We are extremely satisfied with the exceptional job done by Matthew Glinsmann and his team, especially Jimena.
In short, Glinsmann Immigration offers an up-front flat fee and provides a highly competent and generous service through it. They helped us to achieve our goal through an incredibly seamless process that was very transparent/clear, professional, and supportive.
Our situation was particularly complex given pandemic-related challenges, and we had no idea how to navigate the convoluted process during that time. Many of our questions were specific to our circumstance and we couldn't afford to make guesses here or there based on the limited information available on public websites or online forums.
But, it was not a problem for Glinsmann. He understood the legal landscape inside-out and, without hesitation, presented a customized strategy for us to pursue. Over the following months, Matthew and his paralegal, Jimena, walked us through every step of the process with extraordinary clarity, kindness, and support.
Matthew is incredibly knowledgeable, competent, and capable in driving solutions forward. He always knew what to do, especially for the more complicated questions and potential pitfalls. We felt safe and secure every step of the way.
Jimena helped us with our detailed questions and was extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and professional. She was always available by phone - or would call us back as soon as she could - to answer our specific questions. She demonstrated a very strong knowledge of the content and, in consultation with Matthew, would always quickly and easily help us to solve whatever question we encountered. We could tell she was highly trained and capable, a kind soul who really cares, and a real pleasure to work with.
Though the interactions were more limited, we were also impressed with the other members of the team. Our discussion with Karla early in the process helped sell us to pursue Glinsmann's services. Karla's knowledge, quick thinking, and can-do mindset convinced us of the professionalism of Matthew's team. We also had several interactions with Gabriella and always encountered the utmost professionalism, support, and clarity in communication. Matthew's team - Jimena, Gabriella, and Karla - is truly top notch.
We have recommended Glinsmann Immigration to our family and friends. We couldn't be happier with their competence and professionalism.

Mr. Glinsmann is very professional, knowledgeable, and is a pleasure to work with. He makes you feel very comfortable and guides you through the whole process. The firm is very organized with paperwork and my application was filed very thoroughly. Mr. Glinsmann and his staff, Gabriella, are also both very highly responsive with my questions and give very good instructions through every step.
Overall, I was very happy with Mr. Glinsmann and his team for the entire process, from the first phone consultation to the very end when my case finally got approved. I highly recommend Mr. Glinsmann and his firm!

My husband and I could not be more grateful for all the work that Matthew and his team have done. They helped, advised and guided us at all times. We got our case approved in 8 months when we thought it would be 12 to 24 months. DR Glinsmann is very professional and honest. He always told us the truth and supported us in the case. Jimena, one of his assistants, was our support throughout the process, always answering our calls and emails on time and with great cordiality, dedication and kindness. We are so grateful to her for being so patient with us. I highly recommend this law firm.

We worked with attorney Matthew Glinsmann and Karla, Gabriella, Jimena and Sarah on a permanent resident (green card) application for a spouse. They were very professional, respectful, organized and responsive. Most importantly, they showed true care for our case and made sure we understood the requirements, the process and the various stages of the application. They always reached out to keep us informed of developments and timelines and to make sure we were on track with getting all the necessary documents. In addition, the team was always keen and ready to work with us on the many questions that came up during the process, which kept us calm and confident. The result was a timely approval of our application with minimum hassle and stress. Thank you!

Matthew Glinsmann and his team supported my husband and me for obtaining my green card. They provided excellent guidance at all steps of the process. Instructions and communications were always very clear and timely. Throughout the process, they provided regular follow-ups. The support team was a pleasure to work with. We worked primarily with Gabriella and Jimena who both did an excellent job. Matthew prepared us very well for the interview. It was great to have him with us for the interview as well. We highly recommend Matthew and his team !

