also known as Melody R. Poole, Melody Poole
With a lineage of family settling in the United States of America over several generations, under many variants of US immigration law, and by all manner of visa pathways, I commit to helping my clients with their own journey to the US, whether seeking opportunity or reuniting with loved ones, a temporary journey or a permanent relocation.
I earned my JD and Texas bar admission in 2008, and immediately dove into a diverse caseload at Lone Star Legal Aid, the 3rd largest free legal aid provider in the US. In 2014, I drew on my UHLC clinical training in founding Poole Law Center.
In addition to helping clients navigate complex immigration laws, I am passionate about enriching the law as a profession. As a Director on the State Bar of Texas Immigration and Nationality Law Section, I enjoy serving with an amazingly dedicated and talented group of immigration attorneys and collaborating with other sections to provide programming and resources for the advancement of the profession.
As Chair of the Texas Supreme Court’s Grievance Oversight Committee, I am privileged to work with a diverse group of attorneys and public members to meet with stakeholders all across the state reviewing the Texas attorney discipline system.
As a member of the Alvin Community College Advisory Board, I enjoy endless inspiration from fellow board members and students alike of the dedication and vision that transformation and growth require.
I am a Fellow of the Texas Bar Foundation and Texas Bar College. I previously served in multiple roles for the Galveston County Young Lawyers, Galveston County Bar Association, and on a District Grievance Committee. Locally, I serve in my daughter’s school, our church, and community. When not working or volunteering, you can find me with my family - likely on or near the water.

Exceptional lawyer that utilizes all tools available to help
Melody was not our attorney. We had some questions that our attorney was not answering where he was giving us the run around “nothing we can do” or “this is the way it is with USCIS”. We went to Melody for help and she took our questions and used all tools available to her (other clients, colleagu...

I would not be living my dreams if it weren’t for Melody
Melody was a god send when I was looking to obtain my residency here in the US after being on a student visa for a number of years. The ins and outs of the USCIS forms and interviews were daunting and at times very nerve wracking. Melody went above and beyond to help us prepare and ensure we were doi...
