Fantastic Lawyer

Rachel has been a godsend for my wife and myself. I personally do not have much experience with lawyers. She was attentive to our needs in every aspect of our case, gave simplified direction, and walked us through what needs to be taken care. She is always available for issues or questions and respon...ds in a timely manner at any time of day. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a honest, hard working and highly-skilled lawyer. We greatly appreciate her help!

Excellent attorney

Rachel has been very helpful throughout my PERM process. She’s very professional, approachable, knowledgeable and reliable. We had couple of RFE requests on my case and Rachel handled it with ease. I can say with a confidence Rachel did everything she could to make my green card process and go smoo...th and successful. I would highly recommend Rachel as an attorney.

Excellent immigration lawyer

I was referred by a friend to Pratt International Law Firm, in which I met Rachel. She was very professional and knowledgeable. I told her about my situation of how my fiancée was denied visa to come here to the States. She told me not to worry and would take care of everything. Once I gathered ...all the documents needed to file for my marriage license Rachel took care of everything for me. The whole process from hiring her to my wife getting here took shorter than expected due to her expertise. Planning from the beginning explaining what happen to the very end took less than a year. She was very helpful, as I was very anxious and nervous. Always messaging her and her team, making sure things are going well and according to plan. She didn’t mind me asking and constantly asking her questions about my case and was very professional about it and explain to me anything that I did not understand or needed help with. I am happy and super glad I hired Rachel as my lawyer. Without my beautiful wife wouldn’t be here with me now. I am truly thankful for her expertise and help throughout this process and would never forget her kindness and helping hand to make this possible.

Most professioanl behavior and most knowledgable immigration attorney till date

I went to Rachel, for some advice related to my work status and other Immigration issues related to a misdemeanor. I haven't seen such professionalism anywhere till now. She was wonderful in providing me with information, all the necessary details around my case and the other recommendations she co...uld make for me. For a specific question her firm didn't had the exact expertize, but like others she didn't kept me waiting, she immediately told me that her firm don't have the exact expertize to deal with it and she will recommend me to a good professional firm that can take care of it. I was really impressed with the level of professionalism and honesty she and her firm carries. I am definitely coming back to her in future for all my immigration needs and would surely recommend her to anyone who needs help and guidance for immigration issues like me.
