My husband and I knew we needed a lawyer to help with our immigration process because I had a complicated situation. After contacting lawyers in our area who basically said we'd either need a waiver or flat out told us I wouldn't qualify for a green card, we started to look for someone in California and that's when we came across Maximilian Law. What originally drew us to Cedric's firm was that he is originally from Canada (like myself, so he's already super cool lol). Then, after we had the initial consultation with him over the phone we both knew that he was 'the one' we wanted to work with. Cedric was honest in making sure we knew all options and the pros/cons of each, then once we decided what we wanted to do, he was there every step of the way answering any questions or concerns we had (and boy did we have a lot!) There were some difficult hurdles to get over and Cedric helped us get through all of them. My husband and I can't thank him and Karina enough for not giving up on us. We know 100% we would not have been able to do this on our own, and can't think of any other lawyer who we'd trust to handle our applications. We're definitely going to be using them again for the GC renewal or possibility of citizenship down the road! read more

Cedric Shen and Maximilian Law were a huge help in my getting my green card. To break it down i'll explain my situation. I'm Canadian and met my now wife in New York 5 years ago. We dated long distance for four years and decided to get married when she moved back to California. After doing research and actually calling Cedric Shen we knew we had to go the fiancee visa route. We were however unsure whether to go with a lawyer or without. We decided to hire Cedric Shen because we wanted to make this process as stress free as possible. We made the right decision. Having an expert a phone call away is invaluable during this process. Cedric and his paralegal Karina would explain what we would have to do through out the process. They would tell us which documents we'd have to gather and what forms we had to sign. They would prepare all the documents and send them to the government. Their were no delays at all and whenever we did have questions the answers were extremely prompt. I know if you're planning on moving to the United States and getting a visa Cedric Shen and Maximilan Law are a great choice. read more

I cannot express how grateful I am to Cedric. Right from the beginning, when I was selecting my lawyer, I conducted extensive consultations and found that many attorneys provided varying answers to numerous questions. After educating myself by reading numerous law books to ensure I knew the correct answers to many questions I had, I discovered that many lawyers had given me incorrect information. After contacting nearly every immigration lawyer in Los Angeles, Cedric was the only one who answered all my questions correctly. He was incredibly patient, friendly, and never made me feel any pressure. I felt very comfortable sharing with him a lot of information that I couldn't even comfortably share with anyone else regarding my case. I'm extremely grateful to have met Cedric. Throughout the process of gathering documents and the few years I was waiting for the response from the USCIS, Cedric made the entire process extremely easy for me. He kept me updated every time he heard anything from the USCIS. Thank you! read more

We recently contacted Cedric online to help us with my husband's green card progress from Canada to the US. Of course, we were a little concerned doing this entire process online and over the phone never getting to actually meet Cedric. I can say that throughout the process, we never had a concern! Cedric was attentive to every step of the process and was in very close and prompt contact with us throughout the process which took a total of only 6 months. To say it was a breeze sounds flippant, but it really was! Cedric answered every question and kept us calm throughout the process, letting us know exactly what to expect from immigration at every step. I have been recommending Cedric to my friends who are also looking at obtaining their green cards from Canada. Excellent, excellent! Trust me, you will be happy to have someone with such expertise and kindness leading you through the immigration process! read more

We found ourselves planning our retirement years as we drove south from Vancouver BC towards my wife's family in California. However we never arrived... we found a lovely place to settle at modest cost in Salem OR. But we had no idea how to get a clear picture what it would take to complete the move. ...so that night from our modest hotel room we searched for advice and quickly settled on Maximilian Law because the owner listed both a Vancouver and an LA address.... raising our level of online security! From our exploratory first phone call with Cedric we felt comfortable in developing a plan for our future and never looked back! All our questions and concerns were handled in a timely clear and helpful manner. Within 8 months we had satisfied all the immigration requirements at very modest costs. Thanks for all of your attention and kindness Cedric! You have already helped our close friends so thanks again! read more

