Great immigration service

Very honest, trustworthy and straightforward. I highly recommend contacting the Law Office of Rachel Benedict for your immigration cases. I had the most positive experience working with Ms. Benedict! She is both encouraging and thorough in her approach, very knowledgeable, realistic and very suppo...rtive! I am pleased to say the process was successful and seamless and by far the best experience I have had with an immigration attorney!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
