Elinor K Tesfamariam

I’m so proud of her and I do recommend her for anyone who needs an immigration lawyer around DMV area. She really knows what she is doing. Few years back, my case was referred to an immigration court for a very trivial reason and I have been wondering what my fate would be during my individual hearin...g if I face a government attorney or judge who is not that much reasonable. During that long-awaited frustration time, she was so composed and more than 100% sure that we would win our case. Apart from what she did as my lawyer, she was advising me to wait for my case patiently while answering tons of questions that I’ve been asking as a panicking client. I would like to mention one simple example that can vividly show how she was cautions in organizing my documents like the declarations, affidavits, d/t pictures and also representing me. As any client who has a good understanding of how the individual hearing works, I was expecting my hearing to take between three to four hours. As the hearing started, the judge asked my lawyer and the government attorney to have 5 mins in separate meeting/chat room and discuss so that whether the government attorney had anything to say regarding my case or not. I had the chance to join that meeting and watched my lawyer articulating how my case was referred to the immigration court without a solid reason. The government attorney was convinced with my lawyer’s justification. I wish I clapped for my lawyer at that moment but kept quite as if nothing has happened. Then we joined the main hearing session again with the judge saying she was so surprised why even such a well-organized and convincing asylum case was referred from the immigration office to the court. Then the judge added by saying that she checked every content of the two declarations line by line and, she checked the pictures my lawyer filed which I took while I was abroad. So, with a surprising tone, she repeated the same question that she asked few minutes back “Why this case is refereed in the first place, all those pictures and the dates they were taken align with the story in the declaration without a single inconsistency?”. It’s that time where my lawyer stepped in and clarified in detail why the immigration officer referred my case to the immigration court without even having a single inconsistent statement from me when I was asked by the officer or from the documents that I submitted. So, while I was thinking what the question-and-answer session would look like between my lawyer and I and also between the government attorney and I, the judge forwarded her question to the government attorney asking her whether she has any question regarding the files she received and also whether she has an interest to dig further with this application by asking questions. Miraculously she said she was fine with the justification that was given by my lawyer, and she didn’t see any inconsistency with the document she received that leads to further questions. Just like the judge she added that she doesn’t understand why this case was referred to the immigration court. And at that specific moment, I understood that I had the best lawyer in town who knows what she’s doing starting from documenting properly, convincing government attorney and the judges. So, the judge granted my asylum case within 25mins while I was expecting it to take between 3-4 hours. Before winding up my review, I would like to thank her assistant Ayda who relentlessly responded to my questions and helped me schedule meetings with my lawyer Elinor K Tesfamariam (whom I call BOSS).

Before I moved to the states I did not know what normal life and safety meant for me. I had been tortured and persecuted in my country due to my affiliation to a social group. the amount of hate and violence led me to seek refuge and I acquired a one year visa to the states. I later heard of Attorney... Elinor through word of mouth and I consulted her. I submitted my declaration through her guidance and my interview with immigration was scheduled. shortly I was appeared and stated my case and in a few months I was approved for Asylum.
