Carl Shusterman's office is probably the best one! I had complicated case and I took my time to find a good lawyer. As I was setting up consultations with different lawyers all over LA and OC, every single lawyer was telling me my case was complicated, and there was a high chance I would have to go t...o an interview and then my application might still be denied, so we would have to apply to the Court of Appeal, and then if it was denied after that I would have to go back to my country of origin. It was all really scary and devastating to hear, since my whole life was already built here in the US: work, school, close friends and my significant other. US was my home already and I could not imagine it any other way. Therefore, hearing the possible negative outcomes from all those lawyers made me feel like they just did not care about me enough and did not believe in my case...I subconsciously started anticipating losing my home and the people I loved. I was getting anxiety attacks every so often, even though my mind was telling me that my reactions were very irrational, my case was not really that complicated, I am a good resident and contributor to the society. My physiological suffering ended the moment I sat down for a consultation with Carl Shusterman. He is so personable and light on the mood, he made me feel better right away. What I really liked about him was the honesty. He told me right away:"We are Mercedes of law companies. We are gonna be twice more expensive than many other places you might go to, BUT we will take very good care of you! Everything will be just fine" Yes! That is exactly what I needed. Someone who believe in my case 100%. Not someone who was focusing on the possible negative outcomes (don't get me wrong, those are definitely possibilities in any case), but someone who truly felt my story and my situation. Ellen Lee and Paralegal Elsa Garcia started working on my case. We put all the paperwork together right away. Before I new it, I already had fingerprints appointment! After that it was just a waiting game. I knew Ellen was working hard on my case, but the anticipation to find out what was happening was making me go crazy. Every time I felt that way, I would give them a call and they would make me feel all better each and every time!!!!(fyi, to those of you folks that are going to be working with Ellen, try not to bug her over the phone. Why? She is definitely nice enough to talk to you and return your call, but think about how many more people's case she is working on, plus your case. If she has to talk to everyone on the phone, she won't have any time left for working on the case itself!!!Would you rather have her win your case, or have some other folks calling her and taking her time away from winning YOUR case? exactly! Just email her, or talk to Elsa. She will make you feel better just as well. Elsa is the sweetest lady ever!! Very caring and motherly!) And one last thing, guess what happened with my case? It is not hard to guess everything went great. But the best part of it all, I DID NOT HAVE TO GO TO AN INTERVIEW AT ALL!! Unbelievable, all those scares from other lawyers, and there I am just staying at home one morning, getting ready for work and get a casual email:"You case has been approved. Your greencard will be coming in them mail,,," I could not believe my eyes. I wanted to cry, scream and run around from happiness. My mind could not comprehend how everything was done in such timely manner, with minimum involvement on my behalf and sooo painlessly. They are the best crew ever! I knew my case was not harder than many other cases out there, and all other lawyers were just trying to rip me off, but these folks just took such an amazing care of me! God bless your entire team. I am tearing up as I am typing this, though it has already been a few months. Carl, Ellen, and Elsa! I want you to know,you guys are like doctors!You make your "patients" heal from all the stress and get their lives back
