About Layla
Biography
I am the founder and principal attorney of Khamoushian Law Group, a boutique immigration law firm based in Los Angeles, California. I represent individuals, families, entrepreneurs, professionals, and businesses in a wide range of immigration matters, including family-based immigration, employment visas, asylum and naturalization.
As an immigrant, I understand firsthand the challenges, sacrifices, and opportunities that often accompany the immigration journey. That perspective has shaped my commitment to providing compassionate, practical, and effective legal representation to every client I serve.
I founded my law firm with the goal of offering personalized, hands-on representation and clear communication throughout the immigration process. Whether helping families reunite, guiding businesses through complex immigration matters, or advocating for individuals seeking protection in the United States, I and my team are dedicated to helping our clients achieve their goals and build secure futures.
Advocacy you can trust—strategic, responsive, and deeply personal. We don’t just handle cases; we protect your rights, amplify your voice, and guide you with clarity through every step of your immigration journey.
