Outstanding Lawyer!

I retained attorney Mr. Shusterman to handle my citizenship application and it resulted to me being officially sworn in as an American citizen in just a short 5 months from the time my Naturalization Application was filed. I am really grateful to Mr. Shusterman for successfully handling my citizenshi...p application. Retaining Mr. Shusterman to handle my citizenship application was the best decision I had ever made. Mr. Shusterman is truly a leader in immigration field. He is extremely knowledgeable in immigration law and very professional and thorough in completing all required steps. He was also very accessible and he responded to all of my email and phone called promptly. He and his staffs have exceeded my expectations in every way. I really appreciate for the great confidence he gave me and his continued support throughout the whole process. He is truly an amazing and an outstanding immigration attorney any one would envy to have. Aside from being an outstanding immigration attorney, he is very compassionate, caring and understanding individual. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of resolving immigration issues without reservation or hesitation. Mr. Shusterman you are the best!! Please keep up your good work!

Should have used his firm from the beginning for my green card application

I had used another law firm to start my green card application and basically was in a holding pattern for what seemed like forever. I had to go through the labor certification process which, being from CA, put me in a long line while waiting. Communication with that law firm was minimal and they ju...st kept putting me off or brushing off my concerns about what seemed like an excessive amount of time waiting. They just didn't seem to be on top of anything. Lo and behold, that law firm closed down. I was in an absolute panic wondering what was going to happen to my application...would I have to start all over again, it was already 4.5-5 years into the process, where was my paperwork even if I could find another lawyer? I saw an ad for Carl Shusterman in the yellow pages and I called his office. I was able to schedule a consultation very quickly and Carl, personally, talked to me about his experience as an immigration lawyer, what he could do to help me out and what the next steps would be. Honestly, I was a little concerned because I had just been burned. But he spoke with such reassurance and confidence that he put me at ease. I felt comfortable that he could help me out. And boy, did he! Within 2 years of hiring him, I had the green card in my hand. During that time, his firm kept me well-informed of the process, handled my paperwork in a timely fashion and responded quickly to any questions or concerns that I had. He and his firm seemed to know exactly what to do with the most up-to-date information to move my case along in the labor certification process, the biometrics and ultimately the finalization of my green card application. I know that I could still contact them if I had any other questions. I have to say that if I hadn't hired his firm, I'd probably still be waiting almost 3 years later (got the green card in Sept 2007) and would not have been able to work and travel the country as I have in that time. I would highly recommend his firm.

EXCELLENT, GREAT AND TRUSTWORTHY FIRM.

Law offices of Carl Shusterman is straight forward, effifcient, trustworthy, knowledgeable, supportive, fast and provide good service. I know this firm since 2004 and they helped me to get my green card within a year and helped to get my re-entry permit without any hassle within a month. Now they ar...e working to get my citizenship. They respond to my e-mail instantly. Ms. Ana Cruz (paralegal)- she is amazing- very professional, available at any time answering questions and keeping you informed every step you need to know. She is at your side as a friend when stressed. I would like to express my gratitude to Ms Ana cruz and the law firm and suggest to have a consultation with the Law offices of carl Shusterman to feel the change and to save the money. I have been working with this firm from Tucson, AZ and never faced any problem. Mercy

Supportive and Professional

God sends angels in different forms for our family it came as Elif Keles. She is an awesome person always willing to go the extra mile. We did not feel alone during the hard times. Throughout the case(deportation), she was always supportive, caring, and understanding. She is an amazing attorney ve...ry professional and knowledgeable. Elif always returned my calls or emails whenever I had a question or concern, even when I had to talk to her during her days off. It is so nice to be able to express your concerns to an attorney and have things explained to you with out being rushed or bombarded with terms you don’t understand. Our whole family is very pleased with Elif Keles she is just awesome. And WE are very happy to have our family member home. Thank you Mrs. Shusterman for having Mrs. Keles in your team.
