Harvey Shapiro

I was looking for Harvey's phone number in a haste to share with a friend and ran into this site. For what he has done for my Green Card case, I really had to register here and call spade a spade after seeing these negative reviews. Like someone mentioned earlier, maybe it's by one disgruntled client... of Harvey's. My experience was nothing short of a breeze. His impeccable legal knowledge and smartness to leverage that experience actually saved 2 months in my Labor filing and subsequent approval of I-140. Had that not happened, I may not have been able to extend my H1-B as the timing was all in conjunction. Net net result is everything wound up positively in time and I didn't have to leave the country temporary (which could have been the case if not for Harvey) I have referred many individuals and small business clients to work with Harvey and they are very happy!

Looking at the prior negative reviews made me realize that I owed to Harvey to share my own very positive experience. - I first hired Harvey in 2005 to help me change firms while on an H1B and coordinate with the immigration law firm of my new employer. Harvey connected with my employment lawyer an...d the HR department of the new firm. It was a breeze. - in 2006, I asked Harvey to help me oversee that same immigration law firm which my firm had then retained for my green card application Harvey's support was invaluable as the other law firm was clearly overwhelmed and unresponsive. Harvey helped me navigate the maze of all of the options available; I was able to steer the other law firm in the right direction and not miss any important deadlines. I got my green card 18 months later. - Recently, I hired Harvey to help me with my naturalization process. While this is a straightforward process, I wanted to be sure to do things right. And here too, Harvey and his team made the whole process seamless. Thinking about the previous negative reviews, maybe these people do not have experience working with a bad law firm? or maybe they were written by one single disgruntled client? Anyhow, based on my experience, I strongly recommend Harvey Shapiro.

My greencard process for EB2 was started by this useless individual because of whom I lost the most valuable 6 years of my greencard wait and had to start all the way from the beginning. I am still waiting for my greencard after 10 years. My labor application has lot of simple typo errors and was com...pletly misrepresented. During the tenure of the case I had lot of health issues like mental depression, anxiety and sleeplessness. He does not respond to your calls and his office staff is the worst.

Please stay away from this lawyer if at all possible. Never responds to client's concerns on time. Only shows interest until he gets money. After that he doesn't any interest and never care to return prompt responses while the client is left with anxiety. This happened to me many times. I had to go ...with this lawyer just because my employer's petition was initially started with this lawyer. Also, his fees are 30% higher than the industry. Despite paying such a high price, you rarely get attention you deserve. There are many better lawyers out there than this lawyer.

I would never ever recommend Harvey to any body. As other reviews says, he is the most unresponsive lawyer ever seen even after he charges hefty fees. My case is a EB1, I would say mine is one of the longest EB1 case ever, took 3.5 years to get the EB1 approved. He doesn't reply to emails, never take...s the phone call. His assistants are very arrogant.... These guys are slower than USCIS.