I hired Matthew Glinsmann for my citizenship application and couldn't be happier with the services provided! My case was somewhat complicated with extensive travel during my time as a green card holder. At first, I was not even sure if I qualified based on the physical presence requirement, and had consulted with several other lawyers who gave me conflicting advice without really delving into my specific situation or taking the time to look at my documentation. Attorney Glinsmann (and his team) was quite the opposite- he looked into my travel history in detail and provided expert advice on my eligibility for application. Once we had determined my eligibility, he and his team provided step by step guidance on the required documentation, assisted me with the application form and filed my application. Once filed, the team was great about keeping me informed of any new developments, and providing guidance on next steps. I also retained Matthew Glinsmann for the citizenship interview, and he and his team prepared me on what to expect and provided a great overview of the timelines post interview (and kept me updated based on what they were experiencing with other clients). Attorney Glinsmann was also present at my interview, which was invaluable in my case, as I needed things to move quickly after the interview (which they did!).
In summary, I would highly recommend Matthew Glinsmann and his team- not only were they professional and methodical in their approach, but they were also personal, accessible and empathetic to my concerns.

Matthew, Gabriella, and Karla held our hands throughout the entire process of my wife’s immigration. We never expected a pandemic, it was not part of our plans! Their professionalism, kindness, and reassurance helped us maintain a steady course. They were ALWAYS available to answer any questions or concerns that we had. Even with the extra hurdles of dealing with a country that doesn’t have a US Embassy (Cuba), their knowledge and experience secured my wife’s arrival along with her permanent residence status, i.e.: the infamous green card!
Rest assured that Gabriella and Karla know their stuff, true professionals. We are so grateful to the entire team. Our only hope is that in the end, our friends will say (from both countries) …. “They lived happily ever after.” Our thanks to Glinsmann Immigration (TeamMatthew) for making our dream come true.

I have a very high standard when it comes to attorneys . I hired Mr Glinsmann years back to handle my own immigration, so there was no doubt, that I would give my children the same professional & best there is,which again is Mr. Glinsmann. He is extremely knowledgeable, prepared, firm (when needed), compassionate (when needed), and always professional. He is very good at his craft! I would always highly recommend Matthew Glinsmann
Thank you to you & Team for all your help

I have been a client of Glinsmann Immigration in Gaithersburg MD for the last five years. They helped me file for my permanent residency (green card) in 2016. Recently, I completed my naturalization interview and oath ceremony, becoming a US citizen in 2021. Matthew Glinsmann’s team was a critical part of this entire long process.
Over these five years, I worked extensively with Matthew Glinsmann, Karla Alonso, Jimena Alfaro, Gabriella Harrison, and more recently Sarah. All of them are highly professional, very competent, and great at their jobs! Before we started each step, we were informed clearly and in writing about the fee structure, the boundaries of Mr. Glinsmann’s role, and our rights and responsibilities. Once we got started with any step, the Glinsmann Team made sure that every line of every immigration form was addressed, and that my spouse and I understood exactly what was going on at all times (neither of us have any legal background). They made sure that all documentation was very thoroughly prepared for filings and interviews. Everything was done well before any deadlines, and they would contact us with reminders for important deadlines and milestones. We had in-person meetings before every filing and interview till 2020. By 2020, we had even moved out of Maryland. That did not change anything with respect to the Glinsmann team’s handling of our case. During the covid shutdown in 2020, our meetings switched to Zoom, without losing their thoroughness and effectiveness. In the end, both my interviews (green card and now naturalization) were very straightforward and easy, in large part because the Team had all the required documents, records, and case history prepared, and had thoroughly prepared us for what to expect during the actual interviews.
The last couple of years have clearly been challenging for US immigration overall. There were sudden changes in rules and procedures, as well as shut-downs and delays in USCIS processing due to the covid-19 global pandemic. Matthew Glinsmann and his team gave us the confidence that we would get through our immigration process even under these circumstances.
Lastly, I would like to say that all our interactions with Matthew, Karla, Gabriella, Jimena, and Sarah were very friendly and positive, without exception. There was a very friendly and reassuring environment during all conversations. They always answered when we called (sometimes even with basic questions), and always remembered our case history and details even over a period of years. This was always very reassuring. In summary, I would whole-heartedly recommend working with Glinsmann Immigration!
