Amazing Experience

Attorney Ral is not only thorough but she genuinely cares for her clients and works tirelessly to see that your case gets approved! She took on my mums case and cared about it like it was her own. The case took a little longer than expected but through the worry and uncertainty she kept us at ease. S...he persistently followed up with USCIS demanding answers! We waited so long that my mum's work permit expired and we were being asked to pay another fee to get a new one but Ral called USCIS and advocated for us and a new one was sent out without having to pay another fee! I am Happy to say that the green card was approved and we owe all thanks to Ral. She is committed, accommodating and pays great attention to detail. She created a custom checklist for us in other to make sure she put together rock solid application. The application was so solid that we were only asked 3 questions during the USCIS interview. We are just impressed beyond words and will definitely refer clients to her. If you are on the fence and don't know if you want to hire her, do yourself a favor and HIRE her! You wont regret it.

Very Dependable and Dedicated Attorney

Ms. Ral represented me during my naturalization process. She is very professional and pays attention to details. She thinks outside the box and very quick to explore best options to address unforeseen circumstances. Ral takes pride in her profession and she goes above and beyond to ensure no stone i...s left unturned. After my interview, she immediately followed up with the additional documents that were requested. She personally made research in the city I live in and gave me vital information on how to get the required documents. She was prompt to respond to USCIS as soon as the documents became available. When my N-400 approval was taking a little longer than expected, she never panicked. Ral continuously assured me that everything will come out fine and eventually it did. Many thanks for her devotion and dedication throughout the entire period my case lasted. I am very glad to have chosen Ral as my attorney and highly recommend her to anyone that needs a dependable attorney for immigration purposes.

Permanent residency.

Ral is extremely detail oriented, follow her lead and you will have no issues. She handled my case with constant and effective communication. Kept me in the loop on everything that she was doing and was realistic with me when we set expectations. I got my permanent green card in the middle of a divor...ce with no issues.

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.
