Wow, just wow!

I cannot thank Rachel enough. She is by far one of the best immigration attorney's in the entire country and I've worked with them all! Rachel exceeds the notion of 'going up and beyond' and stops at nothing to ensure you have the strongest and best visa application humanely possible. Not only is her... hard work, integrity and knowledge unmatched, but she generally cares about you as a person and wants your immigration goals to be met just as much as you do. Her passion is contagious and 'no BS' attitude is refreshing in a world that often lacks morale. With Rachel, you never have to worry about being taken advantaged of, quite the contrary (I actually think her fees should be higher) and you can be at complete peace knowing you are in the most trusted and best hands possible. Thank you Rachel for all your hard work on the renewal of my O-1 visa. It was a true gift getting to work with you and I look forward to working with you again on my green card application. Mazel tov- we did it!!

Rachel went the extra mile to get my visa in record time

I met with Rachel in LA on the recommendation of a friend. I liked her straight away, she was easy to talk to and understood my situation. I’m a dancer from London looking for an O1. I kind of let the application drift for a few weeks but then out of the blue got a great job offer shooting in LA. ...I was in a panic - the job offer was ideal as my 2nd deal memo but timing was extremely tight. Rachel thought it was possible - just. She was really good at motivating me to get all the evidence together. Once I sent it to her she was excellent at writing up a brilliant case. She knew exactly what to say and had some fantastic ideas about making the case as strong as possible. She was always available to advise - even with the tricky time difference. She really did everything required and more to get me that visa. It came in record time with just a few hours to spare before I had to get on the plane to LA. I am really grateful to her and would highly recommend her services.

Rachel Wool Review

Rachel was such an exceptional lawyer for my case. She is so on it and is very quick to respond. She made sure my case was 110% complete and strong to ensure that I got an approval.. which I did ( in only 3 weeks ). Thank you Rachel!

Rachel Wool is an excellent immigration expert.

Rachel Wool is a great expert! I have worked with her twice. First time she was helping me as an assistant and second time as a main attorney who were leading all my case. Rachel is very specific to details, highly dedicated and responsible. We have worked on my O-1 visas and both times it took an ex...tremely short period to prepare and obtain all the petition. She won't waste your time and money. She is always connected and ready to give an advice or just talk through any issues and find the solution. She is also very easy to get along with and even with a foreign client she knows how to work! She have done the excellent job and I always will appreciate it. Thank you, Rachel! You are the best.

Client for O-1 Artist Visa

My process to attain my O-1 Artist visa was made easy despite some bumps in the road, by Rachel and her team at DLG. She fought for me till the end and the thing I appreciate the most about her is her generosity, kindness and most of all persistence with my case. I was looking for a lawyer who was do...wn to earth and was easy to speak to so that working together would be pleasant. Rachel is not only both of these things but she is also amazing at her job. I recommend her to everyone. Thank you Rachel!

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.
