Carl Michael Shusterman's Reviews

I had a wonderful experience with Atty Elli and her paralegal Ana with the processing of my H1b visa and green card application. I just got my green card today in the mail. It was filed almost 5 months ago. I highly recommend this office to all medical doctors who need assistance for any visa issues.

Mr. Carl Michael Shusterman's firm had helped successfully obtained my GC in the EB1 Category bypassing labor within 1 year. I think he is one of the best lawyers after I went through couple of lawyers. I have been satisfied with the services of Mr. Carl Michael Shusterman and his team. I would like to express my special appreciation to Mr. S. Rajakrishna and Ms. Susan Zhang who were extremely hands-on on my case, are deeply understanding of Immigration law, extremely experienced, confident, and thorough, who are always ready for the help. Thank you! I have recommended this firm to my friends and some of them have talked to them and become their clients now. They are awesome.

I must acknowledge the Law Offices of Carl Shusterman for their expert, diligent and responsive attention to my successful petition for permanent residency. Everyone in their office treated the sponsoring employer and my family with courtesy and respect. I am particularly grateful for the assistance and outstanding customer service of Judy Lu, Sr. Paralegal, who guided us through the process from H1-B to PERM to adjustment of status for permanent residency.

If your desire is to live and work in the United States and ultimately acquire citizenship, it is extremely important to have the best legal representation for your immigration process. Whatever your legal immigration needs may be, you are in good hands with the Law Offices of Carl Shusterman.

I have been a client of Mr. Shusterman for over 3 years. I am really happy with the quick and efficient service they have provided me and attained my green card within 4 months. I have been satisfied with the services of his staff from paralegal Elsa Garcia who processed my paper work to accounting led by Mr. Dee.
Getting the services of Mr. Shusterman has been the best decission I made for my immigration process.

Mr. Carl Michael Shusterman's firm had helped with my GC interview process, and I had successfully obtained my GC soon after. I was very impressed by Mr. Shusterman and his associates' knowledge, confidence, professionalism, kindness and endless efforts to help with every step of the interview, from preparation, documents, interview, to follow ups. I would like to express my special appreciation to Ellen and Judy who were extremely hands-on on my case, their fast responses to my request and questions, their years of experiences and confidence, and their very kindness and patience towards me always made me feel at home. Thank you! I would very much recommend this firm to anyone. - Nicole

This law firm helped me with my immigration needs.
I received me GreenCard 3 month after I started working with the shusterman law firm. Ellen Ma Lee was my lawyer and she did a great job!!!
I would recommend the shusterman law firm to everybody who needs help to deal with the immigration.

Do you worry about your permanent residency? Does the complexity of the application process and prolong delay bother you? Does the thought of USCIS not processing your petition on time worry you? Then you need the good folks at Shusterman's!

We first met Mr. Carl Shusterman at his office, on May 11th 2006. He along with his esteemed staff were very kind, answered all our questions diligently with extreme confidence. With my background, I was certain to fall into the EB2 Category. But Mr. Shusterman thought otherwise; He was confident that with my research background and publications, I could apply in the EB1 Category bypassing labor. I was very concerned about it and doubted the whole process but was truly mistaken!

From that moment on, we were assigned a Senior Paralegal and the wonderful Ms. Susan Zhang. They guided us throughout the process, every step and helped us with all the necessary paperwork ~ 131, 765, 140, 485. Within less than a year after applying, we received our green cards. We did have a few hiccups and that we received a couple of RFEs. But with their focused, organized, dedicated, in-depth understanding of Immigration law and expert guidance from Mr. Shusterman, we were able to sail past without any issues.

I highly recommend their firm for anyone applying for Permanent Residency.

Atty Carl shusterman is one of the best immigration lawyer in the USA, he is a superstar lawyer if there's one to consider. Keep up the good health so that you may continue to help people like us, whose only dream is to call the USA our HOME and Country to serve and cherish. Thank you ATTY Carl.

