Top flight immigration attorney!

My wife and I were left in the dark about where her adult son's resident visa application stood. Shelley was very reassuring that we could get our senator's office involved and find out what the hold up was after waiting a year after the final interview and no decision rendered. The Hecht teamed ju...mped on it, found out immediately what the issue was and got it resolved. And now a couple of months later my wife's son is finally here! Shelley was great and was always available to answer our questions, as well as her son's questions. We highly recommend the Hecht team for anybody looking for an immigration lawyer.

Brilliant Lawyers

Shelley and Raquel assisted me and my husband from the beginning of our immigration journey, when we applied for our K1 fiancé visa, right through to my citizenship application. They were absolutely brilliant through every step, and were always there to answer any of our questions. I couldn't speak m...ore highly of them all and would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat, they are a really wonderful team.

An attorney that truly cares!

Not only is she very professional and knowledgeable in her area of law, she is also very caring. That's hard to find in many attorneys. I went to her to bring my husband to the US and she and her team of assistants were always there for me every step of the way. I never felt alone or in the dark abou...t things. Honestly, if you're looking for a law firm that takes good care of your immigration matter, look no further.

A Great Immigration Attorney in Oregon

I sought Raquel Hecht services for a very difficult immigration issue in 2014. Honestly, words are not strong enough to say how much I appreciate her integrity, professionalism and humanism. She was very good with feedback and treated me with respect. She was proactive in reaching out to me and was v...ery accessible to me when I had questions or needed advices while my request was being processed. I strongly recommend her service if you need help with immigration issues.

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.
