Perfect & Magnificent

Rachel, Katherin, and Secia saved our lives and the future of our family. To begin with, let me tell you a bit about what happened: we were forced to seek asylum in the USA, and we turned to bad lawyers who only used us and our problem to take our money, so we had to dismiss those lawyers. Then we... searched for other lawyers, and before we found Rachel and her team, we approached 5 lawyers who demanded huge sums of money or simply refused the case because they claimed it was extremely complex. But when we turned to Rachel and her team, she listened to us and took our case. Rachel and I submitted all the necessary documents in a short time, which the previous lawyer could not do. Throughout the year, Rachel, Katherin, and Secia answered all our questions, helped us when we needed assistance with the case, and they were extremely professional. I can't even express my emotions, but I am immensely glad that I found the perfect lawyer for myself. Before the immigration court, we gathered all the evidence we had and presented it to the judge. We practiced before the court, and finally, we won our case, and we were granted asylum in the USA. We had a complex case with many nuances, but we won the case. I want to say that Rachel, Katherin, and Secia are the people you can rely on; they will help you in difficult times. I cannot describe their professionalism briefly, but they are perfect and magnificent.

Best LGBT immigration lawyer

With Rachel's terrific work I have gotten my Green Card. I had 2 immigration cases with Rachel and the level of preparedness was incredible: impeccable evidence gathering and case assembly, tons of documents. The immigration interview went so well: the officer even said "I don't even know what to ask... you about with the amount of documents submitted!". Rachel will lead your case to the end and she is ready to help 24/7! I highly recommend Rachel for immigration affairs and especially for LGBT immigration: asylum, marriage based, etc. Rachel charges very affordable fees and not one of those lawyers who nickels and dimes you per hour.

Thirteen years in limbo

More than 12 years of struggle with my immigration case I found Rachel Einbund in late November, 2011. After reviewing my very large file created by previous attorneys she found numerous errors and within a week she laid out a plan to overcome these errors. I terminated my previous lawyer and the nex...t morning I was arrested by immigration authorities. My partner immediately called Rachel at 7 AM! Low and behold she answered her phone, spoke with one of the 4 agents and was able to convince them to hold off on the arrest. How many lawyers would answer their cell phone at 7 AM? Rachel filed numerous motions pointing out many errors that my previous lawyers made and errors made by the initial judge. I had never had a work permit. Due to Rachel’s work on my behalf I received my first work permit on February 14, 2012 and more recently my very first Social Security Card arrived March 2, 2012. My asylum case is still pending as well as my DOMA case, both filed by Rachel. For the 1st time in over 12 years I feel such relief. It is possible to sleep through the night without fear of arrest and now I can search for a legal employment position. All Thanks to Rachel Einbund.

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.
