Christian Schmidt, Attorney At Law

Let me start off by saying that Christian was awesome! My wife and I worked with him on my Green Card application. After the first initial meeting we immediately realized that we were in good hands. Christian knows the US immigration system inside out and walked us through every step of the process. He regularly put our minds at ease with his confidence and knowledge.
Suffice to say, the interview went smoothly and my Green Card was approved on the spot.
I would recommend Christian to anyone looking to adjust their immigration status in the US.

I asked Christian Schmidt to represent me filing an H1B visa and lately a E2 visa — Treaty Investors.
He succeeded in both
Mr. Schmidt was fantastic in guiding me through the process. He patiently answered all my questions, provided comprehensive and considered advice, and was always available on phone or email for any advice.
I have used other lawyers in the past but the service provided by Christian Schmidt is very personalized and far surpasses any previous experience.
There is simply no comparison.
I highly recommend Mr. Schmidt for their knowledge and advice as well as the organized and professional approach they take with clients.

Christian Schmidt handled my application this year and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome! He’s very professional, knows his stuff and has great communication skills. He was very responsive to emails throughout the entire process and I knew I was in good hands.
I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an immigration lawyer.

just want to say thanks so much for be a great migration lawyer, for be a support of me and my husband in all the whole migration process.
thanks cristhian.

Chris very graciously helped me with an immigration question and was very knowledgeable.

This review is coming not from a former client but from a student who interviewed Mr. Schmidt about the H-​1B for a research paper. Mr. Schmidt was extraordinarily professional and friendly, and it is clearly evident that his decades of experience has sharpened him into an excellent attorney. Though I do not currently need an immigration attorney, from what I saw of his professionalism and passion for helping people, I would absolutely feel in good hands if Mr. Schmidt was assisting me with my immigration status.

After striking out with my expensive previous immigration attorney on two USCIS submissions, I was referred to Christian. He provided conscientious, forthright, efficient — and reasonably priced — immigration legal services for my Costa Rican wife. I’m happy. She’s happy.
Even after she was approved for her Green Card, he’s taken the time, and effort to hand hold my wife and address her concerns and questions. If he was a physician, you would say he had «great bedside manner». No idea what the equivalent term is for lawyers. ;)
I highly recommend this immigration lawyer!

My sincere advise to everyone not to go to this attorney. I am on an immigrant visa and I was in a desperate need to get some legal advice. Hence I contacted this firm to seek some their valuable opinion and agreed to pay $ 200 for consulation fee to get legal advice. As per my understanding goes when you spend $ 200 you expect an attorney to answer all your questions and guide you with the correct suggestions, specially when you have explained your situation over phone 3 – 4 times prior to the in person consultation.
To my shock this attorney 1. gave me entirely wrong information regarding my visa. I had to ask him to check some forums to confirm what he is suggesting (as I had done a bit of homework by reading some blogs prior to visit)
2. Again to my shock he agreed that he was wrong (after checking in internet right in front of me) and what I was telling him was correct.
3. He was making me sit and refer to his law book when I was asking him questions, wasting his and my time both.
4. He also gets irritated if you ask a question twice.
Lessons learnt:
1. Never visit this law firm and this attorney.
2. Online blogs and forums are much useful to get all the information as I am still wondering if I paid $ 200 to clear my doubts and confusions or Mr. Christian’s???
Hope this helps to people like me who do not want to waste their hard earned money without getting any help at all.

My wife and step daughter were stranded in China for a lengthy period of time and would still be there if not for Chris. This was a very complicated and unique case or more correctly several related cases that he has worked on. Chris never gave up on us for which we will be eternally grateful. He tried various options, contacting and working with USCIS Bangkok and other agencies, and finally succeeded in bringing my family home. During this entire ordeal he was quick to return my calls and e-​mails, and kept me abreast of developments.
Because of our past history my wife’s application for naturalization was not a slam dunk. Chris provided written arguments on her behalf and this week my wife will be sworn in as a U.S. citizen with my step-daughter’s citizenship approval to follow. Clearly, if you have a case before the USCIS you need Chris in your corner. His rates are reasonable. Believe me, you can expect to pay more elsewhere.

Extremely helpful. Would use his service again for sure.

I met christian through one of his colleges (as referral after I visited more than 10 attorneys to find the right one). Christian was not only knowlodgeable, reliable, efficient and competent but he also cared about my case. Being an immigrant himself already says a lot on how much he can relate to your situation. I highly recommend him.

We went to Christian with a rather complex employment based immigration issue. From the 1^st meeting with him we knew he was the right attorney for the job. He is not only professional but he really can anticipate what the best approach is for your case. I spoke with several other local law firms before meeting Christian and he not only is far better that the big firms he delivers results that you can count on.
I give him 10 stars!!!

Chris is very professional. His email reply is fast and information is accurate. He pays attention to every details. He is a hard worker. He even works during weekends if things are need to be done. I agree with Brian N.‘s review that he is very reasonably priced.
I called up 20 different lawyers when I was looking for a lawyer. He stood out from the crowed. He was the easiest person to talk to, he himself went through immigration process, and the most importantly I thought I could trust him. I was right!
My H1B visa application is still ongoing. I am crossing my fingers…

Christian is very German, which means he is very detail oriented — just what you want in an immigration attorney. He dots all the «i’s» and crosses all the «t’s». He is also very straight forward and very reasonably priced.
While looking for a lawyer we went to a different guy recommended to us by a friend, before we went to Christian, and it was a crazy «hard sell» with taunts of being deported and all!
It was refreshing when we met with Christian — he was very matter of fact and direct, all with a price about 30% of what we were quoted elsewhere. We are almost done with the process and everything has gone extremely smooth up until now. He definitely knows the system, understands all of the flaws, and what you need to do to get through in the least painful way possible.
