Immigration Representation

Attorney Self was a referral from another law firm. From the initial contact she was nothing but professional with such positive attitude and energy towards our sensitive case. Rachel is not your typical attorney. She is very knowledgeable and generally seems to take a real interest in her clients. A...t our initial meeting she explained in layman terms the process and the time-line. She was accurated with both without any unpleasant surprises. We would highly recommend Rachel in cases similar to ours involving Immigration, without any hesitation.

She is the best!

I don't usually take part in these "review" forums, maybe because I just don't seem to ever receive what I would call "great service". People today seem to want to do just enough to get by. Well, there apparently is an exception to every rule, and Rachel Self is just that when it comes to attorneys!... While ours was not the "biggest" case she'll ever take on, she made us feel as though it was the most important! She kept us informed every step of the way so that we knew what the possible outcomes could be. She was immediately available to answer any questions we had along the way and most importantly of all, she was prepared! Watching her in court, I got the feeling she was actually teaching the judge a few things about the law! During a time of considerable anxiety for our family, it was extremely comforting to know that Rachel was working for us! If you unfortunately find yourself in need of an attorney, I strongly suggest you call Rachel Self!!

Would Highly Reccomend

Rachel was invaluable in helping my husband and I through the process of obtaining his green card. She is very clear about what she needs from you, impeccably prepared for meetings and always greets you with a smile. She made a process which, on paper, seemed impossible to understand but her vast e...xperience with cases similar to ours made us feel like we were always in safe hands. She was most helpful during our in-person interview by keeping us well-informed as to what type of questions we might be asked and making us feel assured in the strength of our case. In short, she was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

A perceptive and forceful negotiator

I engaged Attorney Self for a show-cause hearing for assault and battery. She made a deep and acute study of the situation and the people involved, engaged the complainant in negotiations before the hearing began, and the result was that the complaint was withdrawn without further legal action. It ...was beautifully done.
