A true gentleman.
A good immigration attorney can make all the difference to your case. Hard work, honesty, professionalism and genuine urge to help is what describes a good lawyer. I found all of that in Mr. Edward’s office. Though the process of my case itself was lengthy I always felt that he was in complete control and working hard for the best possible outcome. During course of about 2 years I found him polite, helping and felt very comfortable going through details with him and discussing all the options we had!

Best Team!
A good immigration attorney can make all the difference to your case. The Shulman Law Group and his team possess knowledge, skill and professionalism for any immigration needs. I am so grateful to Mr. Shulman and his Team for everything that they have done on my case. They were always honest and professional.

We are very grateful for this firm. I highly recommend them.

Best Immigration Attorney
I have been a client of Mr. Shulman since 2014. He is the best immigration lawyer I have ever met. I was referred to him by my friends who used him in the past and had successful outcomes with him. Mr. Shulman and his team have the best knowledge and will guide you through the whole process.They are always available to answer your questions before, during and after your process. He is honest and will tell you exactly how much you will spend during your case with no surprises. I have used him for myself, my parents and referred him to many friends.

Very knowledge
Mr Shulman and his team possess knowledge, skill and professionalism to tackle cases that others would not even consider. Mr Shulman is very honest and will not give false hope to collect more money. This trait was very important in my case. My immigration saga lasted for 25 years in total. First 20 yeas I spent paying for the false hope while having my documentation messed. Mr Shulman; Had explained what to expect and not to. Had provided a wealth of knowhows we can use to help my case along. Was very diligent in soliciting case updates and trying to hurry the process as much as possible. Never stopped working till my case was finished. My latest filling was fully paid for 2 years before completion. However, Mr Shulman’s ferocity had not stopped after the final payment. In conclusion, the immigration lawyer is a very important choice that can either make you or break you. If you have doubts, set up a consultation and see for yourself.

The best immigration lawyer period
Mr. Ed Shulman's firm is the most sophisticated, professional, trusted and humane firm in the area. I hired Mr. Shulman for my marriage based immigration, the whole process was a breeze, not to mention the positive outcome, as I'm on my path to become a US Citizen. I regularly consult him on various immigration matters, often he would charge a simple fee but you can't really put a price tag on his invaluable guidance. He will never pressure you to hire his firm if not warranted (very honest). Please do yourself a favor and let Mr. Shulman handle your case no matter how complicated your situation maybe, highly recommended.

Excellent Immigration Lawyer
Edward Shulman is really superb lawyer. He will listen to you & will recommend what's absolutely needed to be done, and charges very reasonable prices for the extraordinary work that he & his staff professionally do. My husband's immigration case was very complicated but not for him. He worked hard on it & solved our case. I am very pleased with his services.

Thank you soooooooo much !!!!! A new beginning !!
My case was very scary and complicated and he made what felt like the impossible a reality. After making a mistake a few years ago and facing what I thought was deportation and a nightmare Edward Shulman and his team have helped me overcome my fears and secure my future. I’ve lived in this country for 27 years and in 2014 I commited a crime which was deamed as one of “moral tepitude” I thought I was for sure gonna lose my family, job and essentially my life as I knew it. He was very kind, patient, understanding and his staff was courteous, insightful and available. Cecilia emailed with with every update relative to my case and followed up after my address change. All of my questions, concerns and fears were dealt with and I’m so happy that I chose this team to help me with my immigration process. He was worth EVERY. SINGLE. PENNY !! Thank you guys for being amazing !!!!

Excellent Immigration Lawyer
My spouse and I hired Mr. Shulman to represent us in an "adjustment of status" case. We found him to be a very competent, kind, and respectful man. We were always very comfortable when we visited his office. The staff was great also. We are very happy with his services and the outcome of our case. We highly recommend him.

Straight up and honest
Hi I met with Mr Shulman today and he was very upfront - this was my 4th opinion - he layed everything on the table and told me how it is ! He even went out of his way to call someone on my behalf during the initial consult advice visit ! Although my case is helpless he was honest and told me instead of lying and taking my money

Best Of The Best
If your looking for the TOP GUN in Immigration Lawyers look no further Mr. Shulman and his team are the Best of the Best. take my advice dont just hire any lawyer . When dealing with Immigration you need someone that only handles Immigration cases. If your going to put your life and your family's future dont settle just for anyone go to the best and that would be Mr. Shulman. from start right thru past your hearing he and his team will be there to protect your rights and guide you thru the process. It took 8 months from start to finish My wife know has her green card and social security card so that she can start to work ,now in her hands. He is now handling the case for our son to come into the USA.Dont waste your time calling other lawyers just give Mr. Shulman a call, you'll be glad you did. Rossano

Just the Perfect Match for Our Issue!
We want to thank Ed Shulman for the fantastic job he did in helping secure a Green Card for my partner! A little over a year ago, my partner was researching immigration lawyers and came upon this website. What a godsend! We had consulted with two previous attorneys, and both had been quite discouraging about the prospect of my friend getting a Card. Mr. Shulman was encouraging from the first! He provided the requisite information and outlined the procedures involved. His wonderful assistant helped, too, to fill out the complicated forms and submit all papers under the firm's letterhead. There was no way we could have done any of this without their expert help and advice. Ed Shulman is a nationally renowned lawyer in his field; he is courteous and kind; and he made the "ordeal" relatively easy and painless. In addition, while we didn't do a lot of comparison shopping with regard to charges, we think his fees were reasonable and fair. If there was a way to give Ed Shulman a rating higher than five-stars, we would happily do so. Thank you, Mr. Shulman. We owe you a lifelong thanks!

Edward Shuleman a super star
Edward Shuleman, He has always made me feel assured, confident and more than just another case or client. In the 1+year I have known him, he has always gone above and beyond to help and support me with many things. He knows his profession very well and always gets the very best possible results. He has always been available to talk and advise me, never too busy for me and always answers my phone calls.He is a very strong willed, determined and caring person with a heart of gold. I applied for my case in Jan and had my work authorization in march and got my green card in October that was quick only because of mr. shuleman.
