We hired Mr. Shusterman after reading the reviews on AVVO around 8 years ago and hired him. However we've never met him in person and we were always pushed to work with another attorney in the office. We've worked with several and never with Mr. Shusterman who we came to the office for. Obviously we ...wanted Mr. Shusterman. Then 2 years ago, Mr. Shusterman sold his business and we weren't notified. Thank God we happened to call to find out about my father's case status. It took me a couple days to hunt down the information. Finally got to speak with Mr. Shusterman over the phone. He was great. He initially wanted to push me to work with another attorney in the business that he sold to, I said I never hired them also the appeal brief at the time was due within days. I didn't want to hire a new attorney that I didn't even choose. My father is too important to us to just work with a random attorney last minute. We need to vet it. I asked for a refund. Mr. Shusterman agreed but later called me back said he'd work on the case himself. Obviously I was happy to hear that. Now 2 years later, he emailed me saying my husband's case was denied and attorney Jennifer doesn't believe we should continue to appeal. My husband? Obviously he doesn't remember about the case and he didn't work on the case himself. Jennifer was one of the attorneys we were forced on. It was fine in the beginning because I thought Mr. Shusterman if he cared about his reputation, he would make sure the quality of her service. Anyways, she's been rejecting to help us and apparently she's been forced to work on the last brief. Since she feels this way about the case, we for sure can't use her again. Just sad that we are again in the situation of having to find a new attorney in a short period of time and have to re-explain the case. So do yourself a favor. Try another office, you may have a better luck.

The law offices of Carl Shusterman helped me with the hardest obstacle of my life. According to every other law office in LA and San Diego, my case was lost and there was no other way to help me. However, Giselle Sotelo's team found a way to solve my case in a couple of months avoiding any further is...sues. I also would like to thank Ana Cruz from Giselle's team. My family and I are extremely thankful for their hard work and dedication.

Maria Cobian Alvarado has been with me since the beginning. She has always been there whenever I needed any clarifications on my case and has always been very supportive all throughout. Her services have been more than exceptional and I truly value and appreciate all the help and guidance she and her... office has given me. All I can say is, Thank You from the bottom of my heart Maria. Continue to do what you do and how you do it. Your firm and your clients are very lucky to have you! =)