I contacted Carl Shusterman after I went through 2 lawyers in the bay area regarding my imigration needs. The first impression I got was someone who was open and forthright. He painted the scenario that was not exuberant but had opimism in the final result. Though it took five years to accomplish my goal, every step of the way was handled in a prompt and professional manner.

Judy Lu, who oversaw my case was simply the best. She was on spot at every juncture and made sure my employer and I respond in a timely manner. She is extremely professional, knowledgable and responsive to every questions i had. Ms. Lu is a huge asset to the firm. Thank you Judy and Carl.

Nine years ago picked a local immigration attorney in the bay area and and ran into road blocks after road blocks with no updates or follow through. Terminated that service and retained Shusterman. Night and day difference. Laid out a plan with honest expectations and after five long years of manuvering the labor cert process and chnage of status finally received the green card last November 08.

Judy Lu - what can I say about her! Patient, Extremely professional, prompt, thorough, responsive, courteous and much more. Keep up the good work and I will always recommend Carl's firm and have Judy work the case.

I came to the US on my B1 visa and changed my status to H1B when a public school district sponsored my work visa. Satisfied with my classroom performance, my school district sponsored my immigrant petition, starting with labor certification application. A lawyer, who claimed to practice immigration law, processed my labor certification through the PERM process and it was a total disaster! It was kind of a hit-and-miss process because he was not familiar with the new PERM application. Moreover, I had to do all the legwork of contacting newspaper companies and placing advertisements. I even had to do the layout and wording of the Sunday ads. My first PERM applicaton was denied because it was filed just one day over the 180-day time frame. I was forced to stick it out with this lawyer because I had already paid him his $4000 professional fee. My second PERM application was approved but there was an error in my work description because I was a Physics teacher but the PERM approval stated that I was a Math teacher. I pointed out the mistake to him when I first got a copy of the PERM approval. But he assured me that I should not worry about it anymore since USCIS will not question what the Dept of Labor had already approved. My priority date became current in 2007 and I applied for my green card together with my family. By this time we had spent around $10,000 already and had waited for four years. I was totally shocked when, one day, USCIS sent me a letter denying my immigrant petition since I was not qualified as a Math teacher but was actually Physics teacher. It was that very error that I had pointed out to my immigration lawyer when I first got a copy of my PERM approval. My lawyer prepared an affidavit, stating that it was just a typographical error, and he even had the guts to ask for a $300 fee for preparing a document to correct the error that he had made. To cut the long story short, my immigrant petition was revoked and my green card application was denied.

With my 6th year work visa limitation within the horizon, I was getting desperate. So I scheduled an appointment with Atty Shusterman and he was very honest with me. He didn't give me those empty promises that everything will be easy. He advised me to start the PERM process all over again. A competent associate specialing in PERM and work visas together with a methodical paralegal were assigned to my case. My PERM and petition for a nonimmigrant worker were approved and I was able to extend my work visa beyond the 6-year limits. The whole process was done professionally and the law firm did all the legwork. Now I am just waiting for my priority date to become current so I can apply for a green card.

Reflecting on my past experience, I should have started off with Shusterman's Law Firm. I thought hiring my first immigrant lawyer would save me a few thousand dollars. In the end, I wasted around $10,000 in the process and worst of all, wasted precious time. My family and I would have been green card holders by this time had Atty Shusterman handled my case.

So if you are looking for a competent, honest and experienced immigration lawyer and want to receive professional service, you should see Atty Carl Shusterman. He doesn't give you any empty promises, but tells you the hard facts and what you need to do. His team of lawyers are very competent and will personally attend to your case. The paralegal assigned to me would respond to my emails within minutes after sending them. I was totally satisfied with the firm's services and I will highly recomment him to any person who is need of an immigration lawyer.

I was privileged to used the Law Offices of Carl Shusterman 2005 &2006.
I am very pleased to say that the staff at the Law office are very experience, they are very knowledgable in immigration laws truthful and attend to my needs. A special mention to Maria Cobian and Ellen who graceously worked with me on a one to one basis. E-mails and phone calls were returned in a timely fashion and they follow up with me until my case was completed. The payment plan was awesome.!!!!!!. If you need reputable representation... The Law Offices of Carl Shusterman is the firm you need.

