Gerald Shapiro

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.

Mr Jerry Shapiro. was extremely kind, dedicated and professional attorney. We had a very complicated immigration situation but he was able to effectively maneuver the legal process for us and obtain a successful outcome. He also has great communication skills and was able to describe the process for ...us in a way that we would understand. And was available for us anytime that we had question. Overall a great lawyer that we would highly recommend.

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.

My daughter got into a minor traffic accident. Both cars were able to drive - so wasn't a big deal. Called insurance, had a police report - the trivial stuff that most of us (or most of our teenage kids) had gone through. Insurance paid for both our and the other party repairs; so we thought that was... it. Then suddenly three months later DA opened a case for "hit-and-run". We were completely flabbergasted. Fortunately, rather than doing something rash, we hired Gerald Shapiro. We knew that his main focus is immigration law, but our friend highly recommended him; and we trusted friend's judgment. Well, we didn't regret. Mr. Shapiro navigated through the maze of very complicated legal issues and got our case dismissed. He knew exactly how to deliver desired outcome. He was completely truthful and genuine about possibility of few setbacks from the beginning, but tried to explore alternative legal ways to reach favorable result. Throughout this whole process M. Shapiro was very polite, attentive but most important a real professional, an attorney with vast knowledge of our case and laws. We are extremely fortunate to have Mr. Shapiro on our side and readily will recommend his service to any of our friends.

I came to United States from Russia and I am a practicing Physician in this country. As I was an Armenian and a citizen of Russia, I had different and difficult immigration obstacles to overcome. Mr. Shapiro helped me with them. Now, I am a citizen of United States because of Mr. Shapiro's in...credible and magic work! Not only he is smart and can find a way of resolution for a very hard and unusual issues, he is also a very honest attorney. He will never charge you more if he doesn't have to. I have never met a such an honest lawyer like Mr Shapiro. I strongly recommend everyone to Mr. Shapiro.
