Client Reviews
Great Work!
“Cheryl is a genius! If not for her I sincerely don't believe I would have a green card right now. I had a challenging case (work visa based) that took years, but with her knowledge of the law and experience she used everything in her power to make it work. In addition to her expert knowledge of the law she is also an absolute pleasure to work with (if you've worked with other attorneys you know that is often not the case).”
- Renee L., Santa Monica, California

Ms. Gertler volunteered together with Carl Shusterman in assisting women and children incarcerated in by our government in Dilley, Texas after fleeing from violence in Central America.
