Amazing service! I wish I could give her more stars

Rachel helped my husband and I to go through the process of an adjustment of status for me to obtain my green card. She was very helpful and make sure we understand every step of the process. I would recommend her to a friend!

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.

Review for Rachel Sari Einbund

Rachel has been working on my case for about 8 months. I could not have asked for a better person. Besides her qualifications and excellent work ethics, Rachel has made the process the least stressful possible. Rachel and her team keep me informed of every detail, and she is always there when I have... a question or concern. Highly recommend her services.

Rachel did an outstanding job, far beyond my expectations.

I was very surprised by the amount of dedication and care Rachel has put into my case. I've been working with many attorneys in the past and I've never seen attorney who would get to know my case better that myself.. Rachel done all the necessary research and record retrieval on my behalf and sug...gested very honest answers, and she always choose the most economical path where possible. I was always informed about my case progress, pros and cons. Demonstrated outstanding knowledge of the law, and she even intuitively predicted exact questions I will be asked during my interview with INS considering my situation.

I would strongly recommend Ms. Rachel Einbund to anyone who wants things done correctly the first time.

Ms. Rachel Einbund is very knowledgable and professional, She takes an otherwise painful process and makes it very painless, things went very smooth and like clock work. We used, and are currently using her for all our immigration needs, we couldn`t be any happier with her service and the results we... have received.Having had a complicated immigration case,I consulted with several lawyers who all told us it was unlikely that our case could be won. We even filed once before, with what turned out to be a poor quality lawyer, and were denied. Then, we met with Ms. Rachel Einbund . She was honest, straight forward and informative from the start. During the course of our case, she guided us through every step and was available by phone or email for any question, no matter how small. With her knowledge and resources, Ms. Rachel Einbund helped us prepare a solid case which ultimately reopened/won our permanent residency. We have and will continue to recommend Ms. Rachel Einbund to those in need of a great immigration lawyer. I would strongly recommend Ms. Rachel Einbund to anyone who wants things done correctly the first time.

I trust her completely, well enough to confidently send friends and family to her.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
