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.

We've been to 4 other attorneys before we came to see Atty Jerry. I wanted to make sure that I will be getting the best service possible. From the moment we stepped into his office and had the consultation, we knew right on that we have found the right person to handle my father's case. His actio...n plan is by far the most direct, simple and most beneficial to us. We had no second thoughts and we entrusted him the case that day. The case wasn't easy and the documents we have are complicated. We got a denial letter from USCIS for my father's I-130 application and we only had 5 days left to submit an appeal for the denial. In addition, the denial letter also mentioned the possible deportation of my mother to the Philippines if we failed to prove her status in the US. He worked over the weekend to draft the brief and submitted it right on time. He never promised us that it will be approved but he assured us that he will do his best. He is always available to answer all our questions in a timely manner. Also he is clear and he knows the system very well. In just about a month, I got a call from him letting me know that the case has been approved. It was sooner than what we expected but we were very thankful nonetheless. It was like a breathe of fresh air. We are grateful and fully satisfied with the service we got. We wouldn't have any second thoughts of having Atty Jerry handle any case if we will ever need it in the future.

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.
