THE BEST LAW FIRM IN CALIFORNIA

I am very please with the work ethic that Carl Shusterman has for his clients. Personally I felt at ease knowing that my case was handled by true professionals that care for us and that knew the law in regards to immigration matters. His paralegal Ana Cruz was exceptional in communicating what was ...needed and her constant fallow up's where very helpful and impressive to us. I would highly recommend Mr.Shusterman and his team to get the job done . Thank you for all your hard work and constant communication with us . Your team of lawyers and Ana Cruz (paralegal) made our process painless and worry-free.

The best immigration lawyer in the U.S.

I got my greencard more than 10 years ago. Before I reached Mr. Shusterman I had met 22 lawyers and none of them knew that I could be a permanent resident in this country. When I went to his office it didn't take even 10 minutes for him to tell me that I will be receiving a greencard within that y...ear. I cannot forget how light my shoulders felt!! Mr. Shusterman was tremendously knowledgeable and the process went very quickly. Paralegal who helped me from the beginning to the end was also very organized, prompt and sweet! If anyone needs immigration help I highly recommend his law firm.

Trustworthy and dedicated attorney.

Law Offices of Carl Shusterman is a big immigration law firm in Los Angeles, and I would add from my part, a great, trustworthy, and dedicated attorney, committed to their clients with an extreme care, responsiveness and follow up practicing very good, competitive and reasonable prices for their serv...ices. After interviewing multiple firms, I decided to go through the process of submission of an I-140 (EB1) self-petition with Carl Shusterman having conviction after first consultation that is very experienced and honest attorney in matter of immigration. A wonderful paralegal Jay Pounders encouraged and supported me from first day and has been a faithful counselor and contributor to the success of my case (approval of an EB1 I -140 petition ) Jay was extremely accommodating, generous, and responsive as well as knowledgeable, responding immediately to any of my questions and constantly mindful of my needs. Every meeting, call, and email was productive and encouraging and I could count on him and his team to be responsive, professional and thorough. It is comforting and reassuring to find in a law office a paralegal so experienced, intelligent, kind, and trustworthy. Jay is a unique individual who will exceed your expectations. As stated, I recommend him and Law Offices of Carl Shusterman without reservation.

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

Best in the Business

I can honestly say that Mr. Carl Shusterman and his team are probably the best in the business when it comes to immigration matters. Carl's greatest asset is his prior work experience as a former INS prosecutor. My family and I were on the verge of being deported from the United States. Because of... Carl's expertise and dedications, not only are we allowed to remain in this country permanently but are on path of obtaining citizenship. Carl is very professional and caring when it comes to explaining legal matters to his clients. Carl will always put you at ease. He even allowed us to call him at home on evenings and weekends for urgent matters. Now, that's impressive. We also have had the pleasure to work with his other team members (Elif Keles and Ellen Lee). Because of their tireless efforts, our immigration issues were resloved in a matter of months instead of years. It is without a doubt that we will strongly recommend Carl Shusterman to others. After all, whether or not you get to stay in this country is all depend on the compentency of your attorney. And this is something you don't want to compromise.
