The most knowledgeable and compassionate lawyer you will ever work with

Rachel is a fantastic lawyer. I have no doubt that whatever immigration need you have, she knows exactly what you need to do and how to do it. But that's not why you should work with her. We interviewed dozens of lawyers before we found Rachel. We did not have a straightforward case and we sat in off...ices of lawyer after lawyer who condescended us, showed a lack of confidence in our case or suggested "easy options" that would separate our family. Rachel was different. She's not just a great lawyer, she's a great person. She treated us with dignity, compassion and humanity. Most importantly, she fought for us. She didn't just file paperwork, she helped us through the process. She answered every email and returned every phone call, no matter how basic or crazy our question or concern was. Anyone can be a lawyer, but Rachel is so much more. She's an advocate, a confidant and an immigration warrior. She kept our family together, won our case and won our hearts.

THE BEST LAWYER

We hired Rachel for immigration case. Her knowledge, experience is outstanding. She led us thru all case step by step. She was so reasonable and patient and so helpful. Explain every single thing what we didn`t know and wasn`t sure to do. We are so grateful for having her as our lawyer. Every singl...e call, text or email she was responding immediately doesn't matter is it weekend or not. I would highly recommend her for any case you need, trust me she`s gonna do everything to help you. Thank you Rachel, Michelle and Vladan

Professional, Detail Oriented, Compassionate, and Knowledgeable

I am a permanent resident and I hired Rachel for my wife's green card application. I had a complicated case due to a misunderstood criminal case for which I am on a pretrial probation. She was very attentive, compassionate, and detail oriented when I explained her my situation. She is very knowledgea...ble and knows the law very well. After listening to my situation she explained me that it would not be a problem and my wife's application will be approved despite of the complications in the case. She did a very thorough job preparing the application and made sure that it was perfect. Today we appeared for the interview (3 months after submitting the application), Rachel went in with my wife, and the officer approved our case in only 5 minutes! Rachel was very professional, punctual, and compassionate throughout her communication with us. I will surely be hiring her next year for my naturalization application! I am very impressed with Rachel and would highly recommend her for immigration as well as criminal matter. She knows the law very well and knows how to steer you through a difficult case.
