Dependable, reliable and explained entire process

I retained my wife wanted to help me fix my papers. It required a waiver and also significant criminal background checks in my native country where I had some pending legal issues. She handled all of the clearances. She not only handled that process without any issues but then we decided to add my c...hildren to the process who were still abroad. She was also able to take care of that process. She was fast, dependable and always took time to explain. I did like the fact that we payed a flat fee and there was no additional hidden fees.

attentive/focused/easy to talk to

I have used her services several times to handle various immigration matters for me and my family. She is easy to talk to and attentive and I like that she does return calls and emails within 48 hours. She also speaks Spanish which is necessary for my parents.

Highly recommended

If you want a one on one experience with a very knowledgeable team, this is it! We had a very difficult case ahead of us and they were able to take care it. I believe they care about their clients and will do whatever it takes. They are honest, down to earth and very professional. I have complete co...nfidence in referring them to all my friends and family.

"I have worked with Rebecca for her entire career and will tell you that there is no one with greater depth of knowledge of our broken immigration system than Rebecca. She is dogged in her determination to help those in the system or subject to the system. If your non citizen client has marital issues, criminal issues, is the victim of domestic violence, if your employer client has employees with immigration issues, or if your citizen has relationship issues with a non-citizen-- call Rebecca before getting into an immigration trap.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
