Excellent lawyer

Excellent service, very Happy with all the effort, I recommend this lawyer to anyone with immigration issues, my nephew came from Dominican Republic illegal, he was detained in Texas, he saw a judge without having the lawyer advice before hiring him and made many mistakes and even with all this issue...s the lawyer Elliot Rahimi helps him all the way possible and finally get him out, i saw how he hardly works on this case and I really appreciate all the work, effort and passion he put on my nephew’s case, please don’t hesitate and call him. Thank you so much. Elliot, God bless you and your team.

The best immigration attorney!

I was looking for an immigration attorney and a really good friend of mine referred Elliot. The first time I spoke to him we probably spoke for over an hour and I told him mine and my wife’s situation. He seemed very compassionate and knowledgeable so we decided to go with him. I don’t know if ...he does this with all his clients but he gave me his cell phone and we would text back and forth pretty regularly. Anytime I would call he was alway extremely accessible. This is definitely not common for many other attorneys who seem like they’re to busy to bother with you or don’t care. Elliot does care and even though you know he’s busy he always made time. He gave us very good guidelines of the things that we needed to put together for immigration and we uploaded everything onto a shared google drive which we could all review. The process wasn’t pretty smooth and I was honestly expecting there to be more hurdles however Elliot kept everything on track for us and several months later my wife just got her green card! I’ve done some research and bottom line he may be the best immigration attorney in the country. His rates are more then reasonable and I was really happy. If you want a smart, professional, and empathetic attorney I would highly recommend Elliot :)

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.
