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 was instrumental in helping me navigate my immigration process. From our first meeting, he was clear, honest, and incredibly thorough. What really stood out was his attention to detail and how personally invested he seemed in my case. Harvey always made time to answer my questions and never ma...de me feel rushed. Thanks to his guidance, everything went smoothly and I felt confident every step of the way. I highly recommend him to anyone needing immigration support.

Harvey turned what I expected to be a daunting process into a seamless journey. From the first consultation, it was clear that his deep expertise and years of experience were unmatched. He handled my case with exceptional skill, anticipating challenges before they arose and navigating every hurdle wi...th ease. Harvey demonstrated an impressive ability to simplify complex legal concepts, ensuring I fully understood every step of the process. He was more than just a lawyer—he was a true advocate, dedicated to my success. I couldn't have asked for a better ally in this process. Highly recommend!

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.
