Ellen is an expert and a true professional!

I am a commercial litigation attorney with 40 years of practice experience, so I thought I could handle my wife's immigration case myself. Wrong! I really screwed it up and she was denied a green card! OMG! What to do? Fortunately, somebody referred me to Ellen. We retained her and she straightened e...verything out, undid all my mistakes and got a wonderful result. My wife got her green card and, a few years later, became a U.S. citizen. All thanks to Ellen Ma Lee! She is knowledgeable, straightforward, honest and reasonable in her fees.

THANK YOU!

If you're looking for an immigration attorney, then you know very well that there are hundreds to choose from and it can be very confusing and overwhelming to choose the right one. The best decision that I made regarding my immigration process was selecting to work with the office of Carl Shusterman.... From his very informative website, to my first meeting with attorney Carl Shusterman and to the end of my case, I felt very confident that my case was being taken care of in the best possible way. Paralegal Ana Cruz and Attorney ELLEN LEE were kind, thoughtful, sincere, gracious, helpful, funny, knowledgeable and an absolute delight to work with from beginning to end...they make you feel like family rather than just a client. It is a pleasure for me to have such wonderful service and I highly recommend the Law Office of Carl Shusterman, especially paralegal Ana Cruz and Attorney ELLEN LEE.

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.

Thank you, Ellen!

Our previous immigration attorney completely screwed our immigration application. Carl and Ellen took over our immigration case during that difficult time for us. What a night and day difference! We got our green card in the end. Well, thank Ms. Ellen Lee and her paralegal, Ms. Maria Cobian for their... hard work, which brought our dead case back to life. Ellen also helped me obtain a new home loan by answering questions and explaining our immigration status to a mortgage company. Their services even extend beyond regular immigration issue. All in all, this is the best immigration service team you can get. Wish we could secure Ellen's help in the first place.
