  The parent comment, or the one stating that this is the parent's first post and asking for more details on the OP's credibility?

    I know her, messaged her, and asked her to respond.

      Between your comments and others in this subthread, this is beginning to look uncomfortably like an organized campaign. That is not a legit use of the thread. Obviously there's no direct way for anyone who doesn't know the facts of an anonymous story to respond to it. It would be difficult even for Peter to respond specifically; confidentiality issues don't just disappear when someone posts a comment. But it doesn't feel right to leave this unanswered, either, so let me add my own simple anecdote: working with Peter, who helped me get a visa, was hands-down the best experience I've ever had with a lawyer. And you can see the similar things that other HN users had to say when we announced the AMA: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10699898 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10699898. There's a reason why YC uses Peter to help every international startup they fund. If he didn't deliver the goods, that wouldn't happen. I don't mean that to denigrate your friend's experience—it's impossible to evaluate.

  Edit: I was informed this was an abuse of HN. Peter can't defend himself in this scenario because of US confidentiality laws between lawyers and clientele. Many people have had good or stellar experiences with Peter Roberts. Peter, Sincerest apologies. -K. Unable to delete the prior comment.
