Outstanding attorney, great team

Rakhel and her team have done an amazing job by having my petition prepared and approved quickly and with no RFEs. Great support throughout the process. Always responds to emails, very polite, mature and professional. Superb, result-oriented service.

Top Notch Immigration Lawyer

For anyone looking for an immigration lawyer in NYC, stop the searching and contact Rakhel Milstein. Rakhel was referred to us by friends to assist in helping my daughter, a performing artist, apply and acquire her O1 visa after her OPT expired earlier this year. It is not a simple process, cons...idering the current US government administration, and a number of hurdles needed to be overcome, but Rakhel and her team did what they do best and we received notification today, that she has been approved. Rakhel, is not only a great attorney but also a very professional person, that always responded to our emails/ calls promptly. I would highly recommend her without any reservations to anyone in need of a US Immigration lawyer.

The Best Immigration Lawyer for Success

I had a great pleasure having Rakhel and her team working on my O-1 petition that was approved right away. I was very worried at first since I’ve been in the USA on different visas and my OPT was close to expiring. While other lawyers said I don’t have enough time and were hesitating to take on my ca...se, Rakhel offered a free consultation to get familiar with my evidence and confirmed that I have sufficient evidence to qualify for Extraordinary Ability Visa. Rakhel believed in me and with all of the confidence, I knew right away she is the lawyer who I want to lead my case. She cares about people and their success and she delivered her promise. She made the legal matter such an enjoyable experience and promptly answered to any of my concerns. But most importantly Rakhel was able to put together a solid case using my evidence that represented me on the top level. As a result, I got my O-1 Visa Approved. The timeline was met which was very important to me as well. I started working with Rakhel in mid-July and in mid-October I got approved (consider premium processing fee for the faster processing by USCIS). I look forward to working with Rakhel on my Green Card Application and would highly recommend Milstein Law Group to anyone who needs help with their Visa or Green Card applications.

Excellent Experience

I used Rakhel for my EB1 application, which turned into a fantastic experience with the case being approved. She was able to look at all my supporting documentation and recommend that I apply for an EB1 Green Card. Rakhel was able to think outside the box with my case and see something that previous ...attorneys had missed. Without her I would not be in my present situation and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for immigration advice.

SIMPLY THE BEST

Rakhel Speyer Milstein is by far the best immigration lawyer I have worked with. She is professional, meticulous and was ALWAYS available when I had a question or concern about my case. Her staff was also knowledgeable and extremely helpful during this lengthy process. I highly recommend Rakhel and... her firm for ALL of your immigration matters.

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.
