The best of the very best.

I found Mr Shusterman and his firm after researching the internet. I have used several immigration lawyers in the past, for H-1 visa, green card, etc. This time, I needed a super heavy weight immigration attorney because USCIS denied my naturalization application and started deportation procedures (f...or reasons I will keep private). He was very direct from the beginning and his fee structure was simple and comparable to other law firms of less fame. Long story short, Mr Shusterman and his team where able to reverse both immigration decisions and I am now a US citizen. While elated, I was also shocked at the result because of the way USCIS presented the issues to me. It takes a rare lawyer to be able to succeed in reversing BOTH such decisions. He saved my career and my family.

Carl Shusterman - Superb lawyer

I can't think of anyone more capable than Carl Shusterman in the area of immigration law. Mr. Shusterman not only has considerable personal experience of over 30 years practicing immigration law, both for the government and in private practice, but he has an uncommon interest in the lives of the cli...ents he serves. He is truly remarkable. There is no one I would rather use or recommend than Carl Shusterman in this area.

Top attorney in his field

I work with Merritt Hawkins & Associates, the largest physician search and consulting firm in the United States. For the past 20 years, we have relied on Mr. Shusterman and his law office to assist us in cases where we have recruited international physicians on behalf of our clients. As the length... of our relationship indicates, we have found the results that Mr. Shusterman and his firm have achieved for us to be uniformly excellent. Mr. Shusterman is nationally known for his immigration law expertise and is one of the most respected immigration attorneys in the United States. We have found his intregrity, professionalism and expertise to be exceptional. Mr. Shusterman is an "attorney's attorney" who is able to resolve immigration cases beyond the scope of many lawyers, and his offices have been decisive in helping us successfully resolve difficult cases. We continue to rely on Mr. Shusterman as a key resource and I can recommend him without reservation.

Oustanding Expertise - Excellent experience

My husband and I were marred August 2005 and initiated our Application for permanent residence with Carl through the phone interview in early October of 2005. We had regular and clear communication via email with a very competent and helpful paralegal named Gale. Gale was very obliging in answering ...any and all questions she could answer, for myself and my husband who were completely new to most immigration technicalities. At any time she could not answer our questions due to legal protocol, she would forward our question to be promptly answered by our attorney Ellen for legal advice. When initial applications, medical examinations, and affidavits had begun processing, the firm advised us that a fee increase with USCIS was going into effect in short notice and they helped us to get everything filed before the increased fees would be incurred. When the final drafts of applications for our signature had a typo, the firm paid for all Fed-Ex overnight expenses to have the forms corrected, re-sent to us for signature, and returned Fed-Ex overnight in order to be filed before the fee increase would affect us. At each personal meeting with our Attorney, and throughout the interview process at INS, Ellen Lee was straight forward, knowledgeable, personable, and professional. She made the very daunting and difficult processes run smooth and simply. When we arrived at our interview with sweaty palms and nerves a wreck, her expertise and optimism assured us of what we were to find out shortly: that our entire process had been in the very best hands. Within the short span of 5 months, my husband received work permit, and a green card. In the time passed since we have needed their services the staff at Shustermans has still been available for advisement on the filing of application for removal of restrictions on Permanent residence. I cannot recommend highly enough any and every experience I have had with each person at Carl Shusterman's Firm, including Carl himself.
