EXPERIENCE AND STRATEGIC LAWYER 1000% RECOMMENDED

We want to thank Attorney Neil Rambana and his entire team for the excellent work done in our case. My husband had a deportation order and the Attorney Neil Rambana managed to stop that as soon as we heard about it. During the time He handled the case, He structured it in such a way that although som...etimes we did not understand why we applied to so many documents or because sometimes the appointments were extended for so long, however, later we realized that everything was part of the STRATEGY HE HAD to resolve the case in our favor and demonstrate that my husband was a person with principles and that he really did a lot of social help in our community. Over time we went accumulating points in our favor that finally on the day of the last judgment we had a great support. Every question asked by the lawyer always had a positive reason to point out that everything he said was true. He knew how to debate the questions or statements of the prosecutor and the judge, always in our favor. Even at the end of the trial he was congratulated SEVERAL TIMES and repeat SEVERAL TIMES by the JUDGE saying "CONGRATULATIONS FOR HAVING HIRED A VERY GOOD LAWYER" I CONGRATULATE ATTORNEY NEIL DIRECTLY FOR THE PROFESSIONAL HE WAS THROUGHOUT THE TRIAL AND FOR HOW HE HAD PREPARED FOR THE CASE. I EMPHASIZE IT WAS MANY TIMES THAT THE JUDGE CONGRATULATED US FOR HIRING ATTORNEY NEIL, THE JUDGE WAS REALLY IMPRESSED WITH HOW HE KNEW HOW TO HANDLE THE CASE. EVEN THE JUDGE MENTIONED THAT IT HAD BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE HE HAD SUCH A GOOD LAWYER IN HIS COURT. We recommend 1000% to Lawyer Neil Rambana and his team. A professional in every sense of the word. He always told us that we would not have 100% of winning the case but that if we worked well and prepare we could win the case. Days before the trial, the security with which the lawyer spoke really gave us peace of mind, we never noticed him nervous, anxious or worried, He always told us the truth from the beginning, the opportunities we had and that we did have a chance. He always had a plan B, and we saw that He was working ahead of the situation. Our case was HARD but with his advice and joint work we went out to achieve in Victory! MONICA

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.
