Harvey Shapiro

Working with Harvey Shapiro was truly a turning point in my immigration journey. What immediately stood out to me was his years of experience and how deeply knowledgeable he is about the latest immigration policies and legal updates. In a process that felt overwhelming and uncertain, Harvey brought c...larity and calm. My case was complex, but Harvey approached it with creativity and confidence. He didn’t just follow a standard path. He looked at every angle and found solutions I never would have known were possible. I always felt like he was in my corner, advocating strongly on my behalf and keeping me informed every step of the way. Thanks to his dedication and sharp legal mind, I achieved an outcome I wasn’t sure was even possible. I’m incredibly grateful to have had him as my attorney and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone facing immigration challenges.

Harvey Shapiro's exceptional legal expertise and unwavering commitment were evident throughout my complex immigration case. From our initial consultation to the resolution of my case, Mr. Shapiro demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, dedication, and legal acumen. Mr. Shapiro's deep understand...ing of immigration law was evident from the start. He meticulously analyzed every aspect of my case, identifying key issues and formulating a comprehensive strategy to address them. His knowledge of immigration laws and regulations was truly impressive, and he navigated through the complexities of my case with ease. Throughout the process, Mr. Shapiro kept me informed and reassured, providing clear explanations and realistic expectations. His communication skills are exceptional, and he always made himself available to address my concerns and answer my questions. What sets Mr. Shapiro apart is his genuine compassion and empathy. He understood the stress and uncertainty I was facing and provided not only legal support but also emotional support, which was invaluable to me during this challenging time.

I needed some advice for an ESTA Visa Waiver question. Caryl Kawalsky Uzelac was recommended to me by a friend. Big mistake. I had used a different lawyer before (Graham Prichard) who was awesome, but he was unfortunately busy at the time, so I needed urgent advice. Caryl was US$500 for an initia...l consultation, which she gave me about a 15 minute phone call. Incidentally, this was double Graham's initial fee. I was potentially going to overstay my ESTA because my flights home to Australia were cancelled by the airlines due to COVID border restrictions in Australia. I thought it might be best to leave the US to e.g. Europe for a few weeks then come back to the US then fly home to Australia when Australian borders opened. She suggested I apply for satisfactory departure which would give me an extra 30 days. When I received advice from the border control, they stated stated that "the 30 day satisfactory departure for COVID is not allowed any more for any country". Caryl should have known this, or at least checked it, and not advised me to apply for satisfactory departure. I believe this her professional obligation to me, which she failed. I then told her of the situation, and she never called back as promised. I overstayed my ESTA visa waiver and now am ineligible for a visa waiver in the future. I asked her to refund my money because her advice was incorrect and required me to then book flights to Canada, then England, then Australia, but she declined and still claims she gave me good advice.

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!
