Matthew William Blaisdell

During a six-year immigration process, Matt grew from being a simple service provider to becoming an essential part of my life. He is calm, grounded, and centered, qualities that are invaluable in moments of uncertainty and confusion. Beyond everything else, Matthew genuinely cares. This is ref...lected not only in how he approaches specific aspects of his clients’ cases but also in the transparency of his fees. If you are looking for immigration support that is trustworthy, has a strong track record of successful cases, is extremely competent and knowledgeable about the legal system, and most importantly, takes a humane approach to his work, I would 100% recommend getting in touch with Matthew.

I contacted Mrs. Blaisdell for a green card application. He is very knowledgeable, trustworthy and professional. Mrs. Blaisdell gives in depth advise and explanations of your legal alternatives and course of actions. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to hire an honest and knowledgeable la...wyer.

Well it was either a honey moon cruise, with possibility of being band from re-entry (felony on my record) into the US. Or get my citizenship, well at least seeing what my options were. From start to finish Matthew is always by your side. You can always reach him via email, and after working with him..., you get the feel that its not about the money. He really wants to help and doesn’t judge you on your past mistakes. Even the immigration officer that was reviewing my case, told me I got my moneys worth with Matthew. Side note: Matthew was with me at every appointment, the last one they did seem confused to see him with me. They told us it wasn’t a reinterview, they needed me to sign paperwork cause my case was approved. Ps. Swore in late feb (GOD BLESS AMERICA) and Matthew as well.

Matthew guided us through both I-751 and N-400 applications, and we've been extremely grateful for his expert direction regarding immigration law and the particular workings of New York cases these days. We called him after contacting several other, considerably more expensive attorneys (whose off...ices weren't terribly informative or concrete over the phone). Matthew answered the phone himself, and was immediately friendly, clear, and specific. He was quick to respond to email queries throughout the long waiting process, and occasionally reached out to other legal contacts (e.g. to see what was up at a given USCIS office, something we appreciated). When our case was taking forever, he repeatedly contacted USCIS, and was able to get it moving again. He was informative and kind throughout, and seemed genuinely excited for us when our applications were successfully finished. Matthew helped us in filling out USCIS's weird and sometimes counterintuitive forms (where the forms were confusing or ambiguous, he knew what USCIS was looking for and directed us—probably saving us literal years of confusion and delay). It was very helpful to have someone with that level of knowledge. I'd recommend his services to anyone dealing with naturalization or family-based immigration processes. The only potential caveat is that if you expect to move during the process, it might be better to have a lawyer with a more stable address, to ensure that mail from USCIS is received. Matthew's address changed a couple of times over the several years we were dealing with USCIS, so he once or twice he did not receive notices. However, it seems that USCIS is increasingly posting copies of notices online so this might not be a major issue going forward. Also, as with any lawyer, it is good to proofread all your information; we've worked with a couple lawyers over the last half-decade, and with each of them, there has been the occasional detail that needed fixing. Most recently, Matthew shared with us his fantastic notes for the marriage-related interview for the I-751; they were very much in line with what we experienced in our interview. They were extremely detailed, both about the kinds of questions one might get asked, and about how to behave in the interview in general. When we got out of the interview, one of the first things we said to each other was how glad we were to have gone over his questions in advance (thank you, Matthew!).

Matthew has been helping my husband and I out for a whole 3 years now. We are extremely grateful for his dedication and hard work. His confidence in his work and patience with his clients is like none you’ve never seen before. Since the first consultation Matthew gave me the assurance I needed to lea...ve it in his hands to resolve our issues, and sure enough he didn’t let us down! I recommend Mr. Blaisdell 100% !
