Great service with positive results

My case was not a strong case for eb1b green card. My material is messy without focus in the beginning. Carl's associate helped me a great deal and my case was approved in 2 month without 'request for evidence'. Four things impressed me most during the filing preparation: 1. my lawyer helped me re-wr...ite some of the reference letters which made my contributions much more clear and evident 2. my lawyer organized my material in a way that is beyond beautiful 3. I got many key advices to avoid pitfalls, for example, the number of claims etc. and 4. my specific questions were always answered in a very timely fashion. Overall, I highly recommend this lawyer for anyone seeking employment-based green card.

Highly Recommended! PERM approved in 2 weeks.

Our company retained the law firm of Carl Shusterman to handle a PERM process in connection with a green card. We worked with attorney Rajakrishna Iyer and senior paralegal Jay Pounders. Jay was helping us with every step in the process and keep us posted all the time. They are truly professionals,... we just got the PERM application approved in only 2 weeks. Their services are great and we strongly recommend the law offices of Carl Shusterman.

Capability indisputable and resourcefulness beyond expectation…

Unparalleled Success … Basically, the legal services rendered by the Law offices of Carl Shusterman are pretty much the same as what other immigration law firms may offer. However, LOCS do things credibly different. Hundreds of satisfied clients expressed that professional expertise coupled with y...ears of relative experience are among the extensive list of incomparable qualifications that are attributed to the success of this law firm. My family’s personal experience working with them, however, made it more in-depth in realizing what really made this Law firm indeed successful and that is, the company’s most important resource – exceedingly dedicated workforce. Passion for work and concern for clients… My family was fortunate to have worked with two of the Law firm’s highly skilled, committed and very compassionate staff; senior paralegal Elsa Garcia and Attorney Amy Prokop. Working with Elsa turned out to be a flawless process. From the gathering of information; filing of all the documents and until we received our application notices from USCIS, every bit and pieces were well-organized and put together smoothly in a timely fashion. From then on, Ms. Garcia would keep us informed of the status of our application from time to time. She worked diligently and thoroughly handled the paperwork with sense of accuracy. Her level of patience is enormous and her concern for our case is sincere, as if it was her own. Capability indisputable and resourcefulness beyond expectation… It is noteworthy to mention that our case (I485) was adjudicated in less than 5 months from the time it was submitted. Considering the fact that when my dad passed on 2 years ago, we thought that the approved petition was over. It was indeed so disappointing since we patiently waited in line for 18 long years. And as an added insult to injury, my older daughters “aged out” already, so to speak. We know that it’s tough, but knowing that your case is being handled by a credible lawyer in the person of Attorney Amy Prokop, made us feel at ease and assured during the entire process. Not to mention about her accolades, what I appreciate most about Amy is that, she will never give you any false hopes or promises but, you always get that sense of conviction from her that she is doing everything in her capacity to get things done reasonably. Her mere presence during our interview, her vigilance and organization of all the necessary documentation and factual references made all these things possible for us today. We firmly believed that it can be done, but we never thought that it will come too soon. True enough, my entire family’s green card application was approved on the day of our interview. Notwithstanding the fact that given the complexity of our situation, we are now permanent residents of the United States. All the work and resourcefulness that Amy put into and astutely presented during our interview to ensure that our case will be approved paid off. And she has indeed done it for us! My entire family is so indebted for the effort, moral support and patience that she has generously provided. Attorney Prokop has been our stronghold during this entire episode of our roller coaster ride. I would like to mention that my children appreciate her for being approachable and insightful. Her kindness and respect for others makes working with her more comfortable. We felt that Attorney Prokop’s and Ms. Garcia’s exemplary work attitude, profound knowledge and prestigious professionalism are customary to every single case and every client that they work with. Make the right decision… Finally, I would like to say that there are so many immigration law firms out there and I know that you will agree with me when I say that no two companies are alike. In the same manner, we can agree that every case is different and each individual situation is unique. Yet, all of us who succeeded shared one common aspect amongst us, other than our success stories – that during our individual legal battle, we were all represented by a team of highly c

The best immigration law firm...

This is the best law firm that one can ask for... My family had our F4 I-485 adjustment of status denied on Oct 29, 2010, reasoned as Canadians being in and out of the US triggerred unlawfully presense!!! We had consulted with different lawyers but none could get us the clear response, some eve...n not taking our case for consideration. But thanks God, we found Mr. Shusterman's law firm and came for help on 11/15/2010. Especially thanks to Attorney Ellen Ma Lee for her effort, knowledge, and expertise, she explained clearly and confidently and took the case on herself. We immediately felt the peace, comfort, and confidence after the very first consultation with her. And Yes, after 2 weeks of having her as our attorney, our green cards came in the mail. We got them on 11/29/2010 surprisingly. Once again, thanks so much from the bottom of our hearts for your help and the experience that you possess. Our lives would have been so much different if we did not retain your service. Also thanks to Maria Cobian for her quick response and great communication. To anybody looking for immigration help, please do not waste your time looking around, this is it! None out there is better than the law firm of Mr. Shusterman's.

The Best Law Firm

Atty. Shusterman was referred to us by our friend because we have tried other attorneys in the past that did not do what they were supposed to do. On our first consultation everything was explained regarding my case three years ago. With the complexity of the case I felt confidence in him that he c...ould help me with it. We have heard many endorsements from family and friends regarding stories of success from other cases. With his staff that handled the case help me enormously get through my situation. Starting with the paralegal Judy Lu made great follow ups and communicated with me and was quick to answer all my questions. Also Atty. Ellen Lee made it easy for me by giving me support during my interview. Overall I have never experienced a law firm that followed with my case like Atty. Carl Shusterman. They are professional and cares a lot about their clients. I finally received my approval in the mail before thanksgiving and will be receiving my green card in a few weeks. I would like to thank Atty. Shusterman, Atty Ellen Lee, and paralegal Judy Lu for doing such an excellent Job. I highly recommend this law firm to anyone seeking immigration assistance.
