Three Decades of Dedication: Celebrating the People Who Make WSM Extraordinary

November 6, 2025 / Stephanie Smith / 30th Anniversary Posts

I began working with WSM LLP as a new employment based immigration lawyer over 17 years ago, and since that time I have marveled at the diligence and tenacity of the people who make this firm great. This year, WSM proudly marks 30 years of service to employers and foreign national employees navigating the complexities of the U.S. immigration system. I have seen first-hand that the firm is guided by a deep commitment to integrity, precision, and intensive advocacy – values that have earned the trust of clients across industries and around the world.

Over three decades, WSM has weathered shifting immigration policies and ever-changing regulations, remaining steadfast in its mission to create a smooth and seamless immigration process for our clients. Behind every case filing, the WSM team brings not only legal expertise but also empathy, perseverance, and a deep respect for the individuals and organizations whose futures depend on thoughtful immigration solutions.

Having joined the firm in 2008, I’ve witnessed the relentless dedication that defines WSM’s culture – an unwavering pursuit of excellence even amidst significant challenges. As we celebrate this significant milestone, I honor the visionaries who built this firm – Kirsten Schlenger and Mary Jane Weaver – as well as the clients who continue to trust in the important work of our firm.
