About Rebeca

Biography

Let Us Be Your Voice- In legal proceedings, it is important to have qualified and knowledgeable representation. This is especially crucial in immigration, where notarios (public notaries who have no legal training or authority) often try to offer advice unlawfully and at great harm to you!

Great Help with My Case

My immigration case is complicated because I trusted a paralegal with little legal background to handle it, but she messed up, and now I have to fix it. I hired attorney Rebeca Salmon to help me get my case straight, and so far she is doing a great job. Highly recommend!

Andrey - thank you for taking the time to leave this review and also to caution others about the dangers of using untrained and unlicensed "paralegals" and "notarios" for legal matters! We have you back on track now!

Trustworthy Attorney

It's very hard to find a trustworthy immigration attorney these days, but I trust Ms. Salmon. She is helping me with my asylum application - which is a super difficult process that requires a lot of expertise. I feel like my case is in very good hands.

Excellent Attorney

Ms. Salmon is an incredible attorney! She helped me handle my divorce. Everything went smoothly thanks to her. I would highly recommend her if you have a family issue and you need a professional to take care of it.

Liz, Divorce can be such an unsettling time, we were happy to help you untangle the legal relationship and still maintain a friendship with your ex. You deserve a lot of the credit for being so willing to listen and participate. It was our pleasure and thank you for leaving the nice review.

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.
