Our family thanks Carl deeply!

A friend recommended Carl as being the go-to attorney in Immigration law. I was pleasantly surprised to not only find an awesome attorney, but a kind and considerate professional along with that. Always positive and attentive, he makes a seemingly complicated process both easy to understand and smoot...hly completed. I would never consider putting such an important life matter in anyone's hands but Carl Shustermans'.

110% Professional, honest, and trustworthy team of lawyers

I am a teacher who came to the States on a Visiting Scholar visa. My school district was very happy with my work and agreed to sponsor me for an H1B visa first and then for my permanent residence application. Since the very beginning of the whole process, Mr. Shusterman was always available for any i...mportant consultation. Mr. Shusterman explained all the application processes and their requirements very clearly. He and his associates did also provide very clear information regarding fees and other costs. At any time did I have any bad surprise regarding the process fees, no matter how long the process would take. Mr. Shusteman's assistants took care of all the minor details: Ms. Judith Lu did a phenomenal job providing all the paperwork and information to my school district. She has always been available for any consultation. She made the whole process absolutely easy to understand and follow for me and my district's HR department. I just simply did not have to worry at all about any paperwork or any piece of information. Ms. Lu was literally always available to answer and ready to compile, send, or fax any necessary documents. In my particular case, I had to apply for several renewals of my H1B visa while completing my permanent residence application. Mr. Shusterman and Ms. Lu did an excellent job in explaining and coordinating all the details of both processes. They guided me and my district's HR department through every single step. Both, Mr. Shusterman and Ms. Lu did not hesitate to contact my district's HR representatives to clarify any point. In sum, Mr. Shusterman and his team of lawyers and assistants have enabled me to have a successful professional life and career here in the United States . I highly recommend Mr. Shusterman's legal services to anybody that needs help in the field of immigration. Mr. Shusterman and his team will always go the extra mile to help their clients.

The Perfect Lawyer In Your Immigration Needs

Atty. Carl Shusterman and his staff, Maria Cobian genuinely helped us in our immigration needs. We personally appreciate their great service in turning our case from hopelessness into reality. Wayback 2005, my wife was working in an agency as a traveling nurse when unfortunately the immigration... found some inconsistencies in the part of the her employer who has no enough evidence to support financially all 10 sponsored nurses for their immgration status. Consequently, the immigration denied all of the sponsored nurses' application submitted by their employers. So my wife and I went to find a hospital over in Los Angeles area where she can be sponsored for permanent resident. She was eventually interviewed and accepted to work in the said hospital and referred to visit Atty. Carl Shusterman for consultation about our case. Atty. Carl Shusterman gave us his 30-minute time LISTENING to us and giving us a detailed scenario of our case. He was optimistic and honest enough to tell us that HE WILL DO HIS BEST but he did not give us a false hope. Since then, he processed our case accordingly and he gave us also ways to pay the total cost in an installment basis, excellent communication between his paralegal - Maria Cobian, updates were on time and they always took care the rest of the details. They were honest people and they are truly higly recommended! These are the people with integrity!

I must acknowledge the Law Offices of Carl Shusterman for their expert, diligent and responsive attention to my successful petition for permanent residency. Everyone in their office treated the sponsoring employer and my family with courtesy and respect. I am particularly grateful for the assistanc...e and outstanding customer service of Judy Lu, Sr. Paralegal, who guided us through the process from H1-B to PERM to adjustment of status for permanent residency. If your desire is to live and work in the United States and ultimately acquire citizenship, it is extremely important to have the best legal representation for your immigration process. Whatever your legal immigration needs may be, you are in good hands with the Law Offices of Carl Shusterman.

SIMPLY SUPERB!

Do you worry about your permanent residency? Does the complexity of the application process and prolong delay bother you? Does the thought of USCIS not processing your petition on time worry you? Then you need the good folks at Shusterman's! We first met Mr. Carl Shusterman at his office, on May 1...1th 2006. He along with his esteemed staff were very kind, answered all our questions diligently with extreme confidence. With my background, I was certain to fall into the EB2 Category. But Mr. Shusterman thought otherwise; He was confident that with my research background and publications, I could apply in the EB1 Category bypassing labor. I was very concerned about it and doubted the whole process but was truly mistaken! From that moment on, we were assigned a Senior Paralegal and the wonderful Ms. Susan Zhang. They guided us throughout the process, every step and helped us with all the necessary paperwork ~ 131, 765, 140, 485. Within less than a year after applying, we received our green cards. We did have a few hiccups and that we received a couple of RFEs. But with their focused, organized, dedicated, in-depth understanding of Immigration law and expert guidance from Mr. Shusterman, we were able to sail past without any issues. I highly recommend their firm for anyone applying for Permanent Residency.
