told me that if there is one lawyer who can get my case approved it would have to be him. My boyfriend and I came to the US on L1 visas but our employer can't sponsor us for EB1C green cards. I heard about EB1A but I know that it's super hard to secure an approval. We scheduled a time to speak to attorney Peter Messersmith. He explained to us about the process and told us that my boyfriend had a better case and my case was not good. You can tell from talking to him that he's an expert in this area. Since we do not plan to get married anytime soon so we plan to apply separately. I asked attorney Peter Messersmith to take my case and I want to give it a try and I will not blame him in anyway if it doesn't go well. He said that the only possibility for a positive result is that we work together and produce as many supporting documents as possible. We each signed an agreement right after we spoke to him. We were happy that he doesn't charge hourly. He sent us a lot of materials after we signed up. We followed all of his instructions and listened every single advice from him. The help we received from him is priceless. He returned all of our many phone calls and responded to all of our many emails. He’s a big name lawyer but he never ignored us. His secretary was very nice too. My boyfriend got his documents quicker than mine so his case was filed one month before mine. His case was approved in 4 months and my case was approved about 6 and half months. Neither of us received a request for more evidence. The services we received were exceptional and were above and beyond our expectations. If you want a lawyer who can get your case approved, he’s the one! He diligently worked on our cases personally throughout the whole process. Attorney Peter Messersmith is an extraordinary lawyer! He's the one who can help you achieve your immigration dreams!