Over the past 5 years I was very pleased with the services provided by Carl's firm. At each check point in the immigration process, from applying for an H-1 visa, to getting the labor certification, to finally obtaining the green card, Carl was there for me and my family. His ability to explain in simple terms the complicated maze of U.S. immigration is unparalleled. Are you in the maze now? Don't waste time, get Carl on the phone right away! A special mention for a paralegal in his office, Gale Soriano. She is awesome to work with!

I was referred to Mr Shusterman from a contact at the Canadian Consulate in Los Angeles. I was very impressed with the detail of the information provided to me and what to expect in the process of applying for a work visa. Jay Pounders, Senior Paralegal, was assigned to me and he was equally informative.

I have been very pleased working with these two individuals and the positive results of our applications.

This firm was recommended to us by several friends who had used them for similar cases to ours.We were pretty nervous about putting our trust into peple we had never met before,having only spoke over the phone several times.How wrong could we have been!!They were amazing,Mr, Shusterman was a complete gentle man very understanding and helpful,answered every question we could have thought of,told us what to expect and how long it would take.Our lawyer was Amy Prokop, who was equally amazing, she was professional,easy to talk to,and funny,On the day of our interview she was great ,she told us exactly what was going to happen and she was right .She really put us at ease when we needed it most,and last but not least our paralegal Ana Cruz was fantastic also, we called her sooo many times asking questions about paperwork and so on and she was great gave us all the information we needed and if she didint know something she found out very quickly for us.All in all if you decide to use this firm you will not be disappointed.We could 'nt have asked for a better experience!

I had a difficult beginning in United States and of course I've been to different immigration lawyers too but ONLY this Intelligent Man , Atty.Shusterman gave me HOPE, FREEDOM and PEACE of my life. Day by day, working as a Nurse he is always in my mind and prayers... even in my cellphone I cant afford to erase his name (in case of emergency he is there for me). He is the most approachable and pleasant lawyer I encountered and surprisingly he speaks my Filipino dialect.... from there my Life begins. THANK YOU SO MUCH Attorney and to your paralegal ELSA GARCIA!

I was referred to Mr. Carl Shusterman after I found myself with an expired visa and some serious immigration trouble, and another firm couldn't help me. Mr. Shusterman quickly devised a detailed and thorough plan that his team, including Elif Keles and Judy Lu, then executed to perfection. Ms. Keles prepared me for and attended a court appearance with me, and it all went very smoothly. Once the visa problem was resolved, Ms. Lu also guided me through the green card process. She was extremely well organized, kept me informed, and was always prompt and thorough in answering my questions. I now have green card in hand!! I would highly recommend Mr. Shusterman and his team, and personally would not consider going anywhere else for immigration help.

For many years I did try to resolve my situation and I had very bad experience with other firms. Finally, about a year ago I got referred to Mr. Shusterman by attorney Robert Mautino in San Diego and in less than a year I got my situation fixed. All the people in the office they were very kind and supportive. I am pleased.

ATTORNEY SHUSTERMAN IS ONE OF THE BEST LAWYER THAT I EVER HAD FOR MY IMMIGRATION NEEDS. HE IS GENIUS AND WELL RESPECTED IN THE COUNTRY. I GOT MY GREEN CARD LAST YEAR THROUGH HIM. I WAITED 18 YEARS TO GET MY GREEN CARD AFTER HIRING ATTORNEY SHUSTERMAN. HIS STAFF IS ALSO VERY COURTEOUS.

