CLIENT TESTIMONY
"Peter is one of the most thorough and experienced consultants in the area of immigrant- and immigration-related policy that I have worked with. He was responsive and respectful in his interactions throughout the process and his final presentation to the Board was highly informative, accessible, and executed with an extremely high level of skill. I would not hesitate to contract with Peter again and would highly recommend him for anyone seeking a policy consultant."
