Attorney Self... AMAZING!

I hire Attorney Self on a Good impulse; after finding her ad in local paper. In first interview I knew that I hit the jack pot. I had previously talk to other lawyers.They did not seem to grasp my case that was somewhat complicated. She did some researches even before I sign the contract. I eventu...ally sign a contract last August. She told me that it would probably take time. Was very honest about the wait. Before I knew it, I had appointment with Biometrics two weeks later Interview to obtain Permanent Residency. I was scared to death about the interview. She actually made it pleasant. She came with me. got granted a green card right there. Miss Self is a competent and amazing human Being. She is king and is sincerely interest in your case. She change my life. What an Amazing Christmas Present. I will forever be in debt of her.

Hardworking and compassionate

Rachel worked on a case for my husband, she always answered all our questions always called me back when I needed answers and felt that she was always there for us. The case involved immigration issues and she always gave me the good and the bad never sugar coated anything which I respected her for t...hat. Hardworking in a way that she really looked into the laws and how it can work for us. I would recommend her to all my family and friends never disappointed.

Immigration Representation

Attorney Self was a referral from another law firm. From the initial contact she was nothing but professional with such positive attitude and energy towards our sensitive case. Rachel is not your typical attorney. She is very knowledgeable and generally seems to take a real interest in her clients. A...t our initial meeting she explained in layman terms the process and the time-line. She was accurated with both without any unpleasant surprises. We would highly recommend Rachel in cases similar to ours involving Immigration, without any hesitation.

She is the best!

I don't usually take part in these "review" forums, maybe because I just don't seem to ever receive what I would call "great service". People today seem to want to do just enough to get by. Well, there apparently is an exception to every rule, and Rachel Self is just that when it comes to attorneys!... While ours was not the "biggest" case she'll ever take on, she made us feel as though it was the most important! She kept us informed every step of the way so that we knew what the possible outcomes could be. She was immediately available to answer any questions we had along the way and most importantly of all, she was prepared! Watching her in court, I got the feeling she was actually teaching the judge a few things about the law! During a time of considerable anxiety for our family, it was extremely comforting to know that Rachel was working for us! If you unfortunately find yourself in need of an attorney, I strongly suggest you call Rachel Self!!
