Testimonials

“Rachel saved me and my daughter. We fled Lebanon in fear. Because of Rachel‘s dedication and hard work we now have asylum and are protected here in the U.S. She is a wonderful person. May God reward her with good health and prosperity. There should be more people like her, especially among lawyers.”

“Even though she was busy, she made us feel like we were th only clients she had. That is how responsible she was. We cannot let it go by without thanking her for all she has done for us. For the way she represented us in every single court date. To us, she is like a family member and we thank her from the bottom of our heart. By helping deliver my husband, she also delivered an entire family from pain and suffering. She is truly an angel.”

“Rachel got my conditions removed from my green card even though I had gotten divorced. She did such a great job that I went back to her for my citizenship. I thank her from all my heart for her great job. I am now a proud citizen of the U.S.A.”

“Rachel got me my citizenship even though I had a criminal history that made it difficult. Thank you just is not enough! She is the best!”

“Rachel got me my green card after many interviews and many years of waiting. My husband and I had almost lost hope. She fixed it for us and now I have my permanent green card. Thank you! Thank you so, so much!!”

“I hired Rachel to defend me in a domestic relations matter. Through two court hearings Rachel demonstrated that the plaintiff had no case against me and the charges were false. Thanks to her representation, my record remains clean and no restraining order issued against me.”
