Gerald Shapiro

Since the end of 2010 my family was going through very tough times because of my husband's immigration status. Both I and my husband are Armenians from Armenia. We have 2 kids, who were born here in LA. Even though I and our two sons were US citizens at that time, the authorities deported my husba...nd back to Armenia, after keeping him in Immigration Jail for almost 4 weeks. While my husband was in immigration jail, I met with 8-10 lawyers of different nationalities., including Armenians. The one I hired before Mr. Shapiro (while my husband was still in jail), failed. My husband was sent back to our country of origin. I heard about Mr. Shapiro's great work from a friend of mine. At that time I had already met with about 15 lawyers, and couldn't decide who to hire. As soon as I met Mr. Shapiro and had my first consultation with him, I understood that he was the type of attorney I was looking for. Mr Shapiro took over my husband's case in February of 2012. He filed deportation waivers for my husband ( I-601 and I-212). Every person who has such issues most probably knows how difficult it is to get waivers approved after deportation, and how long it can take( in average 4-6 months). Mr. Shapiro prepared such a strong case that our waivers were approved within 2 weeks, after submitting them. I will definitely recommend Mr Jerry Shapiro to anyone who is going through immigration issues. What I like about Mr. Shapiro most is that he is very responsive, very honest and knowledgeable. He was always there to answer any question I had. He even answered my phone calls on Sundays. Mr. Shapiro is very detail oriented. Whatever he writes in his legal briefs and cases is proved by strong supportive documents. I hope we will never go through anything like this, but if we ever do, I will without hesitation go directly to Mr. Jerry Shapiro ( even though there are so many Armenian attorneys out there). One more thing I forgot to mention is that he not only files documents and waits until he gets a response back, but also follows up with officials to get status of whatever he does. I had never heard someone enter the US with an immigrant visa after being deported back to Armenia.( May be from other countries but not Armenia) Great job Mr. Shapiro!!! Thank you very much for everything you did for my family. Thank you

Jerry has been a great lawyer; our case was very complicated involved deportation to Armenia. We consulted with Mr. Shapiro he reviewed the case very carefully and said we have a great shot @ winning this case. He is wonderful person to work and would reply immediately to messages anytime of the day.... It was hard fought battle but in the end he won the case for us. He made numerous visits and prepped everyone in the case to answer all questions. Our family had a piece of mind with this case and felt confident that in the end the verdict would be in our favor. I hope we never have to go through this again in the future, but if we did Mr. Shapiro is who we would turn to. It's almost like talking to a friend when you speak to Mr. Shapiro. We thank Mr. Shapiro again for his services.

Jerry carried the immigration case for my wife flawlessly. He had easy to follow requests and turned around the paper work to the respective agencies immediately. He was hones with his expectations of the case and resolved the matter in a much shorter time than we expected. He was extremely access...ible during the course of the case. Jerry was referred to us by a family friend whose case had been declined by other lawyers as they did not believe it could be solved in a favorable manner. Jerry solved it and that's why we contact him to handle our case.

Hi all, My name is Ajmal and i'm from Afghanistan, when i came to US i couldn't go back because of the conflict which is currently going on back there, My cousin took me to Mr. Shapiro's office and he filed my case applying for asylum, you won't believe i got approved just in 2 months. Mr. Shap...iro been always there to answer my questions and concerns and we went for my interview together, so long story short i'm really glad i hired Mr. Shapiro for my immigration problems back then and i will highly recommend him for those who is looking for an intelligent and smart attorney. P.S. I forgot to mention an important fact that since i couldn't pay the fee in total, Mr. Shapiro gave me a monthly payments plan which was very helpful for me because i didn't have a job back then to pay the total amount, that was really kind of him. Sincerely
