About Edward
Edward Shulman built a courtroom life from two classrooms: Syracuse University, where he studied English literature, and Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center, where he earned his J.D. in 1988. He moved into immigration matters early in his career and steadily broadened the places where he practices law. He is admitted in multiple federal circuits and before the U.S. Supreme Court, and he maintains memberships in several state and local bar associations.
His admissions include appearances in the Federal Circuit, the 2nd and 3rd Circuits, the 4th Circuit, the District of Columbia, the U.S. Supreme Court, and state bars in New Jersey and Hawaii. That range reflects a practice that handles both trial-level immigration work and appellate filings. The regional variety also mirrors his professional affiliations: he belongs to the New Jersey State Bar Association since 1991, the Hawaii State Bar Association since 1994, and the District of Columbia Bar Association since 1996. Locally, he has been part of the Passaic County Bar Association since 1995.
Shulman's leadership in professional organizations has been steady and public. He chaired the American Immigration Lawyers Association’s New Jersey Chapter in 2003 and later served as the Vermont Service Center Liaison for AILA in 2005, a role that involves regular contact with federal immigration processing officials. In 2011 he chaired the New Jersey Bar Association’s Immigration Law Section, a post that placed him in the middle of statewide discussions about policy and practice. Those positions indicate long-term involvement in the networks that shape immigration practice in the region.
His law practice centers on immigration law, drawing on years of dealing with administrative agencies, federal courts, and appellate procedure. He has represented clients before immigration authorities and in federal court, prepared appellate briefs, and handled matters that cross state lines. The combination of circuit admissions and Supreme Court credentialing means he can take cases beyond a single jurisdiction when necessary.
Shulman practices through The Shulman Law Group, LLC, where he works on petitions, appeals, and administrative matters tied to immigration. Colleagues and clients encounter an attorney who knows the procedures of federal courts and immigration offices alike. Today he continues to represent individuals and organizations in immigration matters and related federal proceedings, concentrating his practice on immigration law and appellate work.
