You're in the right place if you are looking for affordable, professional, and excellent legal services!
I am a dedicated attorney zealously representing clients in family law, immigration, and business matters throughout San Diego County and immigration matters in all 50 states. Before immigrating to the U.S., I practiced as an attorney specializing in insurance and business litigation and also served as an assistant judge at the Federal High Court of Ethiopia.
Upon moving to the U.S., I continued to pursue my legal career, earning my J.D. with honors from Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego in 2014. In addition to my degree, I received a Certificate in Social Justice in recognition of my contributions and commitment to serving my local community during law school.
After passing the California Bar Exam on my first attempt, I established my solo practice, where I have helped numerous immigrants from Ethiopia, Eritrea, Kenya, and West Africa in their pursuit of the American dream. My work in family law is driven by a deep passion for helping families navigate difficult and emotionally challenging times.
I assist clients in all U.S. states with a wide range of immigration matters, including:
✔ Removal Defense & Asylum
✔ Family-Based Immigration (Green Cards & Fiancé Visas)
✔ Employment-Based Visas and Adjustment of Status
✔ Naturalization & U.S. Citizenship
Why Choose Me?
My motto is simple: Every client is important and deserves personalized attention. When you work with me, you receive not only expert legal representation but also the dedication and support you deserve.

Skilled, Knowledgeable and Understanding
Abby was a great asset during my dissolution efforts. She proved to be very knowledgeable, and was willing to answer my questions in a straight forward and clear style.
