I have to recognize and recommend the outstanding service, professionalism, and most importantly, the expertise of Miss Hamade. As a businesses owner myself in Canada, I recognize the differences between excellent and average performance. From my experience with Rehab, she really helped me figure out all my options she did all the work in no time and the follow up in details. The customer focus and services are excellent, her knowledge about immigration is above expectations. She has the work ethic, genuine personal and professional integrity. I highly recommend Miss Hamade.

My Name is Nasser I'm very happy with the service of Attorney Ms Rihab Hamade, she is helpful honest and strait forward her office service cost very low compair to other Lwayers to tell you from my Experience with other lawyers who I had consultations with several of them their main goal is how to suck your blood (money) by scaring you so much to the degree that thry make you feel that you are in deep problems and they can save you and one of the lawyers very famous with an angle face and sweet words but he is the most corrupted Lawyer without mention their names they ask for high price to do the paper work and take advantage of you when they see you in need so you will get the feeling of their hunger for your money from first meeting so DON'T waist your time with other lawyers I swear by GOD that Attorney Rihab Hamade is great Lawyer he gives you the time to talk and explain all your concerns without any rush I advice any one who needs an honest experience attorney to go forward to Attorney Rihab hamade.
