About Nancy
Biography
II practice in the area of immigration law and personal injury. My immigration practice focuses on asylum, family based immigration, removal defense, DACA, and U Visas. My personal injury practice focuses on motor vehicle accidents. I represent individuals and families in the state of Washington. I dedicate a significant part of my practice to representing women and men who have been subjected to abuse. I am a member of the American Immigration Lawyers’ Association (AILA), King County Bar, Washington State Bar, American Bar Association and the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. I work with Northwest Immigrant Rights Project as a pro bono attorney.
Prior to becoming an attorney, I worked for nearly twenty years as a certified paralegal in several prominent Seattle law firms. For the six years before she joined Jim’s firm, she was the office manager of a large insurance company’s in-house law department.
