I went to Mr. Shusterman for adjustment of status for my wife who overstayed her visa waiver for about 4 years and she came here after we were married. I searched the internet and found similar cases like us which has been denied I even consulted a lawyer before Mr. Shusterman who was so pessimist...ic and said your case is being denied in most USCIS offices now. I decided to go to Mr. Shusterman law firm and after he heard our story he said it’s simple case marriage, I was shocked how calm he was about our case and the confidence he had but I trusted him right away. He gives you attention and listen to you, he and all the staff in the office answer any questions you have either on the phone or in person, I dealt with different lawyers and they treat you like they hired you not that you hired them, In Mr. Carl office it’s totally different you feel warm, friendly and comfortable, usually me and my wife when we make a decision she tells me let think about it first and then decide what we are going to do, when she talked to Mr. Shusterman to represent us she didn’t think twice and was very confident about him and his firm Elsa Garcia the firm paralegal is very friendly, professional and you deal with her most of the time, she is very prompt in answering e-mail or calling you back when you leave a message. And then comes attorney Lee nice, humble and very professional with tons of immigration experience and when the time come to defend you or represent you she is like law monster that nobody can stand infront of her, beside my wife hard case few month before the interview I became unemployed and I was so afraid because I didn’t have another income sponsor, she calmed me down and assured me not to worry about it. Sure enough our case was approved like a piece of cake with the help of those amazing people. Amazing firm, wonderful staff and most important they know what they are doing, those words are not enough to express our feelings, thanks a lot me and my family will not forget what you did for us.

I cannot say enough good things about this law firm. It started with my initial consultation with Carl Shusterman. From the get go, I clearly understood the requirements, process, timing and the fee structure for handling our case.Then Ms. Elsa Garcia took over; she collected all of our information, ...organized them and filed the required forms. She is very professional and helpful. She also answered questions posed by my elderly parents and made them feel comfortable. We then met Ms. Ellen Lee as our case progressed. She is very very impressive. Her experience and knowledge is simply amazing. She saw our case through to a successful conclusion. The entire team working at this firm are simply "great".

I retained attorney Mr. Shusterman to handle my citizenship application and it resulted to me being officially sworn in as an American citizen in just a short 5 months from the time my Naturalization Application was filed. I am really grateful to Mr. Shusterman for successfully handling my citizenshi...p application. Retaining Mr. Shusterman to handle my citizenship application was the best decision I had ever made. Mr. Shusterman is truly a leader in immigration field. He is extremely knowledgeable in immigration law and very professional and thorough in completing all required steps. He was also very accessible and he responded to all of my email and phone called promptly. He and his staffs have exceeded my expectations in every way. I really appreciate for the great confidence he gave me and his continued support throughout the whole process. He is truly an amazing and an outstanding immigration attorney any one would envy to have. Aside from being an outstanding immigration attorney, he is very compassionate, caring and understanding individual. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of resolving immigration issues without reservation or hesitation. Mr. Shusterman you are the best!! Please keep up your good work!

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.
