Knowledgable, Caring , Great Results

My employer hired the law offices of Carl Shusterman for my work visa and permanent residency. My case was complicated and the process took several years. They helped me with my H-1, Labor Cert, VD, and consular process. I was in communication with Judy Lu, Raj Iyer and Ellen Lee. Th...eir work was consistently excellent. They were clear about every detail: documents needed, timeframe, opportune times to submit the material, etc. They timely answered any question I had and were successful obtaining results for me and my family. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants a firm that is knowledgable, caring and with a proved success record.

Peer Review

As a lawyer myself, I was very careful about selecting a law firm to handle my own immigration case. This was especially true after my husband and I had painfully waited more than 15 years to file a spouse-sponsored petition for a green card. The ability for us to file this type of petition was onl...y made possible in late June 2013 when the U.S. Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling to recognize equal rights and benefits under federal laws for married same-sex couples. Our case was not only deeply personal, but needed the experience and expertise of an immigration law firm that was up to date with the rapidly changing legal landscape for same-sex couples. Mr. Shusterman’s firm has definitely lived up to its stellar reputation and delivered great results in our case. Overall, the firm is well run and works seamlessly as a team. Throughout the firm’s representation, our case was handled with diligence, care, and professionalism at every level. The initial consultation was easily scheduled with friendly support staff. The firm maintained timely communications with us every step of the way. Our paralegal, Maria, assisted us with multiple government forms and expeditiously filed the petition at our request. As a result, USCIS accepted and processed our petition promptly without any request for evidence. Last, but certainly not least, we want to say a special “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. When I finally received my green card that my husband and I had waited for so long, I kept thinking to myself: if all law firms were as great as Mr. Shusterman’s, lawyers would surely be amongst the most beloved professions in America.

I am really grateful for having the Law Office of Carl Shusterman that handled my case. Attorney Raj and Judy Lu ‘s hard work was crucial for the successful outcome of my case. In addition, they were prompt in answering each and every question I addressed in a very professional and timely manner.... Their courtesy and enthusiasm in assisting me is beyond compare. My life is completely changed just because of them. I highly recommend them and the offices of Carl Shusterman to anyone who needs help in immigration.

Great Lawfirm!

I made an appointment with Mr. Shusterman for his firm's "initial consultation", and knew immediately that my wife and I were about to be in very good hands. He assigned our case to Attorney Ellen Lee. She is incredibly pleasant, knowledgeable, professional and was always very prompt in answering our... questions throughout the immigration process, right up until our interview where my wife was immediately granted citizenship. Along with Ellen, her assistant Elsa Garcia was very nice and helpful every step of the way. Look no further, you cannot go wrong with this amazing team!
