Rachel's the GOAT

If you're reading this, hire Rachel. Hands down, the best immigration lawyer I've ever worked with. She knows the law inside and out, super easy to talk to, and gets results. After a negative experience I had with a popular agency, I was left with an RFE (Request for Evidence) for my O1 visa renewal.... Rachel stepped in, addressed all my concerns, and answered all my questions. A few months later with her help, my application was approved and I'm back to working in the USA. If you're seeking an O1 visa or any immigration-related assistance, I recommend Rachel without hesitation.

Super Lawyer

From the moment we had our phone consultation with Rachel, we knew she was who we wanted to hire to help our young daughter with her Artist Visa. Rachel was extremely knowledgeable about the entire visa process, very organized and thorough and helped keep us on track and on time. Ultimately, our case... was successful and we can't thank Rachel enough! We would highly recommend Rachel to anyone, even those with very difficult cases!

O1 Approved

I can't Thank Rachel enough. The O1 process is very complicated and overwhelming, having someone like Rachel on your side is exactly what you need. Rachel was very patient and walked me through the process step by step. She responses quickly, a great communicator and very honest. Rachel took on a co...mplicated case and worked with me to put the best case forward, which to my surprise got approved. After working with an different very agency I didn't think I was going to be able to get the visa. I am very Thankful Rachel was recommended to me from a friend(who also received her O1 visa) and I would definitely recommend Rachel to anyone who is looking at applying for a O1 visa.

I never thought I'd make it, but Rachel made it possible!!

Rachel is an EXCELLENT lawyer. She is honest and straight forward and honestly, after such bad experiences with scams and lawyers that did not care for more than the money, she is EXACTLY what I needed. My O-1 visa had been denied with my previous lawyer, they did a horrendous job at trying to get me... the visa and refused to communicate with me transparently. After my visa got denied, a good friend Lucy told me to talk to Rachel, who I had met before. Rachel was straight up honest with me and my possibilities. She explained the risks of my case after the previous lawyer had butchered my case in front of the USCIS. And she was clear with me from the beginning. Against all odds she took my case and worked hard thru it. It took me a year to get what I needed due to third parties making false promises. But we did it, and Rachel was always honest with me. The things I appreciate the most? Rachel is always 3 steps ahead, she is always thinking of the future and possible scenarios. She has been thru this so many times that she knows exactly what the USCIS require from us. She is simply EXCELLENT! Another thing is that Rachel had constant communication with me, she was only a text away all the time. I did pay for the package that would allow me constant communication and it is absolutely true! She would reply to my late and early texts and would be super clear on what was needed. After having lawyers that would refuse to communicate with me, her constant communication was just STELLAR! I was denied and told to leave the US in less than 30 days, I had a life there for 8 and a half years when I got denied and had to leave everything behind, this was the toughest thing I have every lived thru, and I thought I had no chance what so ever. Rachel made is possible for me to come back to what I consider my home and continue to grow as an artist. It is thanks to her that I am able to come back to the US. There is absolutely NO ONE like her... period. I honestly have to tell anyone that's wanting to go thru this process, what you need is someone to be honest with you, not someone that's gonna sugar coat things or tell you you can fake your way thru it, you need HONESTY, and Rachel is exactly that. She is a BEAST LAWYER and I could not recommend her more. If I could give her 100 stars I would no doubt.

  • 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.
