Asylum
Being forced to flee your home is deeply traumatic and seeking asylum in the United States can retraumatize those already in crisis. Megan brings over a decade of experience representing survivors of trauma, torture, and persecution in immigration proceedings with a focus on human rights defenders, the LGBTQ+ community, and women and children at risk. You don’t have to navigate the process alone. We walk beside you every step of the way—building your case, preparing for interviews and hearings, and fighting for the protection you deserve.
Family Unification for Refugees and Asylees
If you are an asylee or refugee you may be eligible to have your family join you in the United States. We specialize in supporting families who may be missing key documents or navigating displacement, helping you understand and pursue the complex processes of reunification, whether your loved ones are in the U.S. or abroad.
Naturalization
Becoming a U.S. citizen is a major milestone, but the naturalization process can feel overwhelming. We support you through every stage, including preparing for the civics and English tests, requesting disability waivers when needed, and ensuring you understand your rights and responsibilities. Megan has extensive experience working with elderly and disabled applicants and knows how to tailor the process to meet your needs.
Marriage Based Immigration
Navigating the immigration system as a couple can feel overwhelming, intrusive, and emotionally taxing. We understand that no two relationships look the same and work to ensure you’re treated with dignity and fairness as you access the protections you deserve. Our goal is simple: to help you and your loved one build your life together without fear of separation.
LGBTQ+
The immigration system too often assumes a one-size-fits-all approach to families, leaving LGBTQ+ people and nontraditional families navigating extra hurdles. Megan has years of experience representing queer and trans individuals and families, and understands how to advocate for clients facing systemic bias. We provide affirming, informed, and strategic representation that respects your identity and your family.
