Benjamin G. Messer, Esq.

Benjamin G. Messer leads the litigation department at HMA Law Firm, where his role is built around a simple idea: the firm’s associate attorneys get better, faster, when someone with deep courtroom experience is training them directly. Mr. Messer oversees HMA’s litigation team and personally mentors the attorneys and paralegals who work its cases. He is, in effect, HMA’s in-house teacher, brought in specifically because he is trusted to train other lawyers, not only to win cases himself.

He has practiced immigration law since 2013, with deep experience in removal defense, asylum, and federal litigation and appeals. At HMA, he is continuing a career-long pattern of teaching alongside practice.

Mr. Messer is a graduate of the University of Baltimore School of Law and Iowa State University. He is licensed in Maryland and the District of Columbia, before the U.S. District Courts for Maryland and DC, and before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. He serves on the Executive Committee of AILA’s Washington, D.C. Chapter. He is fluent in English and Spanish.

Client Testimonials

Exceptional Service – Highly Recommended! I can't thank The HMA Law Firm enough for their help with my immigration case. I was facing a very difficult situation and had already been given some discouraging feedback from other firms, who didn’t believe my case could be successful. Then I contacted The HMA Law Firm. They immediately responded and assured me they would do everything possible to assist. Their support was unwavering, and within just two months of them taking over, my case was approved!

We are incredibly grateful to our legal team for guiding us through every step of our immigration process. From the very beginning, they were thorough, professional, and—most importantly—genuinely invested in our case.
Sahar Mahmood
The HM law office has handled my case from the beginning. My case required a pardon, which was granted to me. Two months later, they gave me an appointment at the American embassy in Nicaragua. I went out for the interview, and everything went very well. My visa was approved, and I'm back—just waiting for my green card to arrive. They guided me in the best possible way. Morsal, I was always aware of my case.

We used the HMA Law Firm for my mother’s US naturalization process. I am happy to report it went well and she just got naturalized recently. Mr Hassan and the entire law firm were very helpful; always around to answer questions, emails and phone calls. They are also very knowledgeable on the process and prepare the candidates well for the interview process. I would highly recommend their services. Thank you.

It was Tuesday when I had N-400 interview. My case was unique and complicated with slim chances of getting approved for the final oath ceremony. Attorney Morsal Hashimee accompanied me to the interview and helped me navigate the tough waters of N400 interview. I had a 1 hour long interview. Attorney Morsal Hashimee spoke on my behalf at times during the interview when the situation for me would get tensed and she made sure that I sail smoothly through the baptism of fire (my tough N400 interview). It was due to Morsal's astute legal mind and professional approach during the interview that lead to the approval of my N400 case. I would highly recommend Attorney Morsal Hashimee to folks seeking US Immigration.

I just came from my GC interview and i couldn't be any happier, thank God. The HMA Law Firm took my case very seriously and helped me a great deal. I would like to thank brother Hassan, sister Sharifa, Melissa and my long lost brother Faisal Khan. Faisal Khan is one of the nicest persons God's ever created, he worked in my case with passion and gave me hope when I was the most sad and hopeless. Faisal Khan is a true Hero and it is a true blessing to have him working on my case. I will recommend the HMA Law Firm to all my friends.

I got to know Mr. Ahmad through my husband's former co-worker. He was very friendly and willing to work with my specific case. He was also quick to correspond to all of your questions, and was very clear on what needed to be done to have a successful result. I truly enjoyed working with him over the years, and I was fortunate to have him as my attorney.

Recommend Hiring Mr.Hassan from HMA law firm even in my sleep, he is amazing very very responsive, We had our case hanging with USCIS for over 2 years when we hired Mr.Hassan, today we are Citizens. He worked on our case so closely and unlike lot of big firms where they have no idea whats happening on your case until you ask them, He would always give us updates even if we don't follow up and follows up with USCIS so closely for us. Very professional and a very very humble person.

I've retained HMA Law Firm for my wife's green card process and the end result exceeded our expectation as we didn't have an easy case to start with but, Hassan and his team made it all possible not only that but the quick response and call backs to whenever we had questions or concerns helped us feel at ease and positive. My wife is here in USA now and that's thankfully to HMA and my friend whom referred me to them. Greatly appreciate always HMA TEAM
