Top Notch.

I contacted Carl Shusterman after I went through 2 lawyers in the bay area regarding my imigration needs. The first impression I got was someone who was open and forthright. He painted the scenario that was not exuberant but had opimism in the final result. Though it took five years to accomplish my ...goal, every step of the way was handled in a prompt and professional manner. Judy Lu, who oversaw my case was simply the best. She was on spot at every juncture and made sure my employer and I respond in a timely manner. She is extremely professional, knowledgable and responsive to every questions i had. Ms. Lu is a huge asset to the firm. Thank you Judy and Carl.

Fantastic!

This firm was recommended to us by several friends who had used them for similar cases to ours.We were pretty nervous about putting our trust into peple we had never met before,having only spoke over the phone several times.How wrong could we have been!!They were amazing,Mr, Shusterman was a complete... gentle man very understanding and helpful,answered every question we could have thought of,told us what to expect and how long it would take.Our lawyer was Amy Prokop, who was equally amazing, she was professional,easy to talk to,and funny,On the day of our interview she was great ,she told us exactly what was going to happen and she was right .She really put us at ease when we needed it most,and last but not least our paralegal Ana Cruz was fantastic also, we called her sooo many times asking questions about paperwork and so on and she was great gave us all the information we needed and if she didint know something she found out very quickly for us.All in all if you decide to use this firm you will not be disappointed.We could 'nt have asked for a better experience!

Journey from a visa problem to a green card in hand

I was referred to Mr. Carl Shusterman after I found myself with an expired visa and some serious immigration trouble, and another firm couldn't help me. Mr. Shusterman quickly devised a detailed and thorough plan that his team, including Elif Keles and Judy Lu, then executed to perfection. Ms. Kele...s prepared me for and attended a court appearance with me, and it all went very smoothly. Once the visa problem was resolved, Ms. Lu also guided me through the green card process. She was extremely well organized, kept me informed, and was always prompt and thorough in answering my questions. I now have green card in hand!! I would highly recommend Mr. Shusterman and his team, and personally would not consider going anywhere else for immigration help.

Outstanding Immigration Attorney

Mr. Shusterman and his team of attorneys are outstanding and clearly some of the best in the field of immigration law, based on our experience. We (my spouse and I) recently got our Green cards approved, Mr. Shusterman’s office representing as our attorney. After being stuck in the black hole o...f immigration backlog for many years, we had almost given up hope for any resolution soon, till we got in touch with Mr. Shusterman, who assured us that cross-chargeability would work in our case and that there was light at the end of the tunnel. Throughout the course of our consultations, I came to know Mr. Shusterman as an extremely knowledgable and experienced attorney. His approach was realistic coupled with optimism. We were given the entire, bigger picture, before being focused on the specifics of our case, which gave us a sound understanding of the whole, and confidence in Mr. Shusterman’s ability to pursue our case. I appreciate their office for being approachable, extremely professional and pushing relentlessly for the success of our filing. Personally, I do not feel we could be in better hands, and sometimes regret that we could’ve easily shaved off atleast a year of waiting in the backlog if we had approached them earlier. Can’t thank them enough. Highly recommended!

True and trusted friend in deed in time of need

Me and my wife have just been approved for the permanent residency and I just can't express how relieved that the long ordeal and wait is finally over. I have gone through no.of status changes fromB2-JI-HIB and now finally Adjusted . Like others before me Mr Shusterman's esteemed firm must have proc...essed thousands of cases having different scenarios. His firm was involved inmy case from the JI-HIB Conversion to finally through to Adjustment to PR. While I don't know about the others, his FIRM right fromt he get go was involved with us very intimately and professionally in providing the infos, the much needed documents, necessary feedbacks, and sometimes was even warning against complacency in terms of time sensitive matters. His office is a mixture of very friendly, caring and dedicated individuals who think the clients as one of themselves. In my case , Judy Lu Sr paralegal and Attny Rajakrishna Iyer was mostly involed though in their absense their was always other attny with quick feedback and necessary advice promptly available, and truly I never had the impression of being adrift. These two individuals I mentioned was not only caring and dedicated, they also were always behind me in getting together the important pieces promptly, with correction and most important,I always received the emails/ repliesfrom Judy/ IYER almost immediately regarding the next course of action with explanation.. I have called them so many times including odd times , but the response was always friendly , compassionate and professional. There was always an air of encouragement. Being aware of Carl Shusterman's background as an experienced Immigration Attny,I always had the feeling that my papers will be completed on a successful note,and that is what his dedicated staff has always done. My heartfelt thanks and appreciation to their dedication
