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.

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.

My family and I had many immigration issues but luckily Peter is our lawyer so everything was resolved successfully! I got a job offer from a company while on an H1B visa. Peter handles all of the immigration cases for my new company. During the H1B transfer process, Peter discovered that my pre...vious company forgot to file change of status for my spouse and three children from F2 to H4 so my spouse and children have been out of status for almost two years. Peter miraculously fixed such complicated cases and got our four H4s and H1B transfer approved in less than two months. Peter later handled my wife's O1 visa and EB1A and green cards for my family. The whole process went great and it took 7 months and one week for us to get our green cards. It was quicker than we anticipated and there were no issues at all. He was very clear on what documents he wants and how we should gather them. He’s extremely helpful throughout the whole process. My family and I are thrilled because Peter made everything possible. We invited my sister and brother in law and their four adopted children to visit us. The visa officer charged my sister and brother in law with INA 212(a)(6)(E) smuggling and INA 212(a)(6)(c)(i) misrepresentation. They were bared for life to enter the US. We retained Peter to help us resolve these issues. Peter diligently handled their cases just like he handled ours. After he filed their cases, it took about 5 months and the government removed both INA 212(a)(6)(E) and INA 212(a)(6)(c)(i) charges from both their record permanently. We’re very grateful for the amazing outcome. My wife is a cancer treatment specialist and saved many people's life. In a way, Peter is the one saving people's life because Peter fixed most difficult issues for us. Otherwise it would be impossible for us to stay here. His assistant Jen is also a very nice lady. I find every opportunity to recommend Peter to friends, co workers and anyone in my church who need immigration services. We are very fortunate to know Peter. We highly recommend him because he fought hard to win our cases and he did. He's the best lawyer!

Peter is the best lawyer I've met before. He guided me step by step to prepare all the materials that USCIS need. Peter is very professional and knowledgeable. Whenever I wrote email to ask him questions, he always responded me so quickly. Most importantly, Peter never gave me non-sense word for a r...eply. He would exactly and clearly tell you what was the key point in your case and which kind of supporting documents you should prepare to strengthen you case. I did hardship waiver, it was not that easy in my case and i didn't have any confidence for that until I met Peter. I will definitely recommend him to my friends and colleagues. If I need a lawyer for immigration case in future, I would come back to him again. He did an excellent job!!! I do appreciate!!
