Peter makes impossible possible

My wife was struck with 212(a)(6)(C)(i) Misrepresentation and ban for 5 years by CBP while entering US after being here for 6 years. It seemed impossible to appeal or overcome this circumstances and our family was separated abruptly. We spent 2 months talking to several law firms and nobody talked p...ositively about appealing the decision. We were advised to appeal for Ban waiver. I happened to search web and found Messersmith Law firm had success in such cases and I immediately called their office. They talked positive and said this is a winnable case. We hired them and what seemed impossible, Mr. Peter Messersmith made it possible. CBP rescinded all charges and my wife was able to obtain a new visa to come back into the country after 18 months. Peter is patient and answered all our questions and scheduled calls when we needed. Strongly recommend Peter Messersmith law firm for your legal needs.

Professional attorney

Mr. Peter Messesmith is very knowledgeable and methodical, and can work on cases that are complicated and not necessarily normal. He approached my case very professionally and asked me to provide all the documents that were needed, prepared everything and presented them in a coherent manner. His ...process successfully worked in my case. He is very responsive and does what he says he will do. He listens to your case, considers your concerns (which I think is very important) and tries to come up with possible solutions that are both feasible and address your concerns. I recommend him if you need legal help with your immigration.

Great Attorney, highly professional

I've succeeded in immigrating to USA. This will not happen without Mr. Messersmith. He is quite professional and gave me a lot of advice. I will definitely recommended the Messersmith Low Firm to anyone who is considering to immigrate to the states.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • 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.
