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

The BEST!!

Rachel is the best lawyer, and believe us when We say she is the BEST! Rachel is an extraordinary, knowledgeable, and experienced attorney, she saved our family, we couldn't be more grateful to have found her. We hired Rachel desperately! and she was our angel, we have no words to describe how amaz...ing she has been during a very long process. Rachel was our second attorney on the case, if we had met Rachel sooner, we would not have gone through so many disappointments and spent so much time and money. Rachel picked our case and started from 0! Rachel was able to re-establish our hopes and fought very hard for our rights. Despite all the challenges with USCIS during the process, Rachel kept us at ease, was so understanding, and explained all the steps so well. Rachel kept us informed, explained the laws, the process, and guided us through the anxiety that came along the way with so much support and understanding. She made us feel validated, she listened to all the questions and doubts we had, made us feel supported and confident. She responded to us in a very incredible way, Rachel was not only our advocate but became our therapist and a friend forever. Rachel made us feel respected and valued, I can't thank Rachel enough for keeping our family together and making us feel completely happy again.

Expert, considerate, and professional. Representation you can trust

Rachel and her team lead my effort to become a US citizen. From the outset, her deep domain knowledge and expertise in this area was evident. Everything from collecting the relevant data in support of my submission, dossier review and filing, interview preparation and access to resources in advan...ce of the interview were handled in a manner that can only be considered expert. Rachel spent the time to prepare me for the in person interview, walked me through the overall process, and participated with me as my attorney in the face to face interview. Rachel and her supporting team turned what is normally a stressful and difficult process into a straightforward affair with a clear end in mind. Now a US citizen, I can not thank her enough for all her support and would recommend Rachel to anyone looking for representation in this area. Thank you!

Rachel was absolutely terrific! Extraordinary professional and very knowledgeable

Me and my husband had a difficult case due to his probation and open case and Rachel did make sure we feel comfortable with the whole process, starting from consultation to the very end with prep interview and the interview itself (it took immigration almost a year and Rachel and her associates alway...s kept in touch with us, letting us know about what is happening and the next steps and everything). The moment you walk into the Rachel's office you know you are in good hands, that is how much of a pro she is. Office is right in the downtown Boston so its a little hard with parking but other than that there is no other minuses about the experience with Rachel Self. Thank you for all your support and detailed explanation of everything! So much appreciated! And so very much recommended. Thank you

Rachel self amazing, honest lawyer. Melhor/ Mejor. You found what you were looking for !

Let me start by she is god sent to help people. I thank god everyday I found her. She knows the law, she is responsible, kind, honest, knowledgeable, speaks Spanish and have staff that speaks Portuguese. She will fight for you. I went to 5 different immigration lawyers and they made my case sound im...possible and like I had no chance. I found Rachel here on avvo.com and I’m glad I read the reviews. My case was immigration and criminal. She worked along with my criminal lawyer advising him what was the best outcome for my immigration case. Than she reopened my deportation case, filing a I751 to obtain my green card. Everything happened just the way she said, she fought for me Like I was her family member. I just got approved for my green card and now I’m on my way to citizenship thanks for her hard work and dedication to her clients. “Don’t waste your time looking for a lawyer she is the one you need.” If you have a chance she will be honest and make it happen. Words can’t thank you enough Rachel self! God bless you ! Amazing!
