PRO
also known as Christine Poarch
Originally from Salem, Virginia, I pursued both my undergraduate and graduate education in the cultural melting pot of Houston, Texas, where I first worked extensively with the immigrant community in domestic violence, health care and literacy initiatives.
I love the complexity and diversity of my clients’ matters, whether it's contesting an unfair orphan determination in an international adoption, defending a nuanced adjustment or naturalization application, or restoring the immigration status of battered women, abused children and victims of crime. In addition to defending individual aliens and families, I work closely with employers and the employment bar to protect businesses from civil and criminal liability during ICE audits and investigations.

No better lawyer for your immigration needs. We had spoke to multiple lawyers that told us it would take 10+ years to get my husband his citizenship. We hired this law firm and it only took 1 1/2 years. We are so thankful and we could not have made it through this process without them!

Great Advice and Assistance in Tricky Situation
Christine consulted with me on a tricky immigration situation that I would not have been able to navigate without her. She is very thorough, thoughtful, and responsive. Would definitely recommend!
"I endorse Christine. She continues to be a valuable resource for an important client in a specialty that requires Christine's level of expertise."
"Absolutely a wonderful, dedicated lawyer I'm proud to have as a colleague and a friend. She almost single-handedly filled a void in legal services in our area and built and manages a firm dedicated to helping people with immigration issues. Not only does she do good work for her clients, but she spends time trying to educate other lawyers and the courts on how other cases can affect immigration status. She is a star."
"Christine is an extremely knowledgeable and competent attorney who cares about her clients and will take every step to ensure they obtain the desired result. I highly recommend her."
"Christine Poarch is an incredibly intelligent and competent attorney. She cares deeply for her clients, the community, and the practice of immigration law. I refer all potential clients hailing from the southwest region of VA her way because I know that they will be in good hands."
