The Best Immigration Attorney One Can Have

It's been a long journey from entering this wonderful country to getting done with the immigration paperwork and becoming a citizen. The journey that can only be understood by a fellow immigrant who is going through all its trials and tribulations. And this journey has been easier due to hard, honest... and always helpful and proactive approach that Carl and his Immigration office took. Whether you talk to a receptionist, paralegal or an attorney, you always get exceptional service and heartfelt help. Carl and his fellow attorneys have always delivered on their promises. Attorney Ellen Lee was with me for my immigration interview. Calm, funny, supportive, professional - she made the experience a memorable and easy one. As a client, I felt taken care of. Amazing attorneys, amazing team. I would refer anyone to this office without a doubt (and I always do when I am asked). They have knowledge and experience that is far beyond what is available out there. Carl Shusterman and his team are worth every penny.

Knowledgeable, honest and has great hardworking staff

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.

Immigration

Hello, my name is Akop Medvedev. Earlier this year I recieved the letter regarding my wife that she got denial on recieving a permanent green card. Later on we found out that we never recieved a form from immigration offices to fill out so immigration service simply denied my wife's case. We hired ...Mr. Shusterman. I'm very skeptical when it comes To hiring or dealing with lawyers. But I had the BEST experience ever! From our first meeting Mr. Shusterman waisted no time on getting all the information, he assigned me to one of his lawyers in his firm: attorney Hellen Lee. Within 2 month, we provided all the information that we were asked to provide. And a week ago we have recieved a notice that we got the green card! We won!!! Great people work at Shusterman Law firm! I highly recommend them to everyone who has any problems with immigration!!!! You won't be dissappointed. they take care of you like you are a part of a family! I hope it help those who has doubts about hiring a lawyer! Shusterman Law Offices is the best and guaranteed place to go!

God sent

When I was at the point of giving up my life in this so called "land of milk and honey", the law office came to the rescue. My initial interview with Atty. Shusterman was very unforgetable. He did not give me false hopes. He is so honest and straight forward. Atty. Ellen Lee who stood by my side ...during my final interview was very helpful, honest, and understand the client needs and she knows her craft. Ana, and the rest of the staff I dealt with were all very kind and helpful as well.

Should have used his firm from the beginning for my green card application

I had used another law firm to start my green card application and basically was in a holding pattern for what seemed like forever. I had to go through the labor certification process which, being from CA, put me in a long line while waiting. Communication with that law firm was minimal and they ju...st kept putting me off or brushing off my concerns about what seemed like an excessive amount of time waiting. They just didn't seem to be on top of anything. Lo and behold, that law firm closed down. I was in an absolute panic wondering what was going to happen to my application...would I have to start all over again, it was already 4.5-5 years into the process, where was my paperwork even if I could find another lawyer? I saw an ad for Carl Shusterman in the yellow pages and I called his office. I was able to schedule a consultation very quickly and Carl, personally, talked to me about his experience as an immigration lawyer, what he could do to help me out and what the next steps would be. Honestly, I was a little concerned because I had just been burned. But he spoke with such reassurance and confidence that he put me at ease. I felt comfortable that he could help me out. And boy, did he! Within 2 years of hiring him, I had the green card in my hand. During that time, his firm kept me well-informed of the process, handled my paperwork in a timely fashion and responded quickly to any questions or concerns that I had. He and his firm seemed to know exactly what to do with the most up-to-date information to move my case along in the labor certification process, the biometrics and ultimately the finalization of my green card application. I know that I could still contact them if I had any other questions. I have to say that if I hadn't hired his firm, I'd probably still be waiting almost 3 years later (got the green card in Sept 2007) and would not have been able to work and travel the country as I have in that time. I would highly recommend his firm.
