THE BEST

My husband had a very complicated case. We worked with 3 attorneys during our 12 year journey to complete his residency. Rebecca was by far the most professional, caring, knowledgeable, and informative attorney we had. She treated us as though we were her only clients. She was honest and transpar...ent. With her expertise and determination, SHE was able to close our case. I am happy to say my husband has his green card. I would recommend her to anyone.

Best experience possible with a complicated immigration case!

I met Rebecca Whiting after having an ungoing immigration case for eight years. After INS abandoned my immigration petition for years I just needed to move on with my life and somehow put an end to this situation. My case was complicated due to a divorce being involved. Ms. Whiting laid out a well de...tailed strategy and a year later my case concluded in success. She is a perfect combination of brilliance, passion and empathy. She was always easy to talk to, prompt with answers, highly knowledgable. My only regret is that I haven't contacted her years earlier. It has been an absolute pleasure working with Ms. Whiting and I would strongly recommend her.

Board of Immigration Appeal

Our experience with Rebecca was AMAZING!! I can honestly say that she is one of the best attorneys that we have worked with. Not only is she knowledgeable, but she is compassionate and was very easy to talk to about a not so easy case. We had lost all hope when our local immigration attorneys told ...us that there was nothing else that they could do for my brother and that he would be deported. So, we decided to look out of state and came across Rebecca's Firm. From day one, she made it clear that the case would be difficult but not impossible. Through constant communication with her via phone, email and text we were able to work together to submit an Appeal to the Board of immigration and we were successful in overturning the judges decision!! Thanks to Rebecca's hard work and dedication my brother has been able to resume his career and continue his life in the United States. THANK YOU!