Save yourself some time, some money, and a lot of heartache. Go see Carl. I recently brought my Chinese wife to America. Everything was flawless. No requests for more info. An interview with the American embassy that was successfully concluded in 10 minutes. It was actually sad to see about 20 women come out from the interview before her - they were trying not to cry. Carl has been doing this for a few decades. He knows things the average person would never know. That's why I say save some money. Trying to do it a few times by yourself will most likely result in trouble. It costs more to fix trouble than it does to do a correct immigration.
Carl also has an amazing team to back him up. Judy Lu handled our case because my wife was Chinese. Judy immigrated here almost 30 years ago from China. She's been doing this for almost 30 years. She knows everything about the process, but more importantly she knows everything about the immigration system and people. She knows what they want to see, she knows what makes them suspicious. Carl even had a Chinese speaking lawyer coach her for the interview.
I highly recommend Carl and his staff.

I was surprised at my N-400 interview to learn that my employment based case would be denied because I had left my previous employer too soon. In shock I approached Carl Shusterman's law firm. They were very polite and very professional and promptly paid attention to every minute detail regarding my case. Even though this is a high profile law firm - they took all the time in the world to respond to all my queries and reviewed several drafts of my documents. Attorney's Raj Iyer and Ellen Lee took the time to meet with me several times and explained all the nuances of the law. My case was approved in a record time of 1 month !
I guess this is why they are considered the best in the field !

interviewed quite a few immigration firms before hire Mr. Shusterman. Very happy and impressed with the outstanding services. In particular, my case handler, Ms. Judy Lu, has done a fantastic job!

I received a Notice of Intent to Deny and I was in a panic. I had known Mr Shusterman through his bulletin which I read for several years. He gave me excellent advice and was able to respond to that notice in less than a week. Raj Iyer in his office responded very promptly and courteously to all my requests. It was the best experience I have had with immigration lawyer in nearly 8 years of trying to get my green card.

I have known Carl Shusterman since 1997 when I met him in Pasadena,California. He has a very charming personality. It was a very tough time for me having used some very so called prominent lawyers in the past for my H1 B and nothing was happening. He was able to get me out of the hole and subsequently get my EAD , Travel Parole and Green Card. We just got our citizenship on the 5th year anniversary of Green Card! We never had a query by the USCIS on our case, it was thoroughly prepared always. I would mention Ms Judith Lu in his office who handled my case professionaly and answered my questions on time and promptly. Your case is guaranteed to be approved on time without any problem if you use them. It is Time and money well spent. I am going to use them for my parents immigration now without hesitation. Thanks a lot Carl and Judith.

Mr. Shusterman and his team of attorneys are outstanding and clearly some of the best in the field of immigration law, based on our experience.

We (my spouse and I) recently got our Green cards approved, Mr. Shusterman’s office representing as our attorney.

After being stuck in the black hole of immigration backlog for many years, we had almost given up hope for any resolution soon, till we got in touch with Mr. Shusterman, who assured us that cross-chargeability would work in our case and that there was light at the end of the tunnel.

Throughout the course of our consultations, I came to know Mr. Shusterman as an extremely knowledgable and experienced attorney. His approach was realistic coupled with optimism. We were given the entire, bigger picture, before being focused on the specifics of our case, which gave us a sound understanding of the whole, and confidence in Mr. Shusterman’s ability to pursue our case.

I appreciate their office for being approachable, extremely professional and pushing relentlessly for the success of our filing. Personally, I do not feel we could be in better hands, and sometimes regret that we could’ve easily shaved off atleast a year of waiting in the backlog if we had approached them earlier. Can’t thank them enough.

Highly recommended!

The previous attorney firm that was working on my immigration matters were not very knowledgeable. They were okay but did not have a thorough understanding of all immigration matters and were not very reciprocal. I happened to find Mr. Shusterman and his firm through the internet. Right from day one, Mr. Shusterman listened to me patiently and advised me on options. All the paralegals are very knowledgeable as well. Attorney Lee spoke to me initially and later Attorney Rajkrishna guided me through my immigration matters.
At times, I felt like they were thinking more about my case than I was. They were very focused about the task at hand. On immigration matters, it all boils down to the lawyer listening to you patiently on your silliest question, being reachable and guiding you correctly. Carl Shusterman and his firm do all that and beyond in my opinion. I would recommend them to anyone for immigration matters.

