The lawyer you want by your side!

Rachel is absolutely amazing. She is a brilliant attorney and an unbelievable human being. There are no two cases the same when it comes to immigration law, her thorough knowledge of the law and the procedures, as well as her calming personality are two of the strongest assets one will need in a ...lawyer who represents your immigration case. Rachel was there for me and my husband during our panic attacks, our uncertainties and so much more. She handheld me and my employer while my case was submitted to Immigration Court. We couldn't have wished for a better lawyer. Even when we didn't believe in ourselves, we never lost our trust in Rachel and her capabilities. If you want a lawyer that would go the extra mile for you, hire Rachel. She will give you the piece of mind you didn't know you could have. My husband and I are eternally thankful to Rachel and there are no words we could show our gratitude.

Brilliant Immigration Attorney for Green Card Approval

We were very fortunate to be able to work with Atty Rachel Self for our EAD/AP and adjustment of status applications. From our very first consultation to after receiving our approvals, Rachel provided us with spot on advice and kept us well informed every step of the way. She is a brilliant immigrati...on attorney who works tirelessly for her clients and apart from her professional guidance, she is truly an amazing person to work with. While preparing our applications, she worked swiftly in organizing all the documentation and getting it mailed out at the earliest. She kept us informed of any updates to our case and was always available to answer any of our questions in-person, by email and phone. When we received our interview notices in the mail she advised us on what to expect and what documents to bring with us to the interview so that we would be well prepared and organized. On the day of our interview she accompanied us and the immigration officer approved our applications on the spot. We were told that we would receive our green cards in the mail within two weeks, but we received the approval notice within a week and the card soon afterwards. We wholeheartedly recommend working with Rachel as you not only get a professional but someone who truly cares about securing an approval of your case. Thank you again, Rachel, for always being there for us throughout this entire process. We hope to always stay in touch and look forward to working with you again in the future for our citizenship applications.

The BEST Immigration Attorney

Rachel Self is a great immigration attorney in Boston. She was highly recommended by one of my friend and we are glad she took my immigration case. The previous attorney was no help and instead made my case worse. She is honest and thorough with my case and never gave up hope but instead ensured me t...hat thing will be alright. She was always prepared for upcoming court dates and made sure all the paperwork were complete. I highly recommend Rachel Self to anyone seeking immigration assistance. Thank you very much Rachel.

Exellent immigration attorney

My wife and I hired Attorney Rachel Self after struggling to get anywhere with my wife’s immigration case due to several incompetent careless attorneys. The previous attorneys were not helpful in the least bit, were very hard to get a hold of and just didn’t seem to care about their clients. Rachel ...was the complete opposite. She gave us simple step by step instructions on how to procede with my wife’s case. She was always available all hours of the day whether it be via email text or phone. She always was honest with what was going on with our case, gave no false hopes. She was always on top of things often emailing us documents before we received them in mail. It took only about 1 year after hiring Rachel for my wife’s visa to be approved. She was thorough efficient and quick. I would highly recommend her services to anyone in need of help with their immigration issues. The best attorney around hands down.

The Absolute BEST

We hired Rachel Self to help with my husband’s criminal and immigration cases. Prior to hiring Rachel, we had already worked with not one but three lawyers and were left financially and emotionally drained and disappointed. It’s not that our previous lawyers were not knowledgeable or experienced, it’...s that they did not CARE on a personal level, we were just a job to them, whatever the outcome, they get their pay. Things are completely different with Rachel. From the first meeting with her, we felt important. She honestly sympathized with our situation. She was very professional, asked a many important questions, details that our previous attorneys never even looked into. She’s incredibly hard working and diligent. We know we can TRUST her; she is 100% on our side! What we love about Rachel the most, is that she is always HONEST. If things are bad, she will tell you. She will not work your hopes up and then crush you. She can assess the situation wisely and prepare you for the possible outcomes. Even though, sometimes the outcome may not be the most desirable for us, talking about it ahead of time realistically and honestly has helped us manage our emotions and plan for the future calmly. Our immigration case is still open, but we have finally stopped worrying and can sleep soundly because we have Rachel watching our back. She will not spare any resources to help us. Rachel Self is a true GEM!!! I am thankful to God to have found her. The only thing I regret is not meeting her sooner. If you are involved in a criminal or immigration matter, first of all, I am sorry for what you are going through, and second, you NEED to hire Rachel Self. Rachel Self is truly the best attorney out there!!!
