The most supportive and thorough lawyers to hire, for an O1A visa

I cannot thank MLG enough for their exceptional support during my O1A visa process. I reached out to them under a tight deadline, and while most other lawyers I consulted doubted it was possible to meet it, Rakhel at MLG assured me they would do their best. I had been seeking advice from Rakhel for n...early six months before officially engaging their services, so I felt confident that she would truly put in her best effort. I remember telling her after the first call (where she assesses if your profile is ready or not) that I felt a lot more confident going into the process than I did before. Once we began, I worked closely with Anda on Rakhel’s team, and I couldn’t have asked for a more supportive lawyer! Anda and I communicated daily for two months as she diligently worked on my case. I can’t speak highly enough of her. She was incredibly thorough, clear, polite, and encouraging, all while being remarkably efficient. Every email I sent during that time received a prompt and detailed response from Anda, which provided me with much-needed motivation during such a stressful period—O1A applications are no easy task! When the final case was ready, I was genuinely impressed. The evidence I had provided was presented with such a compelling narrative. While no one can guarantee the outcome of visa applications like these, Anda and Rakhel did an outstanding job by offering timely, consistent legal advice and support. Their dedication to my case, given my timeline, made a world of difference and I highly recommend them!

A transformative journey with truly exceptional Rakhel Milstein and her extraordinary team

I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional legal service provided by Rakhel Milstein and her outstanding team. Her unwavering commitment, profound knowledge of immigration law, and compassionate approach have been pivotal in securing my green card, marking a transformative cha...pter in my life. From the outset, Rakhel showcased an extraordinary level of professionalism. Her meticulous attention to detail, combined with a never-give-up attitude, exemplified her dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for her clients. Rakhel’s strategic and insightful approach to navigating the complexities of my case demonstrated an excellent understanding of the complex legal landscape. It was evident that she not only possesses deep expertise but also a true passion for her work, consistently going above and beyond to ensure a successful application process. What truly sets Rakhel apart is her commitment to putting her clients first. Her open communication, timely responses, and clear explanations alleviated the inherent stress associated with immigration matters. Rakhel took the time to understand my individual circumstances, approaching the legal process with a rare blend of humanity that made me feel genuinely cared for. Throughout the entire journey, Rakhel tackled daunting challenges that we faced with resilience and perseverance. This unyielding determination, coupled with her remarkable competence, instilled confidence and reassurance during my arduous journey. I wholeheartedly recommend Rakhel to anyone seeking an attorney with an exceptional level of professionalism, steadfast commitment, and a genuine concern for her clients.

A real partner to success

I hired Rakhel and her team to get a 01 Visa in Spring 2021. It was still very complex to get a working visa approved. Rakhel and Ryan did miracles, guiding me through every step of this challenging process. They answered e-mails extremely fast (with clear answers and directions within one or two ho...urs, no more). It was not an easy way as we got a first RFE and had to change strategy at some point, but my O1 application was approved in only three months of hard work! I felt very supported from start to finish. I feel fortunate to have hired Rakhel and knew I could rely on her and her team in total confidence. I was very stressed by timing as I started the process late, but she took the challenge to make it happen in the short time we had. She was very empathetic with me and could even manage my (very) high-stress level. I am very grateful for what she did for my family and me and loved how she supported me to reach my goal. I will not hesitate to work with her in the future again. I really believe she can make your dream come true as she did for me -with Ryan who was such a patient and kind person with me in this difficult process.

Fantastic!

I was on a very tight timeline to get a visa approved for an employee, as well as get them an NIE. Rakhel and Ryan were clear communicators, and worked diligently to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible. Will definitely hire again.

Experienced. Results-oriented and Kind

I hired Rakhel and her team to help me prepare my O-1 visa application during possibly the worst time ever for doing so: right through the first pandemic year of 2020 (which means not a lot of OPT related opportunities). Rakhel was thorough, listened to what I’ve got and addressed ALL my questions. ...I was very anxious about my case since it was the first time but her team was always available for calls and reviews. It was great working on my application and seeing it come to shape. When we filed, I got approved in just 10 days and couldn’t be more thankful to her and the team to have helped me despite the crazy pandemic times we’re living. Thank You, Rakhel!!
