The most relaible, infirmative, well communicative and trustae allorney !

When I didn't have any hope attorney Rachel showed me the way. From beginning to the end. Today I am a proud citizens of the United states of America because of God and her. Attorney like her comes in our life very often. There were time I was so confused in the middle of the night, I emailed her and... got respond in ten to fifteen minutes, no matter how late it is. That sets her standard higher. Five star all the way.

I highly recommend Rachel Effron

I've worked with Rachel for about 1 year, and she's an excellent immigration lawyer to work with. If you need an immigration lawyer, I highly recommend Rachel, she's definitely trustworthy, responsive, knowledgeable, and kept me informed.

Exceptional immigration attorney who's knowledgable, caring, and very thorough in her work

Ms. Effron helped me with my residency and citizenship applications. She was highly organized and EXCEPTIONALLY thorough, with my applications. She was very prompt in her response and was reachable at all times. With her help, navigating USCIS and the complicated immigration process, became a breeze.... A few years back, I ran into an issue with the US embassy, when trying to obtain a visa renewal. Ms. Effron provided valuable guidance that helped expedite my case. That was, in-fact, the first time I used her services. Around the same time, two other members of my department (I work at a university), ran into similar issues and, again by following her advice we were able to expedite their return. Needless to say, she also became the go-to person for all immigration related questions in our department . In my professional life, I have been an international student, staff & professor, at four prominent universities. As a result, I have interacted with many individuals who work on immigration related matters. Given this background, I can safely say that Ms. Effron is exceptional in the attention and care that she gives to her clients.

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.
