The Messersmith Law Firm, P.C. Pro

Peter is an excellent attorney. Our immigration case was quite tough and complex, however, he successfully helped us! Although I have some language
difficulty, Peter can always be patient and nice with our situation. I
would like to say that he is very professional in immigration matter, he
knows the important part in our case and gives us a legal advice about it.
We was impressed how quickly and efficiently our case was handled. Don't give up
with any hopes before you talk to Messersmith

I decided to search online an attorney that could help me solve an immigration issue related to my status. I found Messersmith webpage and I arranged to meet him at his office in Chicago. Working with him I discovered his professionalism. He is results driven and very communicative. Of course it costed me some money, but it was worth paying for his service. I feel that I made the right choice. He is a great attorney for immigration and I highly recommend him

In overall the service received can be rated as excellent. We contacted P. Messersmith law firm to file a GC application under EB2-NIW. The petition was approved in less than 30 days. During the preparation of the petition Peter and his assistant were very helpful. They closely guided us through the process and answered our questions within 24 hours. They price of the service it reasonable. We would definitely recommend this firm.

A friend referred Peter and I hired him for my EB1 case. He looked at my profile and said he was confident that EB1A will be approved. He encouraged me to file I-485 concurrently as it will be quick. However, I was in for a long and disappointing journey, where I lost my money and efforts and ended up being depressed and frustrated. Please shop around and read reviews before you trust any lawyer. Most of them are only bleeding down the neck of innocent immigrants, who are willing to empty their savings or even get loans in hope of better life.

If you're thinking of hiring Peter Messersmith, think twice unless you're ok with getting a vey poor legal representation at double the normal cost!! He'll waste your money and time and intentionally will make the process extremely lengthy to charge you more. He dose not even stick to the client-attorney agreement. Very poor experience, never recommended

I hired Peter Messersmith for my OPT-related immigration case, paying him to appeal the decision. However, I had to constantly follow up, as he seemed unfamiliar with cases like mine. CBP refused to reopen my case, forcing us to submit a TRIP request. When the response came, he misinterpreted it, claiming a key provision (212(a)(6)(C)(i)) had been removed. A second request proved otherwise, yet he blamed me for seeking clarification. For my H4 visa, I paid for a waiver, only to learn at my consulate interview that it should have been filed with USCIS. The officers handled it themselves, raising doubts about the legal guidance I received. After posting my review, Jen Ren from his office asked me to remove it, offering to “take care of the waiver.” I refused, and a month later, they disputed my review, leading to its removal. After spending close to $30,000 and three years, my case remained unresolved. I strongly advise against hiring Mr. Messersmith.

I had a terrible experience with Peter Messersmith regarding my deportation case. After being deported due to an OPT issue, he charged $15,000 to appeal, but he had no clear strategy and I had to follow up constantly. The appeal failed, and when we submitted a TRIP request, he misinterpreted the response. Instead of admitting his mistake, he blamed me. His assistant, Jen Ren, was rude and unprofessional. For my H4 visa, they charged another $10,000 for a waiver, but the U.S. consulate informed me that they should have filed it directly with USCIS, not the consulate. The consulate officers were shocked at how much I had paid, and they submitted the waiver themselves. Mr. Messersmith later asked for more money to file the same waiver with USCIS. In total, I spent over $30,000 and wasted three years with no positive results. His approach is to charge as much as possible with little care for the client’s outcome. I strongly advise against using his services.
