Rebecca has now successfully helped three of my family members obtain status! Working with her is delightful! She is knowledgeable, clear with instructions, and always attentive to questions. I highly recommend her!

We Absolutely Recommend Rebecca M. Whiting

Rebecca was recommended to us and thankfully, we hired her. From our first interaction in March to the assignment of Oath Ceremony, Rebecca was on top of the entire Citizenship process. She handled all the paperwork, answered all our questions and made sure I was thoroughly prepared for my interview.... It truly gave me peace of mind to have such a competent, professional yet approachable attorney handling my Citizenship case.

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!

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.

Excellent Immigration Lawyer

Rebecca Whiting was an excellent immigration lawyer. I hired her a year and a half before my immigration papers came through, and she guided me through all the final process. I was living in Colombia, South America, and Rebecca was able to keep constant contact with me, helping me feel reassured and ...safe the whole time. She kept me and my family updated on the status, and explained every step very thoroughly. She is very organized, and answered my questions and doubts very prompt. And when I didn't understand certain papers or steps that I had to take, she would go over the instructions and process as many times as necessary for me to feel that I comprehended everything. She was very supportive and even when I made mistakes during certain parts of the process she was very quick to correct them. I appreciated her patience with me and my family, especially when we didn't understand and had to constantly ask her to explain things over and over again, even if they were very clear. I feel like I couldn't have had a better lawyer for my needs, and I definitely will hire her again for my family.
