Superb!

My case took 16 years and 3 other lawyers until I found Rebecca and sorted everything out. My case was very complicated but once she got on my case it went from arduous to simple. She is honest, organize, communicative, and genuine. I became a citizen last week and I think that's just the result anyo...ne ever needs to know.

Most helpful and awesome attorney.

If you need a knowledgeable, confident, and amazing immigration attorney you must hire Rebecca. My husband and I hired Rebecca for my green card process and we couldn't have been any happier. Rebecca was very straight forward during our first meeting and laid out all the steps, procedures, what to a...nd not to expect, and answered all our questions with the most patience and professionalism. We needed someone just like her, really direct and who wouldn't sugar coat anything for us. Rebecca was always on top of our process, would always respond to our emails and answer any questions we had at any time. We also had her accompany us during our interview and just having her next to us brought such peace and comfort we went in feeling as relaxed as we could be. Rebecca is really organized and detailed so we were very confident handling all important documents and information. We will definitely hire her again for the 10 year green card process.

An absolutely amazing Immigration Attorney

Rebecca Whiting is probably the best professional I have ever worked with. Over the course of 3 years, she navigated a complex immigration case for my spouse and I. Of course, it took a very long time given all the processes and government agencies involved, but Rebecca handled every step with prec...ision and kept us amazingly informed from Day 1 until the very end. What stands out with Rebecca is her professionalism and attention to detail. Nothing is more important in an immigration case as the smallest detail can change the outcome. There was never a point in my case where I didn't believe we were in the best of hands and that Rebecca was going to handle the situation as if it was for a member of her own family. To say that she's changed our lives is an understatement. Each immigration case is definitely unique, but I wholeheartedly recommend you contact her for your immigration matter. If she says she can help, hire her. I assure you that you'll be very glad you did. Thanks so much Rebecca!

Knowledgeable, Professional, Prompt. I would strongly recommend her services!

My wife and I hired Rebecca Whiting to help us file our marriage based green card. She is extremely knowledgeable and knew exactly how to navigate our specific case. I was here on a student F1 visa and was in the process of completing my OPT when we hired her. She knew the specific restrictions that ...apply to student visas and was extremely thorough while examining details of our case. She is extremely easy to communicate with and is prompt in responding to emails, text messages and phone calls. She sent us concise lists stating the documents we needed to gather at every stage of the process, important dates to remember, changes in the status of our case etc. She told us what we should expect at our interview and answered all our questions. The interview went extremely smooth and she was present with us at the interview with USCIS. Thanks to her attention to detail the entire process was extremely smooth for us from the start. We filed everything in a timely manner and I ended up receiving my green card in about 4 months from the time of filing. I would strongly recommend her service to anyone with immigration needs.

Amazing Immigration Lawyer

Rebecca has been nothing but absolutely phenomenal in helping me through this difficult green card process. She has been completely transparent, honest and helpful throughout. Not only is she is very knowledgable in her field, but she also explained everything to me in a way that I could understand. ...She included me in every step of the process and made me feel respected and taken care of. I highly recommend her to any potential clients. Thank you for everything, Rebecca!