I am very please with the work ethic that Carl Shusterman has for his clients. Personally I felt at ease knowing that my case was handled by true professionals that care for us and that knew the law in regards to immigration matters. His paralegal Ana Cruz was exceptional in communicating what was needed and her constant fallow up's where very helpful and impressive to us. I would highly recommend Mr.Shusterman and his team to get the job done .
Thank you for all your hard work and constant communication with us . Your team of lawyers and Ana Cruz (paralegal) made our process painless and worry-free.

Me and my wife have just been approved for the permanent residency and I just can't express how relieved that the long ordeal and wait is finally over. I have gone through no.of status changes fromB2-JI-HIB and now finally Adjusted . Like others before me Mr Shusterman's esteemed firm must have processed thousands of cases having different scenarios. His firm was involved inmy case from the JI-HIB Conversion to finally through to Adjustment to PR. While I don't know about the others, his FIRM right fromt he get go was involved with us very intimately and professionally in providing the infos, the much needed documents, necessary feedbacks, and sometimes was even warning against complacency in terms of time sensitive matters. His office is a mixture of very friendly, caring and dedicated individuals who think the clients as one of themselves. In my case , Judy Lu Sr paralegal and Attny Rajakrishna Iyer was mostly involed though in their absense their was always other attny with quick feedback and necessary advice promptly available, and truly I never had the impression of being adrift. These two individuals I mentioned was not only caring and dedicated, they also were always behind me in getting together the important pieces promptly, with correction and most important,I always received the emails/ repliesfrom Judy/ IYER almost immediately regarding the next course of action with explanation.. I have called them so many times including odd times , but the response was always friendly , compassionate and professional. There was always an air of encouragement. Being aware of Carl Shusterman's background as an experienced Immigration Attny,I always had the feeling that my papers will be completed on a successful note,and that is what his dedicated staff has always done. My heartfelt thanks and appreciation to their dedication

Law Offices of Carl Shusterman is a big immigration law firm in Los Angeles, and I would add from my part, a great, trustworthy, and dedicated attorney, committed to their clients with an extreme care, responsiveness and follow up practicing very good, competitive and reasonable prices for their services.

After interviewing multiple firms, I decided to go through the process of submission of an I-140 (EB1) self-petition with Carl Shusterman having conviction after first consultation that is very experienced and honest attorney in matter of immigration.

A wonderful paralegal Jay Pounders encouraged and supported me from first day and has been a faithful counselor and contributor to the success of my case (approval of an EB1 I -140 petition )

Jay was extremely accommodating, generous, and responsive as well as knowledgeable, responding immediately to any of my questions and constantly mindful of my needs.

Every meeting, call, and email was productive and encouraging and I could count on him and his team to be responsive, professional and thorough.


It is comforting and reassuring to find in a law office a paralegal so experienced, intelligent, kind, and trustworthy. Jay is a unique individual who will exceed your expectations.

As stated, I recommend him and Law Offices of Carl Shusterman without reservation.

I got my greencard more than 10 years ago. Before I reached Mr. Shusterman I had met 22 lawyers and none of them knew that I could be a permanent resident in this country. When I went to his office it didn't take even 10 minutes for him to tell me that I will be receiving a greencard within that year. I cannot forget how light my shoulders felt!! Mr. Shusterman was tremendously knowledgeable and the process went very quickly. Paralegal who helped me from the beginning to the end was also very organized, prompt and sweet!
If anyone needs immigration help I highly recommend his law firm.

I found Mr Shusterman and his firm after researching the internet. I have used several immigration lawyers in the past, for H-1 visa, green card, etc. This time, I needed a super heavy weight immigration attorney because USCIS denied my naturalization application and started deportation procedures (for reasons I will keep private). He was very direct from the beginning and his fee structure was simple and comparable to other law firms of less fame. Long story short, Mr Shusterman and his team where able to reverse both immigration decisions and I am now a US citizen. While elated, I was also shocked at the result because of the way USCIS presented the issues to me. It takes a rare lawyer to be able to succeed in reversing BOTH such decisions. He saved my career and my family.

