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 contro...l 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!

The BEST Immigration Lawyer

Attorney Edward Shulman was introduced to me as a blessing in disguise during one of the most crucial phases in my life. And, that has proved very lucky for me. In our very first conversation - I felt so connected with him that I instantly decided that I would love to work with him to resolve a criti...cal immigration issue I was facing. He was very approachable, a thorough professional at work and also an incredible listener. His knowledge on Immigration is definitely an asset, but his ability to make the client comfortable is extraordinary. The client and attorney relation should be based on trust, and fortunately Ed instilled that trust in me for his Law Firm right from our first conversation. He not only brilliantly resolved my immigration issue but also was available round the clock for any questions and support beyond his agreement unlike my previous attorney. I can confidently say, that if it was not for him, my Immigration Issue would have not been technically resolved in a better way. I am truly grateful to Ed and his team for being awesome Attorney's in Law. I would certainly recommend Attorney Edward Shulman Esq., for any assistance related to Immigration. He is simply incredible. Thank You Ed!

The Most Amazing Immigration Attorney!!!

Edward Shulman was the absolute best choice for my husband, Michael's, transition into becoming a U.S. Citizen. From start to finish, Ed was a true professional who was completely on top of the immigration process and the management of our endless paperwork. He is particularly knowledgeable, depen...dable and knew exactly what to do--guiding us through all of my husband's meetings and making sure everything was in place until the very end. His turnaround time was not only quick but extremely efficient. He is definitely the "go to" attorney for anything related to immigration. We cannot say enough about the wonderful experience we had with Ed! He made it easy and alleviated any stress or worry in what to expect and is a results-driven attorney. We both highly recommend Ed Shulman!!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
