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!

You definitley get what you pay for!

This is the lawyer you need in your corner to handle all of you NCIS problems. I can not express how good this lawyer is. She will always keep your best interests first. She is very precise. I had multiple charges against me, Ms. Salmon defended me with great confidence. I can not tell you how great... full I am for her services. Rebeca's staff was so kind to me and my wife. I dealt with Cammila, her secretary who is the best! She would call me to inform me all the time. She handled my family and I with loving care. Rebeca had another lawyer start my case and she was not the caliber of a lawyer needed for my case since it was to overwhelming. Once Rebeca was informed of the problems we were having with this associate, she stepped in and took over and became victorious. I was very thrilled that this attorney also does pro-bono work and helps a lot of people who can not afford to pay for proper legal representation. My God supplied this attorney to me, she came highly recommended and we asked three different government agencies and all three of them recommended her services. Since the number 3 in God's number meaning the Trinity. We knew she was the one for me. My God also provided the money to pay for her services, $21,500.00. I can not Thank Ms. Salmon enough for what she has done for me and my family. Please feel free to call me anytime for a reference. 678-699-6560. I pray she continues to give people a real fighting chance.

Thank you Peter for your kind words of appreciation. The entire team here sincerely celebrates the success of your case as you are so very deserving! Yes, your case was far above the average cost of most of our clients (due to the complexity of your legal issues);however, know that a great portion of your fees went to our sister agency: Access To Law, and allowed our skilled attorneys the flexibility to represent several kids before these same harsh immigration judges - probono! So Thank you again and we wish you continued success as a naturalized citizen :)

From Lawyer to friend to family, if anyone can help is Rebeca Salmon

It would be fair to say that my immigration case was near to impossible to resolve, the intricacy of it would’ve challenge even the brightest of lawyers and in fact did, many of the ones I try to hire to help me with my case turned it down on the basis of its difficulty but not Rebeca, she welcomed i...t with open arms, she was more than willing to take it on with the assurance and the promise that she would go and do what she needed to do to help me and my children, even though it was an extensive and long process her performance was flawless, she delivered what she promised and more, her team was a vital part of the result as well, her level of expertise combined with her wit and compassion for her clients is outstanding, that is what made all the difference, she became a friend and I would say at this point even part of our family, now that I’m a permanent resident of the U.S. I’m immensely grateful with God for giving Rebeca all the qualities, skills and values that she possesses because without her I would not be here with my children today. In all my experiences dealing with legal service providers not one come close to what I have experienced with Rebeca, she is one of a kind, contrasting my own experience with the few negative reviews here I can only infer that those comments come from people who does not know Rebeca and her team personally, I highly recommend Rebeca and her team “A Salmon Firm” for any and all your legal needs. Thank you so much Rebeca and I look forward to hire you again when the time comes for me to become a U.S. Citizen!

Committed Advocate for Immigrant Kids

I am a social worker with immigrant minors and have worked with Rebecca Salmon and Access to Law on a number of juvenile immigration cases for asylum and SIJS. Through these experiences, I trust that she is an expert at navigating the juvenile and immigration law and a compassionate advocate for the...se kids and their families. Her team at Access to Law shows great committment to their clients and does great work. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an immigration attorney, especially for a minor.

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.