We found Carl through a referral from a friend. He is very knowledgeable and understands all the intricacies of US immigration law. Carl is well respected in his field and can have direct access to others for your cause. Even when we were under tremendous stress, and it seemed as if all odds were against us, Carl never lost faith, because he KNOWS US immigration law. If you've got a tough case...he's your best bet!!!

I can honestly say that Mr. Carl Shusterman and his team are probably the best in the business when it comes to immigration matters. Carl's greatest asset is his prior work experience as a former INS prosecutor. My family and I were on the verge of being deported from the United States. Because of Carl's expertise and dedications, not only are we allowed to remain in this country permanently but are on path of obtaining citizenship. Carl is very professional and caring when it comes to explaining legal matters to his clients. Carl will always put you at ease. He even allowed us to call him at home on evenings and weekends for urgent matters. Now, that's impressive.

We also have had the pleasure to work with his other team members (Elif Keles and Ellen Lee). Because of their tireless efforts, our immigration issues were resloved in a matter of months instead of years.

It is without a doubt that we will strongly recommend Carl Shusterman to others. After all, whether or not you get to stay in this country is all depend on the compentency of your attorney. And this is something you don't want to compromise.

Mr. Shusterman is an excellent lawyer. He explained my rights and also my responsibilities to me. He is not only very knowledgeable, but also very culturally-sensitive. Mr. Shusterman has a very good heart and is always willing to help the underserved. I recommend him without any hesitation.

After having read the review titled “Unethical firm w/ no follow throuhg [sic]” posted by anonymous, I am completely bewildered. My family and I were former clients of Mr. Carl Shusterman and I can honestly say that he had a tremendous impact on our lives- a very positive one. Maybe some of you have heard of us, as we were in the newspapers and media sources and it was thanks to Mr. Shusterman and his wonderful paralegals that we were able to overcome many of the obstacles that immigration lay in our path. My name is Diana Cabrera and I am now 17 years old but when my parents filed their case I was about 10 years old. I was truly very young and had to endure many difficult experiences; however, I had complete and utter faith in Mr. Shusterman and his work. He inspired in me the will to fight and to continue and to pursue my dreams. He was a tremendous source of comfort often contacting us to let us know the stage that we were found in. Even when my parents had been denied and they had been told to pack and get out of this country, Mr. Shusterman rushed to find an alternative in order to ensure that my parents could stay.
It is important to understand that there are not only a couple of people filing for a permanent resident card, there are millions and so the process can be a lengthy one. However, Mr. Shusterman was with us every step of the way ensuring that everything was filed correctly and on time and even asking for more in order to have more evidence with which to aid our case. For a quick summary of what we had to go through and the time that it took to finalize our case please click on this link: http://www.shusterman.com/photo15.html. It is understandable that some people wish and have the idea that everything shall be resolved quickly, however this is not true and it takes time to go through the entire process. Overall I can say that Mr. Shusterman and his colleagues were wonderful, supportive, and very dedicated people. Something that my mom shall never forget is that there was not only one attorney working on the case but rather a combination of attorneys all with their special expertise. It is that which distinguishes Mr. Shusterman’s firm from the rest and he genuinely cares about his clients; further evidence of his dedication and wonderful service is that if you review our case, during our court meetings there was not only one attorney representing us. In fact there were various and they were all very helpful and warm and loving and caring. If you have any questions for me that you would like me to answer please feel free to contact me at crazy_coconut9294@yahoo.com. I will be more than happy to answer your questions.

I have referred several of my students and friends to the Shusterman law office and they were very satisfied with the results. I also personally retained Mr. Shusterman for a matter some years ago with outstanding results.

