I am not very comfortable in writing English - and due to my health am having my daughter type this up for me. Although I personally never met with Mr. Carl Shusterman, my children met him and I met with his associate Ms. Ellen Ma Lee - an angel who saved me from my immigration nightmare, whom Atty.... Shusterman recommended to me in his office to work with me. My situation was complicated for all the wrong reasons and even my own consulate did not help me, however, when my children approached Atty. Shusterman's office, he not only patiently granted them an audience, studied the case in its entire detail before suggesting the different options open to them, he assured them that the United States of America and the laws / legal system herein, was diligent enough to protect the rights of all its residents and citizens and their immediate relatives. Attorney Shusterman put my case in the able hands of Atty Ellen Lee who worked very closely and persistently with my children to get all my paperwork together by suggesting the alternatives for the unavailability of certain documents (due to the fact there was no recordkeeping in India during the time of my birth etc.). I am a heart patient and have several health complications and when my 485 interview came up, I was extremely tense and worried since the general norm Is to grant approval without an interview. My children asked me not to worry since Atty. Lee would be here by my side to help represent my case to the adjudicating officer. Although the situation was a little worrisome, as my children informed me later, Atty. Lee just kept assuring me all along during the time of my prep that there was nothing to worry, even if I was not very comfortable speaking English, to tell the truth, to not deny my genuine ignorance on certain issues which led to the complexity of my case etc. She kept a keen eye on my health situation and was very perceptive of my feelings and anxiety. At the interview, I could not have asked for someone better to represent me, because she made me feel completely assured, by the easy manner in which she talked to the Adjudicating officers, presented the problems with the corrupt bureaucracy in my country, and what were the possible options and all the documentation we had provided etc. Needless to say, the officers were convinced of my helpless situation and I truly thank the US of A for being so supportive of its citizens and residents, and after a new technology test that they asked me to undergo, which proved my position, as suggested by Atty. Lee based on her knowledge of the system, my case was approved and I received my Green Card last week, less than eight months from the date of my application. My children found Atty. Shusterman on Google in their search of top immigration attorneys in 2006, after some local bay area immigration consultants and attorneys swindled us of a lot of money and yet almost botched up my case. However, after we came to the Law offices of Carl Shusterman, every situation, every challenge, every option was explored in detail, not only by the Atty. Shusterman himself, his able associates, Elif Keles and Ellen Lee. They are worth every penny that we spent as some of the previous reviewers have mentioned. We would not think of going to anyone else for our future immigration needs. Its not just about being knowledgeable and professional – it is about taking a personal interest in the wellbeing of their clients, no matter how complex the situation that makes Atty Shusterman and his associates like Atty Ellen Lee the best in what they do.

I had spoken with so many immigration attorneys and specialists and each promised so much, and delivered very little. It is amazing how many people there are out there willing to take your money and lie to you about your options. I'd been in the US for 25 years and could not find any answers or way... of becoming legal, despite my success as a college student and my devotion to numerous charitable organizations. Mr. Shusterman was very honest with my brother and I about what could be done, and what could not be done. His previous work with INS makes him an expert in immigration law, which can be quite cumbersome and complicated. Thanks to him and his hard working staff, I am now working in the field of my choice and finally realizing my dreams! Of course, he can't solve everyone's immigration problems, but he'll be honest with you about whether you have a case or not. Worth the money.

Straight forward, trustworthy and knowledgeable are just some of the qualifications that would describe the Law Offices of Mr. Carl M. Shusterman, since my first interview with Mr. Shusterman and his team the experience has been excellent!!, Mr. Jay Pounders (Senior Parlegal) has been there every ste...p of the way, he is amazing!, in few words he has shown a great profesionalism, keeping you informed and making the process simple. If I would have known this firm 9 years ago it would have saved me lots of time and money! I suggest that even if you believe you have a good immigration attorney, have a consultation with the Law Offices of Carl Shusterman.

The Law Offices of Carl Shusterman is the best I recommend. I give credit to Atty. Ellen Ma Lee, Atty. Amy Prokop and Paralegal Ana Cruz for their efforts in obtaining my citizenship. All of the staff were very knowledgeable, understanding,& caring their client feeling and 100% supportive. Guarantee...d they will never put you down. This office is very expert in immigration issues. Also, they can be contacted anytime, especially when you are feeling stressed and tense. They are at your side, considering you as family. Their payment plan is the best. Very reasonable, it won't hurt your pocket. Your immigration problem is solved without difficulty. Their service is fast and excellent!!. I am very happy that this law office represented me. I rate them as an “A” plus" law office. I want to share to others to go in this office for their immigration problems…..No regrets!!!!

I've had a decade experience with Mr. Shusterman's law firm. I used them for my immigration needs from H1 to citizenship. It is safe to say this is one of the most competent, professional and knowledgeable law firms. If there is a firm that can handle any possible immigration case routine or otherwis...e; then this is it. A couple of my colleagues have also used Mr. Shusterman's expertise for "tough" immigration situations and have had issues resolved in their favor. This firm's expertise is worth every penny. I'm still using them for my immigration needs as of this review.
