Amazing Immigration Attorney

From the moment my husband and I met Rachel, we felt comfortable hiring her as our lawyer. She is professional, knowledgeable and fun, and made my experience of getting my greencard flawless. She helped us collect all the documents necessary, had an answer to all our questions, and coached us through... the interview process. We came out more than prepared. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!

Simply The Best

From the moment you walk in her office, greeted by two adorable and friendly dogs, you know you're not in a corporate type law firm. Rachel and her team are caring, thorough and compassionate. She made sure every detail was covered in our green card application for my wife. We were fully prepared ...for our interview, enough that we felt confident going there alone. Every question the officer asked we had already covered in our final meeting the week prior. I cannot reccommend Rachel enough...she's simply the best!!

Green card

Rachel was a great support to my wife and me. She prepared us very well for our interview. Gave us answers to all questions we had, made sure all we collected enough documents to proof our marriage is real. My favorite thing about her office they reply back in few minutes! Thank you!

Greencard success

My green card journey was long and varied, and Rachel was with me every step of the way. I always felt understood, supported and safe. Rachel made herself available whenever I needed her, which was beyond valuable to me during this process. She's an extremely experienced attorney who guided me throug...h every single form, interview, etc. Anyone who is able to work with her is lucky.

Direct, Honest, Hardworking, Informed - HIRE HER

I was recommended to Rachel by a friend, and after our first consultation I knew she was the one to hire. Even though I didn't hire her for a few months after our meeting, she stuck to the original rate she quoted us, even though her rates had gone up a bit since. That to me was a sign of integrity a...nd honesty. The immigration situation is such a long and drawn out process with SO much paperwork and many moving parts, but Rachel and her assistant Hillary helped us out a great deal by letting us know exactly what was needed for us to put together a great packet. Once we finally got around to our marriage interview, the interviewer even said that it was a really good packet. He gave us very little grief or questioning about our relationship, and we think it's because the packet was so thorough with photos, texts, etc. This process took about 9 months of our lives, and Rachel was with us every step of the way to answer questions, return emails, etc. One small complaint is that there were two occasions earlier in the process where there were misspellings of names or missing info that wasn't sent over on her end that probably cost us about a month in delays, but it was nothing really major. My husband just received his Green Card in the mail yesterday, and we're glad that this part of the process is over, and we'd recommend Rachel to anyone who needs an immigration attorney that's focused on the LGBT community. She really is an asset to our community. We are very, very pleased and would recommend Rachel quickly and enthusiastically.
