The Best Law Firm

Atty. Shusterman was referred to us by our friend because we have tried other attorneys in the past that did not do what they were supposed to do. On our first consultation everything was explained regarding my case three years ago. With the complexity of the case I felt confidence in him that he c...ould help me with it. We have heard many endorsements from family and friends regarding stories of success from other cases. With his staff that handled the case help me enormously get through my situation. Starting with the paralegal Judy Lu made great follow ups and communicated with me and was quick to answer all my questions. Also Atty. Ellen Lee made it easy for me by giving me support during my interview. Overall I have never experienced a law firm that followed with my case like Atty. Carl Shusterman. They are professional and cares a lot about their clients. I finally received my approval in the mail before thanksgiving and will be receiving my green card in a few weeks. I would like to thank Atty. Shusterman, Atty Ellen Lee, and paralegal Judy Lu for doing such an excellent Job. I highly recommend this law firm to anyone seeking immigration assistance.

Ms Elahe Najfabadi the best lawyer I've met

It gives me utmost honor and joy side by side to write down few lines in regards of my extraordinarily competent immigration lawyer Ms Elahe Najfabadi. Even from the very first day when I talked to her regarding my H1B visa status and then later its conversion to Green Card, I felt an unbelievable an...d substantial level of trust formation towards her. It took me no time to have a firm belief that she's an expert of her field and I'm in safe hands. From there onwards, it was an array of good news one after the other. She has been extremely prompt, available, coordinated and systematic in her approach. She has always been very receptive to my concerns and has been able to come up with the most appropriate solutions. I must not forget to mention Ms Ann Powell, Ms Najfabadi's assistant, equally up to the mark in her field. Both of them made my case expedited in such fashion that I got my Green Card approval far earlier than my expectations. I would highly recommend Ms Najfabadi for all sort of Immigration services without a slightest fragment of doubt in my mind.

For best results, hire the best.

At the time I hired Carl Shusterman in 2006 to assist me with my application for US citizenship, I had been a Legal Permanent Resident (LPR). The most important issue that blocked my path to citizenship was the fact that I had lived a long, long long time out of the United Stated after becoming an LP...R in 1971. Acting on Mr. Shusterman's sage advice, I was able to collect documents that suggested I had intended to maintain family, social, and financial ties to the United States. Accompanied by one of Mr. Shusterman's staff immigration attorneys, I sailed through my citizenship interview and passed the citizenship test without difficulty. Many months later, the real value of the service Mr. Shusterman provides was highlighted when the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) had still refused to decide whether to grant my naturalization. USCIS hadn't decided on my case because the FBI had not completed its background check, notwithstanding the fact that USCIS is required by law to grant or deny citizenship applications within 120 days after completing the naturalization interview. With only weeks left left before my fingerprints for the FBI background check were to expire, (meaning that I would have to go to the back of the background-check line and wait all over again), Mr. Shusterman's crack litigation attorney, Amy Prokop came to the rescue. On my behalf, Ms. Prokop filed a petition for mandamus relief with US federal district court asking the court to order USCIS to make a decision on my citizenship application. The suit spurred the USCIS mandarins to make their decision. Thanks to Mr. Shusterman and Ms. Prokop, I was sworn in to become a proud US citizen. I highly recommend Mr. Shusterman for anyone needing a trustworthy and knowledgeable immigration attorney.

Sets the standard for all other immigration lawyers

Mr Shusterman, Atty Lee, Atty Raj Iyer, and Paralegal Elsa Garcia made everything so simple from the very beginning. After meeting Mr Shusterman for the first time, I knew exactly why he has such positive reviews from his other clients. Atty Lee thoroughly prepared me for my Adjustment of Status In...terview and I was grateful to have Atty Raj Iyer attend the interview with my father and I. Paralegal Elsa Garcia took care of all the confusing forms for me and kept me informed every step of the way. I highly recommend the Law Offices of Carl Shusterman to anyone needing immigration assistance. From simple cases to difficult ones, this firm will make the immigration process more bearable and will provide you your best chance of a positive outcome.
