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!

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.

Abogada

Hola yo eh tenido oportunidad de haberme cruzado con la oficina de Rebeca Salmon y a sido lo mejor que me pudo pasar . Yo tenia desde el 2012 con orden de deportacion y por lo que batalle para encontrar representacion se que mi caso era extremadamente dificil. Ya que cada abogado/a que buscaba me dec...ia que era imposible ayudarme. Incluso una abogada falsamente tomo mi caso sabiendo que las “aplicaciones” por las que me cobro yo de ninguna manera calificaba. Haci que le page bastante dinero y estuve a punto de ser deportada. Una amiga me comento que talves con Rebeca Salmon podria saber si en realidad tenia oh no opcion. Aqui me encontre con todo personal que solo busca lo mejor para uno. Claramente me dieron un “uff” me dijo es super dificil pero podremos intentar..Rebeca a sido dedicada con mi caso 100% peleo la felonia que tenia asta que se me fue removida ya que fue erronia. Estaba deportada desde 2013 ya mi caso estaba cerrado pero por mi niño descapacitado pudimos ganar tiempo para yegar asta ahora. En 2015 ella tomo mi caso y ahora hemos llegado tan lejos. Lo primero fue ayudarme a conseguir mi permiso de trabajo. Al mismo tiempo varias renovaciones para extender mi tiempo y seguir luchando. Mientras peleanamos en Gwinnett County para remover mi cargo ya que con eso nunca podria avanzar mi caso de imigracion. En Noviembre del año pasado finalmente fue removido. Sin perder tiempo metio mi peticion para volver abrir mi caso de imigracion. Lo cual gracias a Dios en Enero nos lo abrieron. Y ahora solo esperamos mi cancelacion de deportacion for medios extremos osea en mi caso es mi niño. En esta oficina todo el personal es super eficiente. Justamente me toca otra ves renovar mi permiso de trabajo y estan muy atentos a llamar para empesar el proceso con tiempo para que alcanse a yegar antes del vencimiento del anterior. Aqui lo tratan a uno como familia y para ellis el bienestar de sus clientes es lo mas importante. Aqui se habla español e ingles para que uno se sienta mas tranquilo en cuestion de comunicacion!! Toda mi familia y yo siempre estaremos agradecidos con el empeño que an tomado mi caso.

Lia como siempre ayundando ustead es un placer! ...English: Lia, like always helping you is a pleasure. Hi, I have had the opportunity to come across Rebeca Salmon's office and it was the best thing that could have happened to me. I had a deportation order since 2012 and I struggled to find representation. I knew that my case was extremely difficult because every lawyer I saw told me that it was impossible to help me. Even a lawyer falsely took my case knowing that I did not qualify at all for the "applications" yet she charged me. I paid her a lot of money and I was almost deported. A friend told me that maybe with Rebeca Salmon I would find out if I really had any options. I met all the staff who only want the best for you. Clearly, they gave me a "phew!", she told me it was super hard but we can try... Rebeca has been 100% dedicated to my case. She fought the felony that I had until it was removed because it was wrong. I had been deported since 2013 and my case was closed but because of my disabled child we were able to buy more time to this day. In 2015 she took my case and now we have come so far. The first thing was to help me get my work permit. At the same time several renewals to extend my time and continue fighting. While we fought in Gwinnett County to have my charge removed because with it, my immigration case would never advance. In November of last year, it was finally removed. Without wasting time, she filed my application to re-open my immigration case. Which thank God in January they opened it for us. And now we are only waiting for my cancellation of deportation for extreme hardships, in my case it is because of my child. In this office all the staff is super-efficient. I just had to renew my work permit again and they are very attentive to call and start the process with time so that they can send it before the expiration of the previous one. Here they treat you like family and the well-being of their clients is the most important thing for them. Here they speak Spanish and English so that you can feel better when it comes to communication! My family and I will always be grateful for all the effort they have made in my case.

My Angle!

Attorney Rebeca is more than a lawyer for me. With great confidence, I can say she is my angle. Rebeca is exceptionally professional of what she does and knows the law very well. Honesty, reliability and hard work is a basic definition for her professional character. I have never seen anyone with pro...fessional ethics and confidence as attorney Rebeca. She is always an email away and available when I needed her for my case. I was lost and helpless when I hired attorney Rebeca. Today, thanks to her sound advise and prompt action, I am full of confidence and focused on my personal development. I am forever indebted for what she has done for me. Thank you attorney Rebeca for everything you have done for me and God bless you!

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.
