I approached Carl Shusterman some years ago with a very complicated immigration situation, after having consulted a few other attorneys. Mr. Shusterman's positivity was apparent from the moment I explained the details of my case. His optimism, however, wasn't simply a reflection of his attitude, but ...was based upon his years working as an immigration judge as well as his practice as an attorney. Unbelievably, despite how skeptical the previous attorneys had been about my case, Mr. Shusterman had actually handled a very similar set of circumstances. His analysis of the relevant law, and his understanding of how it would be applied, made all the difference. There is no doubt in my mind that, without him present at my interviews, I wouldn't be able to report that, as of yesterday, after years spent waiting, I took my oath and became a U.S. citizen. Thank you, Mr. Shusterman, for all your help, and for all your support along the way.

Consummate professional, exceptional knowledge, compassionate human being are under statements when used to describe Mr. Shusterman. Tagging him as "Best Immigration Lawyer" is a start. Bar none, he's the best! After consulting 9 overpriced attorneys (I paid nearly twice as much to quacks on Park ...Avenue and San Francisco), I visited Mr. Shusterman with no optimism. I was wrong. While others overcharged and dished out arrogance, Mr. Shusterman was matter of fact and to the point. He gave no false hope; evaluated the situation quickly and recommended a course of action in just 30 minutes. I wondered how he was able to advise so quickly. I guess that such clarity comes from being an insider (having started his career as an immigration officer) followed by four decades defending immigrant rights. While his knowledge is worth it's weight in gold, even more compelling is Mr. Shusterman's humanity. Mr. Shusterman's compassionate understanding and ability to listen are exceptional! There wasn't an occasion, during a three year period, when I contacted Mr. Shusterman, that my call was not returned within a short period. He was always patient, attentive and reassured me within the constraints of the law and bureaucratic limitations. In summary, Mr. Shusterman's a consummate professional with unparalleled knowledge of the law and keen insights. He's a seasoned veteran with unwavering compassion and at an incredibly reasonable price given his expertise. I'm at a loss of superlatives to describe Mr. Shusterman. Suffice it to say, that it has been an honor and privilege to have had his counsel.
