WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY
RACHEL EINBUND, Attorney at Law
Rachel Einbund is in the business of changing people’s lives for the better. When New York passed the Marriage Equality Act in 2011, Rachel was inspired to open her own law practice. As an immigration lawyer, she recognized an opportunity to help her community in ways that had not yet been possible. The Law Office of Rachel Einbund specializes in marriage and family-based immigration, and a majority of her clientele are same-sex couples and their families. Within the first year of opening her practice, Rachel was recognized as by both the National Association for Professional Women and GO Magazine for being a leading female entrepreneur in the field of immigration. The National LGBT Bar Association named her one of the nation's Best LGBT Lawyer's Under 40 - Class of 2015! Rachel continues to be acknowledged for her work and was recently named as one of the 10 Best Immigration Lawyers in New York in 2016 and in the Top 40 Immigration Lawyers under 40 in New York.
A graduate of New York University and New York Law School, Rachel celebrates the melting pot mentality employed by the city. While most immigration firms focus on clientele from one region of the world, Rachel revels in working with people from all corners of the globe. Her firm takes on political asylum cases, working to help her clients and their families stay in this country for fear of persecution for living their lives openly in their home countries. She also takes on VAWA cases, helping victims of domestic violence who want to leave their spouses, but not leave the country. She knows the value of religious, political, and personal freedom, as well as the need for freedom of sexual expression and gender identity.
Rachel fought for the repeal of DOMA by way of a marriage based immigration case before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. She is a mentor to law students and holds free DACA workshops to help young people legislate their immigration status. For over a decade she has been a member of AILA, the American Immigration Lawyers Association, whose mission it is to promote justice and fair immigration policy. Rachel received AILA's 2014 Certificate of Achievement as a Pro Bono Guardian for her extensive pro-bono work with minors and special cases. She is a long time supporter of The National Center for Lesbian Rights and an active member of the National LGBT Bar Association as well as its Greater New York chapter. In 2014, Rachel became a Marriage Officiant to further immerse herself in the love, pride, and positivity she promotes. Being a strong female business owner, doing the great humanitarian work she does, Rachel is an inspiration to those in her field as well as her peers.
Katherin D. Umana, Immigration Paralegal
Katherin D. Umana began working at LORE in September 2019. Katherin is a proud alumna of Binghamton University where she graduated magna cum laude with dual majors in Philosophy, Politics, and Law (PPL) and Human Development. During her time at Binghamton, she worked as an advocate for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, providing them guidance and emotional support while navigating through the legal system. Her experience as a crime victims advocate solidified her love for working with VAWA and asylum applicants.
Katherin’s passion for immigration law and human rights was planted as a young child growing up in Honduras. Her relocation to the United States as a young child gives her a unique understanding of the immigrant experience. As an immigrant herself, Ms. Umana understands the complexities of the immigration legal system and the importance of being sensitive to each individual’s unique life story, experiences, and social positions. In the future, Ms. Umana plans to attend law school to become an immigration attorney and hopes to one day return to Honduras to teach English and be a resource to her community there. Outside of the office, you can usually find Katherin in the kitchen trying out new recipes or listening to her favorite crime podcasts!

Secia Umana began her journey at LO-RE as Summer Intern to pursue an international and global work field. She is a SUNY Oswego graduate with a BA in Broadcast and Mass Communication focused on global and international studies. During her time in college, Secia participated in many clubs such as the Latino Student Union and the Pride Alliance Club. She also served as the first ever diversity, equity and inclusion executive board chair member for her sorority Sigma Delta Tau.
Immigration is no new topic to Secia as she is a first-generation Honduran American raised in New York. Although she was not born in Honduras, her family’s migration story to the U.S. is one she is a part of. Secia has always shown interest in helping others so joining the LO-RE team was an easy decision for her.
In her role of legal assistant, Secia works on a vast range of immigration matters including citizenship and marriage cases, adjustment of status and also performs research on legal matters. Secia applies the value of her communication and international studies background in helping clients from all over the globe who face persecution and are in need of resources unknown to them.
In the future she hopes to take what she’s learned from LO-RE and use it to help others all over the world. When Secia’s not in the office she enjoys traveling, being outdoors, working out, and spending time with her family. and community. Joining the team at LO-RE has given Secia a new sense of commitment, dedication and focus to the undocumented community.
