Matthew Clark Shaftel

Matt handled a rather complex citizenship application for my Canadian husband, and we are so pleased with his work. Very reasonable fees, always quick to respond/answer questions, and we really felt like he prioritized any action items needed for the case (getting responses to requests for informati...on handled promptly, not waiting until the deadline). He was very good about checking in with us regularly regarding the status of the case and also giving us insight on how our case was going compared to other recent cases he handled, which was helpful and reassuring in this political climate where changes to immigration law and policy seem to be in the headlines daily!

For the last 3 years and counting, we've relied on SHAFTEL LAW for all of our employment immigration needs. As a fast growth technology start-up, we require quick and rapid responses to ensure that we can hire the best and brightest. Not only does SHAFTEL LAW help us quickly transfer new employees on... nonimmigrant visas, but they also provide our employees with piece of mind by expertly navigating the green card process. SHAFTEL LAW has the expertise of large national firms, but still provides these service at a very reasonable price point. Steve Senior Business Consultant Smart Wires, Inc., Union City, California

I came to the United States, entered "legally" with a passport when I was six years old, and just this year I was able to obtain my permanent residence, I am now 33years old! Have had lawyer after lawyer, and it seemed as if I was wasting my hard-earned dollars with them! After over Ten Grand from on...e lawyer, almost another five thousand $ with another. I began to look for different options. I have a clean record so I thought, "how hard could it be to do it on my own?" ...to my surprise it was very hard! I was fortunate enough to have found Matt, by just doing my research. I chose Matt because he was very friendly over the phone, very helpful right off the bat. I could not be more happy to have chosen Matt to represent me. My case wasn't so difficult, so I didn't understand why other lawyers could not help me.With less than one year Matt helped me receive a work permit then my green card :) Something that my parents and I had worked so hard to get for many many years. Matt is a very knowledgeable lawyer, very humble individual. He takes the time to fully explain every situation and scenario, to help his clients understand each and every process.He did not come off as being just about the money, he does what he does because he loves to help individuals, and is about doing the right" thing. My family and I are very grateful for all of Matt's help. With Trump being in office now, we were terrified of being separated. Me having to go to a country I've hardly lived in, and worse being away from my kids. Now we can continue our lives more at ease. i would recommend Matt to anyone going through any immigration issues. He is by far one of the best immigration lawyers I have came across! ( & there have been plenty) ;) Thank you Matt :)

Mr. Shaftel answered all my questions. He doesn't sugar coat things and let's you know how things may or may not turn out. I appreciate that every time I called his office he made himself readily available. He is very professional and fair with his pricing. He met all deadlines and I became a natura...lized citizen within four months of me hiring him. I would definitely recommend him and use him again. I also want to add that his assistant Norma is also professional and great at her job.
