It was a real pleasure to work with Matt and his team. We received a very thorough initial consultation, Matt answered all our questions, addressed all our concerns. During the citizenship application process, we received all the support we needed. In difficult situations, we contacted Matt many times and received his support and recommendations for the best course of action. We did not have any problems in our communication - Matt is a highly professional, caring, responsive and reliable attorney. He would immediately respond to our e-mails and return our phone calls. His team notified us regarding all steps of the process - appointments, interview etc., so we felt very well taken care of and had peace of mind. I highly recommend Matt, he is a great immigration case attorney.

Matt handled a rather complex citizenship application for my Canadian husband, and we are so pleased with his work. Very reasonable fees, always quick to respond/answer questions, and we really felt like he prioritized any action items needed for the case (getting responses to requests for information handled promptly, not waiting until the deadline). He was very good about checking in with us regularly regarding the status of the case and also giving us insight on how our case was going compared to other recent cases he handled, which was helpful and reassuring in this political climate where changes to immigration law and policy seem to be in the headlines daily!

Matt and his team made this challenging immigration process stress and worry FREE. when we first walk into their office they relax and install confidence in us then listen to our story . Matt has answered all my questions, in the process Matt and the team allocate lot of time and proved that it is their responsibility that every thing goes fine with us. our interview day Matt was there before us we really appreciate that. we knew that Matt 's wife is going on surgery while he is with us. that proved Matt is very well committed to us and what ever he is doing. we have everything we wanted. recommending Shaftel Law will be an understatement we promised ourselves to tell all friends and relative about Matt and his team, and will recommend to anyone who need their price less services. thank you from Sarja and Abie from Gambia west Africa.

I hired Matt and his staff to assist me in the my husband's immigration case as had entered the US illegally. Matt was able to answer all my questions and concerns on our consultation visit and after we hire him to take our case. Matt was very knowledgeable, honest and passionate to assist us. I appreciate the fact that Matt put a lot of work and time to resolve my husband case within a year and half. I could not be more excited than having to see my husband walk into the states as a legal resident. Thank you Matt and your staff for your assistance. I would truly recommend Shaftel law for any immigration process.

Matthew is a very knowledgeable and thoughtful attorney. My case was pretty complicated from the beginning. I talked with several lawyers and no one was willing to take the case. Matthew did.Thanks to Matthew's professionalism: meticulous work and profound knowledge of immigration law, case was successful and we reached our ultimate goal. Many thanks to Shaftel Law.

I came to the United States, entered "legally" with a passport when I was six years old, and just this year I was able to obtain my permanent residence, I am now 33years old! Have had lawyer after lawyer, and it seemed as if I was wasting my hard-earned dollars with them! After over Ten Grand from one lawyer, almost another five thousand $ with another. I began to look for different options. I have a clean record so I thought, "how hard could it be to do it on my own?" ...to my surprise it was very hard! I was fortunate enough to have found Matt, by just doing my research. I chose Matt because he was very friendly over the phone, very helpful right off the bat. I could not be more happy to have chosen Matt to represent me. My case wasn't so difficult, so I didn't understand why other lawyers could not help me.With less than one year Matt helped me receive a work permit then my green card :) Something that my parents and I had worked so hard to get for many many years. Matt is a very knowledgeable lawyer, very humble individual. He takes the time to fully explain every situation and scenario, to help his clients understand each and every process.He did not come off as being just about the money, he does what he does because he loves to help individuals, and is about doing the right" thing. My family and I are very grateful for all of Matt's help. With Trump being in office now, we were terrified of being separated. Me having to go to a country I've hardly lived in, and worse being away from my kids. Now we can continue our lives more at ease. i would recommend Matt to anyone going through any immigration issues. He is by far one of the best immigration lawyers I have came across! ( & there have been plenty) ;) Thank you Matt :)

Matt provided me with some insightful, practical legal advice on some tricky H1-B issues that came up at my company. After working with him it quickly became clear that he has deep knowledge and experience on immigration issues and I would not hesitate to recommend him to others or to engage him again the next time I need some immigration law advice.

I have retained Mr. Shaftel as an expert witness for immigration issues. He is extremely knowledgable and helpful, and also has a background in several other areas of law, including criminal law at the state and federal level. He was completely up-to-date on the latest immigration developments and committed to the work that he does. Specifically, he worked on two separate cases for me-- one involving the legality of a prior deportation and another involving a very complex H-2B business visa interpretation and implementation issue. In those cases, he was certified as an immigration expert and specialist and drafted a lengthy memorandum for the judge (on the H-2B case) and his analysis was incorporated into a criminal defense motion in federal court. I wouldn't hesitate to retain him again, and recommend him as the best immigration attorney in the Denver/Colorado area. His dedication to the quality of his work is unprecedented and his writing and advocacy credentials are superb.

Matt and his Shaftel Law Firm did an excellent job on my case. From filling my DACA forms to helping me get my permanent residency. Matt and his staff are very knowledgeable about the immigration laws and are with you ever step of the way. They are very professional and take pride in what they do. Very helpful and are there to answer any questions you may have through out the whole process. They are very efficient and work very hard to get the results your looking for. I am very thankful for Matt and his law firm team and would definitely recommend Shaftel Law firm for all immigration needs. If your looking for an honest, hard working, knowledgeable, and experienced lawyer call Matt and his team you won't regret it!

Matthew Shaftel was hired by my company to file my employment based green card. With his efficient and accurate work my application was approved successfully. As with the green card process there were some unique obstacles specific to my case which Matthew handled effectively and resolved them in a timely manner. What I liked most about him was his due diligence in responding to my queries and concerns right away, and getting things done as quickly as possible in an accurate way. Matthew navigated me through the complex process of green card application process and helped me move from a temporary work visa status to becoming a permanent resident.

Mr. Shaftel answered all my questions. He doesn't sugar coat things and let's you know how things may or may not turn out. I appreciate that every time I called his office he made himself readily available. He is very professional and fair with his pricing. He met all deadlines and I became a naturalized citizen within four months of me hiring him. I would definitely recommend him and use him again. I also want to add that his assistant Norma is also professional and great at her job.
