I first contacted Matthew about a year ago to seek advice and assistance about my LPR application (EB1a). Now one year later, I am joyfully holding the green card on my hand thanks to the outstanding work from him and his team (particular Andrew)! Matthew has been extremely helpful and informative every step of the way. He would discuss honestly with you about the strength and weakness of your case, and provide unbiased professional advice as to how to best represent the case.

Matthew Glinsmann and his entire team at Glinsmann & Glinsmann have been great to work with throughout the entire process of getting one of our employees "successfully" through the immigration VISA and Green Card process. We could not have done it without their expertise.

Matthew was very knowledgeable, organized and patient with our immigration case. He went above and beyond to provide answers to our questions and helped make things a lot smoother. I would work with him again and recommend his services for anyone trying to "go it alone" to save some money. It's just so much easier with a pro in your corner moving things along.
