A great experience!

The BEST! Attorney Ellen Lee represented my wife and I in our immigration case. Throughout the entire process, Ellen proved to be knowledgeable, intelligent, accurate and trustworthy. Furthermore, she literally made us smile constantly and her presence made this process feel easier. My wife and would... highly recommend attorney Ellen for anyone in need of an immigration attorney.

I recommend Ellen Lee

I want to thank Ellen, Elsa, and Mr. Carl Shusterman for helping me to get through my case successfully. I would like to add special appreciation towards Ellen and Elsa and I must mention that they both make a great team. Two lawyers from "LA's Best Lawyers" list denied to take my case and at the sam...e time they sounded like all about money. Then I found Mr. Shusterman's office via Internet search, I thought about reading reviews and when I opened the reviews page I was astonished by the number of reviews he has - there were hundreds of reviews and all were positive so I decided to see him in person. And after meeting him I was very sure that this office is the one that can really help me out my complex situation. I was happy because Mr. Shusterman agreed to take my case and assured me that I will never lose my legal status while I am still in the process. To make long story short I want to say that today I am a Permanent Resident, only because of the help I received from this office. Ellen, Elsa like I said before make a good team and they are very professional in the way they deal with your situation. Elsa was always there any time I was in need to ask anything regarding my case. You are Great Elsa, keep up the good work. I also want to mention that this office is not about taking your money they all are actually devote themselves towards your case. Their fee is very reasonable - it's like getting a Rolls Royce in the price of Honda. I was really lucky to find them. Once again thanks everyone you guys are really the "best" as it says everywhere - magazines, Internet,etc. I definitely recommend their service to all the people out there in need of immigration help. And Ellen thanks for all the support you gave me through out this process I will stay in touch with you guys. Thanks

Excellent Service

Great service by Atty. Ellen Lee and her team with special thanks to Ms. Maria Cobian-Alvarado our paralegal. Aside from working on our immigration visas, she was very knowledgeable and reassured us regarding our concerns with adoption. Supportive and kept us informed at all times.

Family Immigration Law Guru

My husband and I want to say a big “thank you” to our attorney Ellen Ma Lee. Ellen is a seasoned counsel with expertise in family immigration. Ellen is not only knowledgeable about the law, but has a deep understanding of those human, but sometimes complex aspects of a marriage, which could become ...the focal point of a green card interview. Drawing from her experience of having appeared at numerous green card interviews, Ellen carefully analyzed the strength and weakness of our case and thoroughly prepared us for our interview. She astutely focused on the likely questions from the immigration officer in light of the ups and downs of my 15-year relationship with my husband. Ellen answered every question we had, and offered suggestions which turned out to be extremely helpful to our case submission. Perhaps most importantly, with her unparalleled expertise, Ellen guided us through the entire process, making us feel confident and at ease with the often intimating green card interview.

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.
