Thank you, Rachel, for everything you have done for me. You have made a significant impact on my life, and I am forever grateful

I am incredibly grateful to Rachel for her outstanding support and expertise during my asylum process and marriage application. Thanks to her dedication and hard work, I am thrilled to finally have my green card. Rachel's professionalism and knowledge in immigration law are unmatched, but what tru...ly sets her apart is her compassionate and caring nature. During one of the most stressful periods of my life, especially after the passing of my mother, Rachel provided not only legal counsel but also comfort and reassurance, like a family member would. She was always available to answer my questions, address my concerns, and guide me through each step with patience and understanding. Her ability to ease my anxiety and instill confidence in me was invaluable. I cannot thank her enough for her unwavering support and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking an exceptional immigration lawyer. Thank you, Rachel, for everything you have done for me. You have made a significant impact on my life, and I am forever grateful.

Absolutely amazing lawyer!

Rachel Engebretson is an amazing lawyer that went above and beyond to achieve the best possible outcome for our son. She was an advocate for our son when all hope was lost. She worked tirelessly to meet deadlines. Rachel has great communication and listening skills, and is very thorough and very u...nderstanding. Her communication and knowledge were key in gathering information for our case. She has a great attitude and a genuine love of helping people. We are so very thankful for the work that Rachel did. We would recommend her to anyone.

Extraordinary!

Our Attorney, Rachel Engebretson, handled a difficult issue outside the normal area of her expertise with grace and persistence. She showed enormous care, researched with thorough skill and attention to detail, followed through and completed this issue in a short amount of time. We will be forever gr...ateful for her compassion, professional approach, knowledge and commitment. I would highly recommend her to any potential client.

A truly generous immigration expert

I felt I was losing my mind during all my immigartion woes, but Rachel’s kindness, enthusiasm and expertise was really pivotal during the process of my green card application, and she really helped keep me calm. She was giddy every time we got good news, and was patient with me during the times we ha...d to wait, when I would call her and ask her to explain all of my options, and help me understand why some parts of the application were so difficult. When I began to go through a particularly difficult time in my personal life, Rachel seemed to become even more supportive, and she made efforts to understand how grief was affecting my life. She fought to make sure I had space to process what USCIS was asking for me during my green card application process, and she also made sure I had space to process what was happening in my own life. I wholly recommend her, her legal practice and her incredible expertise. It seemed she was doing so much without breaking a sweat. I would not have made it out whole without her generosity.

Incredible Lawyer!

Mrs. Rachel has been a kind and wonderful lawyer for me. She is always consistent in updating me on my case and answering any question I may have. Even during the time of Covid-19 she stayed in contact with me regularly and would even massage me just to ask how my family and I were doing. Her legal k...nowledge is only surpassed by her kindness. When I was referred to Mrs. Rachel I was excited but didn't not see hiring her as a real possibility because of financial difficulties but she was kind enough to take on my complicated case pro bono. Words can not describe how grateful I am.
