Honest, Skilled, and Compassionate — Highly Recommended

We had the privilege of working with Rachel on my parents' green card cases, and we cannot speak highly enough of her. Their particular case was complicated and yet she handled it with a level of professionalism, knowledge, and compassion that truly stood out. From the very beginning, she demonstrate...d not only a deep understanding of immigration law, but also extraordinary patience, empathy, and care. She took the time to explain to them every part of the process and made sure they felt informed and supported through it all. Thanks to Rachel, we were able to achieve a favorable outcome that we truly believe would not have been possible without her. We wholeheartedly and confidently recommend Rachel to anyone in need of a truly dedicated and trustworthy immigration attorney. She is exceptional at what she does and we are deeply grateful to have had her by our side.

Empathic Attorney

Rachel represented us in a criminal case that extended over 5 1/2 years. During this time the prosecution was disinterested in examining the facts or dropping the case that was rife with dubious and conflicting testimony. Rachel took the time to peel the layers back exposing the predisposed rush t...o judgement. Her skill as a lawyer and empathy as a person allowed us to dismantle the web of accusations and expose them as false. It was an especially trying case for ourselves and Rachel. We never gave up and Rachel provided logical and caring advice throughout the ordeal. There is no way we can thank her enough.

US Citizenship Application

Rachel Self was instrumental throughout the process of my naturalization (to become a US citizen). She was responsive throughout, very detailed, making sure that every item that could potentially present a problem was addressed. I found Rachel very pleasant to work with and very professional (even th...ough she was dealing with a personal loss as we were preparing for the interview). I would highly recommend Rachel Self as your attorney as you are considering applying for your citizenship.

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
