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.

Excellent Lawyer

We hired Rachel Self to represent our son in a criminal matter. She gave us hope and told us she had "our son's back". Her compassion during the unfortunate circumstances of the case was a blessing. Thank you Ms Self for our son's freedom and new found future!

One of the best

My wife and I hired Rachel to utilize her vast criminal law expertise. She came highly recommended as someone who  “will fight for you and is an overall caring person”.  Although our case was fairly small in the scope of her practice, her attention and determination never left us feeling it was. She ...responded promptly to our emotional distress call over the weekend. Her approach was sympathetic, thoughtful and dynamic. She worked hard behind the scenes and updated us with clear and concise information about our case as she had it (and was upfront about the costs and expenses being incurred). Ultimately Racheal was able to have our case dismissed by prosecutorial discretion before arraignment, leaving other lawyers in the courtroom asking “how did you do that?” She is well deserving of her top lawyer accolades.

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.
