barbara marcouiller

I am writing this review because I would like to impart onto others about the good will of Barbara Marcouiller. Upon my arrival to this country I sought out and received help from Barbara with immigration issues that I encountered. When we met I explained my situation, which had left me in need of as...ylum in my present location of Seattle. Barbara was most helpful as she did her best with comprehending due to the language barrier. She managed to build a rather case for my asylum, and when the time came for our court hearing the judge ruled in our favor. This came a great benefit because I was in a difficult position with no job or financial stability. I was so grateful for all the support that she’d given me, and to my friend as well.

"Barb is thorough and careful and also quietly charming. Kindness is not that common amongst lawyers and her kindness helps to get cases completed. Barb is firm when she has to be firm but she knows intuitively when tact will secure a better outcome than confrontation. I would recommend her strongly on any immigration issue."

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
