Odette is a kind, helpful lawyer to have during difficult situations. She is especially helpful if you have to deal with more than one culture. She helped me through a challenging case with direction and warmth. She is especially helpful with those who can not afford the high retainer fees associated with most lawyers. She understands that finances can be difficult during these times. I would definitely recommend her. More...

I’m so thankful for Odette Rwigamba and her amazing work. She helped me during a very stressful time and worked hard to help me get custody of my children. Odette was kind, understanding, and always professional. Her fees were reasonable, and her team was also supportive and easy to work with. I had a lawyer before who wasn’t helpful at all, but Odette truly made a difference. I highly recommend her to anyone going through family court. More...

Odette and Team were incredible to work with. The team is professional, personable, understanding, and supportive. Communication was always prompt and responsive to requests. The team would make things clear and informative when I was not fully understanding of proceedings. Given the subtle and emotional nature of my proceedings they were calm and caring with their approach. The team would always make you very aware of steps and next steps, what is or could be expected., and always looked out for you. I would highly recommend Odette and her team to anyone. More...

I had an incredibly positive experience working with the team at Odette Rwigamba. They handled a very complex asylum case for me with the utmost professionalism and expertise. From the moment I first contacted them, the attorneys were compassionate, responsive, and committed to understanding the details of my situation. They quickly got up to speed on the nuances of my case and developed a tailored legal strategy to give me the best chance of success. Throughout the process, the team was proactive in keeping me informed and addressing any questions or concerns I had. They navigated the complexities of the immigration system skilfully, anticipating challenges and taking a pragmatic approach to overcome them. Ultimately, Odette Rwigamba was able to secure a successful outcome for my asylum claim. I am deeply grateful for their hard work and dedication. They went above and beyond to ensure I had the legal support I needed during an extremely stressful and uncertain time. I give Odette Rwigamba my highest possible recommendation. If you are facing a complex immigration issue, I can say with full confidence that they will provide you with exceptional representation. Their expertise, compassion, and commitment to their clients is truly unparalleled. More...

I highly recommend. The service received was outstanding. I required a separation title transfer and the previous co-owner was a little hard to deal with. They took care of everything and were very responsive and helpful throughout the whole process. I did not receive any of the issues noted in the negative reviews. 10/10 Service. More...

I wasn't going to leave a bad review, but I just saw the response asking me to.I went with a friend of mine to a consultation (she was the client). Odette Rwigamba was hours late, and they did not come to inform us at any point even though we were 3 steps away in the tiny office. After long wait and probing the receptionist we were told that she hadn't yet left her house and then later that it's because she was stuck in traffic. Conflicting information... I felt bad for the receptionist having to make up lies.If you cannot be on time for a 10am appointment and are hours late, at least inform your clients who won't take time off from work.We left without being seen... So I cannot comment on her competences, only her professionalism. More...

Odette was my lawyer when I was going through my divorce 2 years ago. I had gone through two different lawyers before I had gone to Odette. The first meeting with her was a real eye opener for me as I found a caring professional that had my best interest. There was a time when a big issue had came into my divorce and I was very devastated. I sent her an email about the issue after her offices hours and received an email from her at 11 pm assuring me that the problem would be dealt with. She had a court case the following day and had another lawyer look into my issue and was in contact with me throughout the day until Odette had returned back from her court case. I always felt safe and protected when I would visit her office. I would recommended Odette 100%! More...

Alejandra Ruiz
A very difficult separation, I had four years with another lawyer, very expensive and at the end he did not want to represent me in court unless I gave him a retainer for a hundred thousand dollars, I did not have that amount and the court appearance was set for January, very stressed I started to look for another lawyer, they did not want to take my case since it was complicated and Christmas was just around the corner, a friend of mine recommended Ms. Odette Rwigamba and she saw me, after I explainned her my case she said, I will represent you and that’s exactly what she did, she sacrificed her holidays and family time to prepare my case and she got me a fair deal to compensate for so many years of marriage, for staying at home looking after my children and working for a family without persuing my profession. I will always remain very thankful to this excellent, caring and professional lawyer, thanks to her I will be able to live a decent life in my senior years without being a burden to my children or to society.

Very negative experience. We sought real estate services from this lawyer, and she:- re-scheduled our appointment multiple times; - was roughly 40 mins late for it anyways;- has an assistant who missed multiple phone calls and did not return emails on several occasions;- had to constantly be chased around for a simple follow-up that dragged on for weeks and was ultimately not resolved before we chose to look for another lawyer;- left us a bill that was heftier than we expected.

Once upon a time, Odette represented me in a family law matter. She not only achieved the best possible outcome for me and my children, she shined the brightest the light to our future. My children and I are forever grateful to her. She is extraordinarily hardworking and diligent about every client matter. She mentored me into becoming a licensed paralegal and I mirror her ethics in my practice today. No words to emphasize her devotion to her clients. I’d rate her 10 star ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ More...

I was given superb advice and felt in good hands with Odette the minute we communicated. Odette was so accommodating in that I sought her services at the last minute and she agreed to work late for days to ensure that my case was ready on time. I received a very successful outcome and I would trust Odette and her team with any legal matter that they agree to help with! More...

I received more information on how best to handle my case in one hour consultation that I had with Ms. Rwigamba than any other lawyer I had met prior to meeting her. She gave me concise but detailed suggestions that allowed me to settle my case with great results, and I cannot thank her more. She was approachable and patient with me, and she treated all my questions seriously and allowed me to explore reasonable options and referred me to other services in the community as I was not able to afford to have her firm work for me on my case. Both Mr. Rwigamba and her assistants responded very quickly to all my inquires and made sure that I did not miss any deadlines even though I was not her client, and was only their for a consultation. I strongly recommend this firm. More...
