I can genuinely recommend Brian as the best in his field when it comes to obtaining J-1 waivers, even in the most complex and rare cases, such as those involving Fulbright sponsorship. For a long time, I thought that obtaining a J-1 waiver as a Fulbright alumnus was nearly impossible. Because these cases are so uncommon, very few lawyers truly understand how to build a strong one. From the first conversation, I was impressed by Brian's extensive experience, deep expertise, and exceptional success rate (~ 94%). After reviewin... read more

My husband and I have been working with Brian and Paul at Hake & Schmitt for over five years, and I could not be more grateful for the exceptional service and expertise they provided.

What stands out most about Brian is his deep knowledge of immigration law and his ability to anticipate challenges before they arise. He was always clea... read more

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my attorney and his firm for their outstanding support throughout my immigration process. After my initial attempt to obtain a J-1 waiver on my own was denied—costing me almost a year—I turned to them for help. From that moment, everything changed. My attorney successfully helped me secure my J-1 waiver, responded thoroughly to a challenging RFE, and later represented me through the entire green card application process. My wife and I are extremely thankful for their profession... read more

For those who have to navigate this stressful and rather complex journey of obtaining a J-1 waiver, you need to have someone as professional and reliable handling your ca... read more

I have worked with multiple immigration lawyers over the years, but none come close to the thoroughness and attention to detail that Brian Schmitt has. If you want to experience true peace of mind while your case is being worked on knowing it is in good hands, he is the person for you. The case we had was a complicated one and he took over another attorney's work, cleaned it up and submitted it with approval in a very short amount of time. Cannot recommend enough.