Cedric Shen and his office handled my Green Card process wonderfully! Cedric spoke to me on the phone initially at my convenience, without charge, answered all my questions and reviewed all the different options. When I was ready to proceed a few months later he guided me through the process, providing all the advice and information required to compile a complete application with no need for additional documentation and no errors. Cedric always answered my emails extremely fast and was very supportive. Start to finish my completed application to approval was just under 5 months. I can't speak highly enough of his efficiency and thoroughness and do not hesitate to recommend Cedric and his team. Worth every penny to know my application was being handled by such a professional! Thank you Cedric Shen and team! read more

I can absolutely recommend Cedric Shen for immigration legal services. When I started the TN status process, I had no idea how to proceed, nor did my employer. With Cedric's guidance and legal advise, I successfully completed the TN process and am on my way. He was easy to access when needed, quick to respond to emails if necessary, and was available for questions and concerns as they arose. I felt confident throughout the process that with his guidance, I had the best possible chance of a successful application. I really appreciated that he took the time to prep me through the process from beginning to end. I couldn't be happier with my outcome or with the service I received. I would 100% use his services again if I needed to. read more

Cedric was referred to me by a friend who had an exceptional experience with him. From the first phone conversation, i knew i was in good hands. Cedric dealt directly with my employer for the wording of my letter of employment. This is a crucial step and requires a lawyer that understands the labor laws of the state in question. He also prepared my file with all the required documents, and prepared me for any potential interviews at the border. Needless to say it took me 15 minutes to get my TN visa at the border. Throughout the process Cedric returned my calls/emails promptly, which was reassuring in this stressful process. My only advice is don't attempt to do this alone. Get the best out there. Get Cedric! read more

With Cedric's invaluable assistance, I recently (successfully) completed the TN visa application process! Prior to engaging the services of Maximilian Law, I spoke with four other immigration lawyers and none seemed to possess the same balance of competency, direct accessibility, experience, and practical wisdom that Cedric exhibited. From our initial consultation, to the various templates he sent me, to his wise document editing / suggestions, to the awesome personal coaching session to help me prepare for the interview--everything was done with excellence and in my best interest. He even answered emails on the weekend prior to my POE interview. I wholeheartedly and unreservedly endorse Cedric and Maximilian Law! read more

Being on the east coast, My wife and I were a little worried about working with someone we had never met in person. We took the chance and contacted Cedric, and I'm definitely glad we did! Being a Canadian citizen seeking immigration to the US to be with my wife, Cedric helped me throughout the process from start to finish and was always up-to-date with any changes in laws, forms, or requirements. In fact, Cedric may have very well saved us from returning for a second greencard interview by informing us of changes to one of the required forms! In the end, I received the best Christmas present I could have asked for: My greencard came just two days before Christmas! Thanks Cedric! read more

Fantastic immigration law firm! I can't recommend it highly enough! Cedric was an amazing guide through the process of applying for, and obtaining a green card. He is detail-oriented, clear in his communications, prompt and patient in his responses, and extremely knowledgeable. We found his confidence and information to be comforting. All of the information he requested for the application meant there were no follow-up questions from the feds. The preparation he gave us for the interview meant we had everything the interviewer asked for. The interviewer actually said we were the most organized, easiest interview he has had. Thanks Cedric & Team! read more

I recently began working with Cedric and I cannot recommend him highly enough. I had a very complex immigration case. From the first interaction with Cedric I was immediately put at ease.

Cedric helped me apply for a TN Visa, he was incredible throughout the entire process. It was my first time applying for a work visa, and I had several friends who were rejected previously due to changes in USCIS policy, so I was initially very worried about the application. Cedric helped me navigate the new policies and he did an amazing job on preparing the application in a very short time period. He was always available to answer my questions when I had concerns. I successfully received the visa, and I would highly recommend Cedric for any immigration applications! read more

He was always available over the phone to answer our questions and prompt to reply through email. Great communication and made what would have been a very complicated process on our own simplified and easier to understand. We were able to get my green card in 2.5 months. Would highly recommend Maximilian Law! read more