With a family and a career on the line, I entrusted my fate on Carl. He guided my family and me thru the bureaucratic maze and we got our immigration papers without a hitch - all the way thru till we acquired our citizenship papers.And because of his help and professional guidance the USA now has productive citizens in an admissions director of an exclusive prep school in Massachusetts (Deerfield Academy), the country head of ING Baring bank in Bangkok and an assistant professor at the University of Chicago and I have an ongoing practice in ophthalmology in California. All because of the efforts and encouragement of Mr. Carl Shusterman.Thank you Carl.

My husband and I were marred August 2005 and initiated our Application for permanent residence with Carl through the phone interview in early October of 2005. We had regular and clear communication via email with a very competent and helpful paralegal named Gale. Gale was very obliging in answering any and all questions she could answer, for myself and my husband who were completely new to most immigration technicalities. At any time she could not answer our questions due to legal protocol, she would forward our question to be promptly answered by our attorney Ellen for legal advice.

When initial applications, medical examinations, and affidavits had begun processing, the firm advised us that a fee increase with USCIS was going into effect in short notice and they helped us to get everything filed before the increased fees would be incurred.

When the final drafts of applications for our signature had a typo, the firm paid for all Fed-Ex overnight expenses to have the forms corrected, re-sent to us for signature, and returned Fed-Ex overnight in order to be filed before the fee increase would affect us.

At each personal meeting with our Attorney, and throughout the interview process at INS, Ellen Lee was straight forward, knowledgeable, personable, and professional. She made the very daunting and difficult processes run smooth and simply. When we arrived at our interview with sweaty palms and nerves a wreck, her expertise and optimism assured us of what we were to find out shortly: that our entire process had been in the very best hands. Within the short span of 5 months, my husband received work permit, and a green card.

In the time passed since we have needed their services the staff at Shustermans has still been available for advisement on the filing of application for removal of restrictions on Permanent residence.

I cannot recommend highly enough any and every experience I have had with each person at Carl Shusterman's Firm, including Carl himself.

I work with Merritt Hawkins & Associates, the largest physician search and consulting firm in the United States. For the past 20 years, we have relied on Mr. Shusterman and his law office to assist us in cases where we have recruited international physicians on behalf of our clients. As the length of our relationship indicates, we have found the results that Mr. Shusterman and his firm have achieved for us to be uniformly excellent. Mr. Shusterman is nationally known for his immigration law expertise and is one of the most respected immigration attorneys in the United States. We have found his intregrity, professionalism and expertise to be exceptional. Mr. Shusterman is an "attorney's attorney" who is able to resolve immigration cases beyond the scope of many lawyers, and his offices have been decisive in helping us successfully resolve difficult cases. We continue to rely on Mr. Shusterman as a key resource and I can recommend him without reservation.

A few years ago I had the honor and pleasure of benefiting from the unparalleled experience, dedication, and professional services provided by Los Angeles based immigration attorney Carl Shusterman. His experience as a former INS prosecutor, his keen mind, and intimate knowledge of the law were the perfect combination to prevail in what was a rather complex immigration case. My gratitude for the second to none legal representation offered by Mr. Shusterman cannot be entirely expressed in words and is one of the reasons why I continue to refer friends and colleagues who find themselves in need for an outstanding attorney.

Mr. Shusterman was honest in his assessment of the case and while some of his legal opinions were hard to accept at time, he never made promises he could not keep. In addition to providing factual information, Mr. Shusterman explained his legal strategy in great detail and in the process would spend as much time as necessary to answer questions that arouse from his explanations. Finally, Mr. Shusterman made himself available and promptly returned calls and emails many of which resulted from thinking about the information he had provided during previous consultations. In the end, not only did Mr. Shusterman provide excellent legal services, but he also changed my perceptions of individuals in the legal field.

I would recommend Mr. Shusterman to anyone seeking the best legal immigration representation available in the US.

I can't think of anyone more capable than Carl Shusterman in the area of immigration law. Mr. Shusterman not only has considerable personal experience of over 30 years practicing immigration law, both for the government and in private practice, but he has an uncommon interest in the lives of the clients he serves. He is truly remarkable. There is no one I would rather use or recommend than Carl Shusterman in this area.
