May the most High bless you and your family

Rachel Van Wormer is the best professional and trustworthy lawyer I met. When I walked into the office, I really felt comfortable with her ward contact and very friendly smile. Instead talking traditional, I found myself talking to a friend/sister. She walk me through the process step by step, filed ...and followed up my case. The fee was extremely reasonable. I definitely recommend Rachel to anyone and everyone with immigration problems. Thank you Rachel and may the most High bless you and your family.

Best of luck to you!

First, Ms. Van Wormer was very successful helping my wife receive U.S. Residency. When you explain your case to Ms. Van Wormer, she will communicate clearly what your chances are for success. Next, she will let you know your option(s) should you decide to move forward with your case. Ms. Van Wormer w...ill let you know what she expects from you and what she will do for your case in order to be successful. What is important to understand is that Ms. Van Wormer will be completely honest with you and she will use her skills and experience to help you resolve your case favorably for you. Also, just as important to know is that Ms. Van Wormer is very proactive and skillful when working USCIS',s processes and procedures. I had a couple of lawyers prior and truly wish we had found Ms. Van Wormer first, because she is very knowledgeable, experienced, proactive, and communicates well. You could not be in better hands. That is why we are coming back to Ms. Van Wormer when it is time for my wife to apply for her U.S. Citizenship. Best of luck to you! v/r S.J. Clark

I recommend her services to anyone

I was recently a client of Rachel's and I have nothing but great feedback on her services as an immigration attorney. I met her four years ago during one of the most difficult times in my life and throughout the entire process of me becoming a permanent resident, rachel's dedication to my case was st...ellar. I truly appreciated her prompt responses to my many questions and the way she interpreted the law so I could understand it. I recommend her services to anyone looking for a friendly, empathetic and able attorney.

Professional, Highly Recommend, Very thorough

Issues regarding payments with my previous employer Professional, Highly Recommend, Very thorough and looks into the minor details, Patience... Dear Rachel & Von Warmer Associates I just wanted to take this Feedback forum as a means to convey my gratitude and appreciation for the work you did and... all the cooperation & coordination that was needed to get the case to be a success, I don't really have words to convey my thanks to you, Was really in a dire strait while i reached you, where almost no one was willing to take up the case being a non local (Employer state )to the state i live, It was just a blessing in disguise while you responded and was willing to take up the case, I really appreciate all the help and hard work you and your associates did, numerous times that you needed to call me to understand the case and minor details needed as supporting factors of our case, I would take it as privilege if you could do the cases of my references too, Thanks again...

Rachel is a great lawyer and highly reliable.

My family's case was previously handled by two other immigration lawyers before I found Rachel. My issues and bad experiences with the former lawyers were completely the opposite of what Rachel is and what she has done for us. She is very professional, knowledgeable and thorough, empathetic and war...m. She responded to my emails and phone calls with promptness and really found time to sit down with you whenever I requested to. She efficiently handled our case throughout the entire process without wasting any time. She knows and understands how critical and valuable time is to her clients in immigration cases. Rachel is a great lawyer and highly reliable. It was a truly great experience for me and my family to have worked with Rachel on our case. My family is very fortunate and blessed to have met Rachel and handled our immigration case to its successful conclusion and completion.
