Best immigration lawyer!!

Worst thing that ever happened to me is to be placed under removal proceedings. Went to different lawyers to seek for advice and only one stands out for me. Came across Atty. Shusterman at avvo.com. Given his expertise in immigration law and the reviews I've read online made me decide to choose their... firm. Atty. Shusterman was very accommodating and very knowledgeable. Just by looking at my papers he is confident that my case will be dismissed. Atty. Elif Keles was the one who handled my case. She represented me in court. She is very professional and knowledgeable too. What I like about her is that she always update me with the status of my case. She answered all my questions and responds right away whenever I email her. So my case finally got dismissed last year and I got my green card May 2014. For those who have immigration problems I highly recommend the Law Offices of Carl Shusterman. Great staff and service…Thank you very much Attorney!!!

Knowledgable, Caring , Great Results

My employer hired the law offices of Carl Shusterman for my work visa and permanent residency. My case was complicated and the process took several years. They helped me with my H-1, Labor Cert, VD, and consular process. I was in communication with Judy Lu, Raj Iyer and Ellen Lee. Th...eir work was consistently excellent. They were clear about every detail: documents needed, timeframe, opportune times to submit the material, etc. They timely answered any question I had and were successful obtaining results for me and my family. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants a firm that is knowledgable, caring and with a proved success record.

Peer Review

As a lawyer myself, I was very careful about selecting a law firm to handle my own immigration case. This was especially true after my husband and I had painfully waited more than 15 years to file a spouse-sponsored petition for a green card. The ability for us to file this type of petition was onl...y made possible in late June 2013 when the U.S. Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling to recognize equal rights and benefits under federal laws for married same-sex couples. Our case was not only deeply personal, but needed the experience and expertise of an immigration law firm that was up to date with the rapidly changing legal landscape for same-sex couples. Mr. Shusterman’s firm has definitely lived up to its stellar reputation and delivered great results in our case. Overall, the firm is well run and works seamlessly as a team. Throughout the firm’s representation, our case was handled with diligence, care, and professionalism at every level. The initial consultation was easily scheduled with friendly support staff. The firm maintained timely communications with us every step of the way. Our paralegal, Maria, assisted us with multiple government forms and expeditiously filed the petition at our request. As a result, USCIS accepted and processed our petition promptly without any request for evidence. Last, but certainly not least, we want to say a special “thank you” to our attorney Ellen Ma Lee. Ellen is a seasoned counsel with expertise in family immigration. Ellen is not only knowledgeable about the law, but has a deep understanding of those human, but sometimes complex aspects of a marriage, which could become the focal point of a green card interview. Drawing from her experience of having appeared at numerous green card interviews, Ellen carefully analyzed the strength and weakness of our case and thoroughly prepared us for our interview. She astutely focused on the likely questions from the immigration officer in light of the ups and downs of my 15-year relationship with my husband. Ellen answered every question we had, and offered suggestions which turned out to be extremely helpful to our case submission. Perhaps most importantly, with her unparalleled expertise, Ellen guided us through the entire process, making us feel confident and at ease with the often intimating green card interview. When I finally received my green card that my husband and I had waited for so long, I kept thinking to myself: if all law firms were as great as Mr. Shusterman’s, lawyers would surely be amongst the most beloved professions in America.
