Peter J. Landis

I have known Peter Landis for seven years. He is not just an outstanding lawyer but also a wonderful person. I have always had easy access to him and his associates. I feel that he has always given me the right advice. He is a very compassionate and understanding person who is always eager to help. He has cutting edge knowledge and expertise in immigration matters. He is very reasonable in terms of his professional fee, and has never charged me for any phone conversations or an informal advice. In my opinion, he is an outstanding attorney who you can absolutely rely upon. I refer all my friends and acquaintances to him.

Abhay Singh, M.D.

Mr. Landis is an experienced lawyer. He was quick in responding to my inquiries, and is always clear, kind, and professional.

Peter Landis is always available to answer the many questions we have regarding immigration issues. We hire a lot of foreign professors, and of course there is always a rush needed, and Peter responds accordingly. He has done onsite training and is extremely knowledgeable in the field.
