So Grateful to Rebecca Kitson Law Office!

Ms. Kitson and her staff were our guardian angels throughout thr immigration process! We came to her with so many questions and concerns about getting a greencard for my husband and she and her staff not only answered all of our questions but also took over the burden of the confusing paperwork and c...orrespondence with USCIS. Ms. Kitson even accompanied us at the USCIS interview and ensured we were treated respectfully and fairly. We came to her office in December and had my husbands greencard in hand just one month later! I am so glad we found the Rebecca Kitson Law office!

Para que seguir buscando

Nosotros contratamos a Rebecca hace algunos meses. Mi marido perdio su residencia y no estabamos seguros si aplicar por la residencia o de una vez la cuidadania. Cuando mi marido hablo con Rebecca (que por cierto habla perfecto el español!), ella le explico cada detalle, paso a paso por cual le ayud...o a mi marido tomar una decision. Ya mi marido es cuidadano, gracias a Dios y al gran bufete de abogados de RKL. Estamos muy agradecidos con el buen trabajo, amabilidad, dedicacion y profesionalismo de todo este equipo.

Dios es bueno

Mi hija escucho sobre la abogada Rebecca, consultamos con ella y la contratamos. Mi hermana quien es de edad avanzada ha vivido en EE.UU desde niña, pero hace 6 años atras fue deportada. Al momento de deportacion ella y sus dos hijos contrataron varios abogados, tristemente el trabajo no avanzaba per...o porque decian que era normal la tardanza ya que no se podia hacer mucho por lo complejo del caso. Cuando contratamos a Rebecca, Amanda una de las paralegales nos asistio. Para no hacer la historia tan larga, lo que los otro abogados en 6 años no lograron, Rebecca y Amanda lo hicieron en tan solo 4 meses. Estamos muy agradecidos con ellas porque nos demostaron que si les importamos y que si pelean por el pueblo latino.

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.
