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!

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.

From Nashua st jail to US citizen! Rachel has rescued me from the abyss .

Rachel has made possible what everyone else told me it was impossible. My case was really complicated ! Years ago I was charged and convicted with a felony offense for larceny and then placed on removal proceedings by the immigration ! Every single professional I talked to told me I had no chance ! E...xcept for Rachel She took on my both cases. Criminal and immigration ! She fought hard and with her amazing knowledge and professionalism she rescued me from the darkness ! She got me out of removal procedures and also she had my criminal case overturned and my conviction revoked ! Then she went back to the immigration case and had my status adjusted to a permanent resident ! It was a long relentless hard battle but she never stopped working in my case. Always with a great smile helping me getting my life back ! And Then in addition to it all finally she had another great victory to my life. She helped me become a US citizen My case really is like a movie story of redemption. She is my savior angel Without her help I would be nothing today ! No matter how tough it’s the situation you’re in, all you have to do is “ never give up “ and put your problem on the hands of the best professionals ! And believe me Rachel is the best you can get !!!
