The Lawyer You Need

I used Rosa for both my residency and citizenship. She was very thorough and responsive and always made time to address my concerns. Rosa's experience and knowledge make her the advocate that you want on your side. She is a great lawyer whom I can't recommend enough!

Trustworthy, Honest, Professional Immigration Attorney who is Tough as nails with a heart of gold

Rosa Barreca is an outstanding attorney and an exceptional individual. Since we retained her in 2017, she has been instrumental in keeping our family together. Her dedication to advocating for immigrants is unparalleled, and her extensive knowledge of immigration law sets her apart from other attorne...ys, particularly given her prior experience as an ICE officer. Unlike many attorneys who rely heavily on their staff for client communication, Rosa maintains a hands-on approach. She is highly responsive, accessible, and personally involved in every case. Having dealt with other immigration attorneys in the past, I have unfortunately encountered dishonesty and excessive fees. However, Rosa operates with integrity—she will never mislead you about your case. Rosa’s deep expertise in immigration law enabled her to help us when no one else could. Her skill, dedication, and compassion have been life-changing for our family. We are profoundly grateful for her efforts and cannot recommend her highly enough.

Avvo Rating

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.
