Mr. Messersmith is the best!

I had the pleasure to work with him on my case, he is so responsive, professional! He helped me obtained both EB1A and NIW greencard when I did not even believe it is doable! Thank you more than I can say!

Best Lawyer for EB1A

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.

Green Card Approval

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.

Very professional and an excellent lawyer!

Peter Messersmith and his paralegal Jen were a delight to work with! As stressful as working on a green card is, they made the entire process as smooth as possible and I really appreciated all their excellent work. I've contacted other lawyers before Peter about my specific NIW case and all of them... felt that I would not be successful due to my lack of publications and citations. But Peter and his firm felt I had a chance, and finally after nearly 2 years, my green card will be arriving in the mail very soon. I definitely recommend the Messersmith Law Firm for anyone with their immigration needs!

Mr

A friend referred me to “Messersmithlaw firm” when I wanted to apply for Green Card (GC) for myself and entire family. Peter and his team exhibited a professionalism of rear kind throughout my dealings with them. Their advice and work ethics throughout the GC process was exceptional that I will perso...nally recommend Peter Messersmith and his team any time for immigration related case/ issues. They didn’t jump into trying to get me committed for the GC process like most law firm, but first reviewed the requirement and my qualification for the category of GC I wanted to apply and advised accordingly prior to engaging me proper for the GC process. The whole GC process went smoothly without issues that it took only about 5 months from the date of application to approval of the GC.

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.
