Extremely happy client!

My spouse and I worked with Rachel to apply for and obtain my green card. For those of you looking for the bottom line – we highly recommend working with Rachel and found her to be knowledgeable about the law, patient with the uninitiated and compassionate. As for as the legal advice – spot on. ... At our initial meeting, Rachel spent an hour describing the process, timeline, salient considerations and preparatory work that we could start thinking about. That time was free – prior to engaging Rachel, we had walked away with a sheet of paper in her own handwriting outlining the process. Looking at that sheet of paper six months later, with green card in hand, she nailed it! We had some complexities in our case, including a parallel process to correct some erroneous information in my current foreign passport prior to submitting the green card application. Although I engaged local legal assistance within my native country, Rachel was able to provide constructive guidance with respect to processes that would normally fall outside her scope. Finally, I cannot say enough about Rachel’s compassion – she truly cares not only about a successful outcome but also about us as people. Rachel provided calm and stability throughout the process and was as excited as we were with each success/milestone along the way. We were not looking forward to it, truth be told there were parts of the process that we did not particularly enjoy, but now on the other side, we cannot imagine having to do it without Rachel’s guidance.

My case was approved! She is a brilliant and honest attorney!

My DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) was approved for renewal and I received my new Employment Authorization Card today! Rachel Sari Einbund has been extremely helpful in resolving my immigration case. I can confidently say that she is one of the best immigration lawyers in NYC. This w...as my SECOND TIME visiting her office regarding my immigration status. On my first visit (approximately 2 years ago), she helped me get my DACA case to be approved. During this second visit, she helped me with the renewal process because DACA expires every two years. I would say that the she was extremely helpful in making the process move smoothly. Her service fees were extremely reasonable and she was there whenever I needed help. My emails (I preferred using emails) were always answered IMMEDIATELY whenever I had any questions or concerns and I was always made aware of what the next step was in the process and what to expect. If you are looking for an immigration lawyer, you should definitely visit her office. I will always be thankful to Rachel for resolving my immigration case successfully and I will see her again after 2 years when my DACA expires.

Hire Rachel!

Rachel handled my wife's immigration case and it was a long process but through all the uncertainty we were always confident that we were in good hands. She always responded right away even after hours and explained things to us in plain language.

Best lawyer for immigration

After experiencing an unsuccessful outcome with another lawyer, Rachel made my husband and I feel confident in what we could expect from the immigration interview in order to have a successful outcome. To say I was nervous about my husband's interview going well is an understatement after all we wen...t through. Rachel was there for us the whole way through. She made herself available in person, by text, by phone and at any time. From our first meeting she made me feel that everything would turn out all right and it did. Everything went smoothly and she was on top of everything that was needed from us in preparation for the interview. What impressed me the most, and that's when I knew I picked the right lawyer, was when she received her updated copy of her law book, she posted all the things that pertained to our case in the new version. It showed me she was taking time in our case. She cares and plus she is sassy and will fight for you. Today my husband is here with his family. It was a long road and unfortunately it didn't have to be if I had found Rachel from the start. But I eventually did find her (through a referral from a friend) and thank goodness I did.
