David M Sturman

David Sturman office is my hero! They are proffesional and took care of my immigration from start to finish. Sturman even came with us during my green card interview, which I hadn’t expected. Laurel is my angel, making sure that all documents are filled up properly, correct and complete! Now, I got my permanent residence through the help of this office! Thank you so much guys!

David Sturman represented me in a hearing early this year on a difficult case that was causing me great concern and aggravation. I was concerned that my chances of success were not looking good but throughout the preparation and ultimate hearing, David stood by me the entire way instilling confidence and optimism. He kept in contact with me and promptly answered my calls which to me, is a quality that few attorneys possess. It is the personal touch that won me over. He never neglected my case and made me feel that my case was as important to him as it was to me. (Another refreshing quality.) Despite what another review wrote, I found him to be very organized and professional. He has in my opinion tremendous knowledge of law and an unwavering tenacity that really became apparent once he appeared in front of the judge. I was surprised when he firmly stood his ground when questioned by the judge about his position and he did not stop arguing until he reached the result we sought. (Bravo.)
I think his many years of experience really became apparent in my case and I was happy with his service. Speaking with him after my case, I learned that he is a very conscientious attorney who is willing to actually fight for his clients. Nice job David! I would recommend him to anyone who wants a hard-​working, honest, (that’s a rare one,) immigration attorney.

This guy knows it! Don’t even look for anyone else. I am glad Mr. Sturman understands how complicated life can be sometimes.

I was very impressed with Mr. Sturman. I saw the other review saying his office and staff were disorganized and if that was true maybe he changed since then as this was not my experience. I would highly recommend him as a immigration attorney.

I’ve upgraded my Rating to 5 Stars because David is probably one of the BEST Immigration lawyers in Los Angeles — Despite being pretty disorganized as an OFFICE (this was back in 2010) overall THE ATTORNEY is the one who will win your case or not and David is your guy and has an outstanding record for winning his cases!
He helped me GET OUT OF «Removal proceedings» (which I ended up in solely because of using a lawyer who, unbeknownst to me, was suspended since 1994 WTHeck) and THEN he helped me to get my Greencard and for that I am eternally grateful!
PRO’s — GREAT Lawyer and the Courthouse people have known him for YEARS and trust his judgement in the cases he selects to represent so you have a BETTER chance of getting a Greencard, if you choose David Sturman.
David also made himself available and was very responsive to emails. After he finished with my case if I emailed him other questions about other friend’s cases or just general questions he ALWAYS got back to me!
Cons: Office generally disorganized (as in: while we were having a meeting about my case other staff were coming in and interrupting our meeting because they couldn’t find a client’s file and that happened a few times during the same meeting — considering I was in removal proceedings and already feeling stressed out) but honestly on the scale of things its NOT a big deal which is why I am editing this. I STILL always refer people to David without hesitation!
Also you need to double check the contract (with explanation of your case) both for the Names/​Parties being represented within the contract AND EXACTLY how and how much you will be billed for. I’d recommend this for any attorney you choose to hire.
Also their invoicing system does NOT make sense at all (this was back in 2010). Hopefully they would have changed that by now BUT if you aren’t sure… ASK and check that your payments get allocated correctly and that they don’t charge you more than they said they would for stuff like InfoPass appointments on your behalf.
I am a Citizen now (that part I did on my own) and I am VERY, very very grateful for David Sturman’s help on the journey. He will always be the first and ONLY attorney that I will refer people too. Good luck on your journey too! G
