    - Immigration Client, Ghana
  • Meeting and working with Rachel (and the team) was absolutely one of the best decisions we’ve ever made! What can be a scary and long process was made very easy and comforting with them. Rachel and the team treat you with the utmost respect and care - and their only goal is to meet their client’s needs. For anyone looking for an immigration lawyer that cares and will do their absolute best to get you results, look no further! For anyone we cross paths with inquiring about an immigration lawyer my immediate recommendation will always be Rachel; enough good things cannot be said! Meeting Rachel was a blessing we will never forget. Thank you!

    - Immigration Client, Mexico
  • My husband and I were looking for a lawyer who was trustworthy, personable, and very experienced with the green card process - Rachel was all of the above. From Day 1 she made us feel more at ease with the process with how prepared she was and always being available to answer any of our questions. Once it came time for the interview, she prepped us down to the tiniest detail and we walked in feeling at ease and ready. The interview was a breeze largely because of the solid case Rachel built for us. Highly recommend!

    - Immigration Client, Israel
  • My husband (American) and I (Colombian) wanted to take a moment to express our appreciation to Rachel and her stellar team. Hiring Rachel and her team to navigate what can be a scary and complex process was the best decision we could have made. She and her team are genuine, professional, supportive, caring, and where dedicated throughout their interaction with my husband and I. We engaged her services in February of 2021 and I received my green card on May 2022. A much faster and smother process than we ever expected. I can\'t recommend her services enough.

    - Immigration Client, Colombia
  • Rachel and her team have done everything for us, making this very complicated process, very easy! They have been fast yet thorough. As soon as I met Rachel, I knew I could trust her. She listened to us and our concerns since the first meeting and was able to reassure us.
    The whole team has been a true delight to work with. In the end, My green card got approved and Rachel let me know that if I had any questions I could still contact her. I will definitely work with her and her team again for any paperwork I’ll have to do in the future.
    Thank you Rachel, Sheila and Katherin!

    - Immigration Client, France
  • We met Rachel a few days before our interview and she was immediately helpful, with an effective method. Rachel supported and gave us courage and was able to organize our case flawlessly. During the interview, Rachel was an important and active presence in the room. A wonderful person of great character who knows how to bring your case to its success. The quality of her service is solid. We recommend Rachel to everyone, especially those who are part of minorities and need knowledgeable support for their case.

    - Immigration Client, Italy
  • I could not have asked for better representation than Rachel Einbund, Esq. & her team. From start to finish, they were professional, warm & welcoming, and very available to answer all the questions I had throughout the process. My case was approved in close to record time, and I’m extremely satisfied with their service. I could not recommend them highly enough. Thank you Rachel!

    - Immigration Client, Australia
  • Words cannot fully describe how thankful my husband and I are to Rachel and her amazing team. Rachel is incredibly knowledgeable about the entire green card process and extremely thorough; when the day came, we felt prepared and accomplished for our interview. She and her team are quick to respond and took their time listening to our questions, as my husband and I had very little knowledge of the process and required - what felt like - a lot of support. More than anything, we could tell through every step of the way, just how much Rachel and her team cared about us; our story and how much these steps forward meant in our lives. We look forward to graciously using her services again and hope to always remain in touch as she has become such an integral part of our story as man and wife. 15/10 would recommend!

    —I mean words aren’t enough how thankful we are to Rachel. My Husband and I were fortunate to have her and her team Katherin and Sheila who guided us throughout the process from day 1 to interview up to filing our removal of temporary green card.
    Thank you so much and it is satisfying to be able to give her my highest recommendation. I hope this information proves useful.

    Mabuhay!!

  • I got Rachel\'s law firm contact from a friend that was very satisfied with their services. I can safely say I can\'t recommend this law office enough.

    If needed, we will not hesitate hiring their services again in the future!

  • Rachel and her team were exceptionally good and professional. My case was complicated due to a misrepresentation at consulate in my home country and Rachel drafted a powerful I-601 waiver application which got approved in record 9 months and which resulted in the approval of my Green Card application. She\'s kind, extremely knowledgeable in US immigration law, very tactful. She returned my calls and messages in a timely manner and made me feel I more than just a client. Thank You for the hard work!

She made sure I always had a good idea of what to expect, and what documents evidence to collect to make the application airtight. Every member of Rachel\'s team was always prompt with follow-ups and guidance. She also accompanied us to the interview, and it made the whole experience stress-free and straightforward. Highly recommended.

  • Rachel and her team (Jane and Katherin) are AMAZING. Not only professionals, they are meticulous and committed to you, they want you to have a positive outcome and they will work hard for it.
    After having not good experiences, in the past, with different lawyers they made me reconcile and believe that still there are people passionate about their careers.
    They did go above and beyond details and thanks to them I got my green card.
    I Highly recommend Rachel, Jane and Katherine

    - Immigration Client, Taiwan
  • Rachel is a phenomenal, personable and knowledgeable immigration lawyer. After going through another law firm who absolutely bungled my case took my money with no results. Rachel took my case last minute literally 2 weeks before my Immgration appointment and she helped me because of her my case was approved. I really can’t thank her enough for everything she have helped us with. I highly recommend her law firm.

    - Immigration Client, Gambia
  • Update! My Husband Shinsuke just received his 10 year Green Card after his conditions were removed. Rachel and her team again helped us through the paperwork process for the 2nd go around. I credit our success to her and the Team\'s hard work pulling together the application. Rachel patiently answered all our questions and made the application a seamless process. We did not even need a second interview to get approval. I highly recommend her firm! Thanks again Rachel!

    ---------------------
    Post from 2018...My Husband Shinsuke and I HIGHLY recommend Rachel Einbund as your immigration attorney. Rachel is professional, thorough, kind and personable. She readily communicated with u, lead us through the stressful green card experience and calmed our worries at every step. Rachel guided us through the application process and ensured we were prepared for the interview. Success speaks volumes and we received Shinsuke’s green card this week. Thank you Rachel!!!

    - Immigration Client, Japan
  • Rachel has made my process really smooth and clear to understand in each step.
    She’s incredibly helpful and she makes sure things are done the right way. It was very tough for me in the beginning to understand the way she works and it’s probably a cultural shock and the anxiety of having it all done. Which she has handled it perfectly. I am no savi in legal matters or any immigration law but each question I had she had an answer and answers with base. Always prompt to respond my emails and clarifying any doubt I ever had.
    I did my permanent green card and now I’m looking forward to use her service to start my citizenship application.
    I recommend Rachel and her team for anybody who asks me about it, because we are always looking for someone who we trust when it’s to take care of something this important. It’s valid to say how she doesn’t treat you as another number/client but takes your case as something incredibly important and make sure things are well done.
    Thank you Rachel!

    - Immigration Client, Brazil / Argentina
  • Rachel and her team made an unavoidably challenging process feel as easy as possible. From the moment we first reached out, we were provided with clear and compassionate guidance. Rachel and her team were always easy to reach (by text, email, phone...) and always very timely in their responses. She took extra time to speak with our family members when it was necessary and even provided legal advice unrelated to our case. If you are looking for holistic care in addition to highest quality legal representation (attention to detail, diligence, accountability), than the Law Office of Rachel Einbund is your place!!

    - Immigration Client, Ecuador
  • Highly professional, orderly, and above all compassionate. I’ve been recommending Rachel’s name to family and friends after working with her myself and she didn’t disappoint me once.. she treats everyone like they truly matter & not as another number to a clients’ list. Her team is knowledgeable & very responsive, there’s no insignificant question or information that they won’t do their absolute best to explain.

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!
