Gerald Shapiro

Mr. Shapiro has been of excellent legal assistance in the process of building my Immigration case. He was expertly able to guide me in making the best decisions in moving forward when creating a new case. He advised that it would be more affordable and beneficial to create a new case instead of openi...ng up the previous I had filed without his assistance which had resulted in rejection by the USCIS. His advice has proven to be successful as my case was accepted in a speedy and efficient manner without any complications. Mr. Shapiro was patient, informative, and professional in dealing with the case and myself, his client. I highly recommend Mr. Shapiro due to the results and level of expertise I have been able to witness first-hand both throughout the process of building my case and when my case was accepted without any set backs. Mr. Shapiro should be taken into great consideration when searching to hire a reliable and beneficial Immigration lawyer.

I have previously worked with no lawyers on this matter but the lawyer whom take care of our business recommend us to Mr Shapiro ( how lucky someone can be) . I came to L.A in 2002 with a tourist visa and stay on the state illegal :( , and married in 2010 to my wonderful husband , and we start the ...process of my papers , three month after the process start I got on the mail my Social security # ....was a dream come true !! and then , I got my green-card and all through the care of the law firm of mister Shapiro , he also was on top of following the process of my citizen ship , letting us know dates of appointments before emigration notifications came through our door, and been present on each appointment with us . I'm so thankful I was able to see my family again in El Salvador for the past 8years ,It was an emotional reunion for my and my love ones ,thank you for all your help and professional work , we couldnt have done it without you , The money was never worth it as much as now ,Good bless you Mr Shapiro.

I immigrated from Iran to the US in 2007 base on US citizen spouse. In 2009 I applied for removal of condition from my residency (I-751) which ended to removal proceeding. I hired first attorney who was not helpful and the second application ended to proceeding as well. I was so disappointed and rec...ommended by a local agent to Mr Shapiro. I call his office and there was a very warm greeting fro secretary. I found his cell phone number through the greeting of answering machine. (He's been easy to reach and available up yo the end of case, for 2 other lawyers I had to pass secretary and leave a message on the phone and wait for response for a long time). In one hour consul I explained my situation and he figured it out quickly. He drafted his plan for me to solve the issue. I had 2 other consults with other attorneys, and made my decision that I would be comfortable with Mr Shapiro: 1. Available for client all the time without secretary barrier, even he checks all documents in front of you and sometimes he makes copy by himself rather than asking somebody else, so it makes you sure nothing would be lost 2. He listens to you carefully without any interruption and no hurry to end the consult session. 3. He responds everything legally and does research about the details based on references, and if he doubts about anything he would say "I'll research about it". 4. He has good knowledge of the scope of his practice with multiple solution for each problem. 6. And the fee for service was excellent. My case took 2.5 years to get ended because my third application was stuck in CIS while the 2nd application was being followed up in the immigration court. Mr Shapiro was so smart to find where my application exactly is and asked Judge to make CIS to have a decision on that. At interview day he patiently addressed the legal issues in my application and gave me hints after on to provide all documents might be helpful. I couldn't believe my case would be approved but Mr Shapiro was so confident about it. Finally 6 weeks after interview I received my Green Card: a case i couldn't believe to be approved at the 3rd time!!! Unbelievable. I highly recommend Mr Shapiro to anybody with immigration issue. Incredible.

Jerry Shapiro is the best lawyer that I have ever worked with. Before I work with Jerry Shapiro I worked with few other lawyer and not only I was not getting results, just dealing with those lawyers had become a nightmare for me. I recommend Jerry Shapiro for the following reasons: 1- He is resp...onsive; whenever I had a concern on my case, I was able to get in touch with him quickly, and he addressed my issues and concern patiently 2- He is very knowledgeable; I have hired him on two immigration cases, and in both cases, he handled a case that was not exactly straight forward. in both cases very quickly and easily got my case approved. I have to admit that in both cases I was disappointed with approval of my immigration case and he did magic. 3- He understood my concerns and by explaining the solution to my case, and partly by his positive attitude eased my worries. 4- He is very fair on the fees that he charges. I remember for my first case, I was quoted twice than his fees by few other lawyers that did not even understood my case. 5- I was amazed by how neatly he organized my case and send it to the immigration office. It plays a big role on how your file is prepared and how easily immigration officers can browse trough it and find their material. 6- He is very organized; when I went to him for my second case, very quickly he found evidence and material from my first file (which was done ~5years earlier) that helped with my second case. Every time that someone ask me of a great lawyer, I will with no doubt reffer he/she to Jerry Shapiro.

I had a really difficult case since I entered illigally to the USA from Mexico. Originally I am from Israel. I came here at age 12 and overstayed my visa. I have been living in the USA illigally for more then 12 years. Its very hard to live here without driver license and a work permit. I got really... lucky to get my Green Card and to have a lawyer like Jerry. When we started the case Jerry told me that since I had a very difficult case he didn't want to except the case without making sure I have a decent chance of not waisting my money and time. He kept me informed of all the different outcomes to my case. After we got some answers, we decided to start the case. Jerry always got back to me when I called him within a reasonable time. He didn't promise success since I had a really difficult case but soon enough I got approved for my Green Card. Jerry did a wonderful job. He was proffesional and very trustworthy. I know that if I took a lawyer less knowledgeable, I could have been facing deportation or a very long case. I am very happy that everything turned out the way it did. Thanks to this great lawyer I can now go to anywhere in the world and come back to the USA without a problem. I can drive legally with a current CA driver license. I no longer have to be worried about driving illigally. Jerry Shapiro did a great job and was more reasonably priced then most lawyers I was looking into for my case. Jerry Shapiro was a solid choice.
