Gerald Shapiro

We where recommended to Gerald Shapiro by my uncle because he helped his wife to get a green card, and he told us he was a great lawyer. Before we had our consultation with him, we went to another lawyer and they where expensive and untrustworthy. I made another appointment with Shapiro and I talke...d to him about my case. Mr. Shapiro said it would not be difficult. He was pleasant and always enjoyable. I recommend him because he solved my case and everything was done within the time he said it would. If I ever had a doubt I would email him and he would immediately reply. My husband and I are really pleased and greatful for all the work. My husband and I don't speak English perfectly and Mrs. Shapiro helped us with all he can.

I have heard him from one of my friends, me and my wife (she is a US citizen) went to meet him and he was so humble, easy and helpful. He gives you good feeling, just always be honest to him so he can make it work your legal situation. I,ve got my greencard in so short period of a time, he attended ...to my interview with me. We are so thankful to him! You can trust him.

Several of years ago I met a few immigration lawyers and I wanted to make my American dream come true and nobody wants this more than I do and I first visited USA at 13 years ago 17 years ago and I always spent my summers in California and I told my Grandparents on my first day in USA on August 4th 1...999 at 3pm when I just landed and I will be moving here. I have a big US family in LA and one of them is a lawyer and he recommended Jerry Shapiro and said he is very trustworthy. I remember meeting him my first time and stated I should get a student visa and become a student and luckily i had an amazing opportunity to go to CSUN and get my 2nd BA and find the right visa. One day I brought a new car and decided to be impulsive and drive to Florida from LA and invited women of my dreams to take a road trip back to California. We talked on FB for a few years and we have many adventures on our road trip and fell in love and got married 9 months later. I contacted Jerry and we were living in San Diego and I didn't want any lawyer because I knew he is very genuine and a good family man with 5 children and Grandkids His price was very reasonable and put up with anxiety and he always texted me and emailed me back and forth promptly. My wife and I moved to Redding Northern California and he only charged me for flights to fly to Sacramento to be there for our Green card interview. The interview went fantastic. We brought a big laundry basket with full of pictures and documents and we were over prepared and the immigration officer made a joke about our basket. It was a very pleasant interview and my wife was upset because she wanted to stay longer to show more pictures to the immigration officer pictures and my Green Card got approved. Yesterday I had serious insurance issues because my insurance got cancel because I needed to prove I was legal and while I was in the insurance building Jerry messaged me that my Green card have arrived and currently in OC and texted him if I can drive up to his building to pick it up and he sent me a text that he can meet me in Starbucks 20 minutes from my location and he saved me 5 hours journey and LA traffic. Very genuine and honest. He is very smart and knows his stuff. I am a very intrusive person and it takes a lot to earn my trust. Thank you Jerry for helping me to get my Green card and I waited 17 years for this.

As you all have found out, there is no lack of endless choices when it comes to immigration attorneys here in Los Angeles. Trying to figure out which one to trust and hire is an overwhelming challenge! Jerry Shapiro is the only man for the job! A good friend of mine recommended him, years earlier he ...had saved her from immediate deportation! Not only is Shapiro the number one worker of legal miracles, but he is a very quiet, humble and super honest gentleman. My case for Green Card was very challenging and had me super frightened. I had many concerns and I was very worried. I had been in United States years ago on student visa, which had expired long ago! You all know the story… My boyfriend and I had been living together for over five years and after California legalized same sex marriage we went ahead and got married. We met together with Jerry and explained our fears and concerns. We immediately knew we were in good hands! He made us laugh, calmed us down, told us exactly what documents were necessary to have prepared and even to have copies to give to the Agent. Even what photos to include in our photo albums!.........everything! He was always so very easy to reach and get prompt response on the phone, or get fast response using texting and email. Ended up that he handled everything beautifully including something I left out in the original documents, potentially dangerous situation..... No problem for this attorney! Jerry Shapiro is extra fair with his fees, never will nickel and dime you like most do and is completely honest and upfront, and always with a smile on his face. Mr. Shapiro attended the Green Card interview, sitting right behind us, and when the Agent saw how incredibly well our paperwork was prepared, we were good to go! I now have my Green Card with total peace of mind because this gentleman is the very best there is! Period! I STRONGLY RECOMMEND this attorney.

As with many Greencard applications, ours had a couple of complicated issues to solve. While many other lawyers tried to instill fear around that issue in order to overcharge us, Mr. Shapiro was on top of it from the beginning, explained to us exactly what we needed to do and everything went exactly ...as he said. In fact, everything happened faster than what Mr. Shapiro had anticipated. Once we had our first meeting with him and we submitted our application, we really never worried about it anymore. We applied for a marriage greencard for a Spanish citizen.
