About Katrina
Biography
Hi, I’m Katrina Zafiro. I was born and raised in the Philippines until my family immigrated to California in the early 1990s. While living in the Bay Area, I worked as an educator for the Oak Grove School District, the Eastside High School Union School District and the University of California-Santa Cruz. I worked with Sony as a linguist helping to develop voice recognition software. I also worked as a volunteer and educator for several nonprofit organizations, including Catholic Charities and the Indo-Chinese Resettlement and Community Center where I worked with refugees and immigrants. These roles helped me realize that I wanted to help people and make a positive difference in their futures.
When I visited Seattle, I immediately fell in love with the city’s vibrancy, enthusiasm, and diverse multicultural population. I already knew that I wanted to be an attorney dedicated to family and immigration law, so I enrolled in the University of Washington School of Law.
While in law school, I worked as a legal intern in the Family Law Unit of Columbia Legal Services and the Self-Help Plus Program of the King County Bar Association. I also volunteered for the Northwest Justice Project and the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project.
Prior to starting my own firm, I worked for two prominent law firms in the Puget Sound Area in the areas of complex business litigation and class action lawsuits. Then—less than two years after earning my law degree from the University of Washington School of Law—I realized a dream by opening my own practice dedicated exclusively to immigration and family law.
Being a sole practitioner, I enjoy the rare opportunity to get to know my clients and meet their needs.
As an immigrant, I am deeply committed to helping immigrants navigate the complex U.S. legal system. My dedication to family law has guided me to serve as a volunteer teacher on divorce law at the King County Courthouse.

Katrina Soriano Zafiro's Lawyer Endorsements
"Katrina and I met while working on a contested case. She was professional, knowledgable, and dedicated to achieving her client's goals. I highly endorse her and her work."
"Katrina represented an opposing party in a difficult family law matter. She was hard working, competent, and professional. I endorse her work in both family law as well as immigration law."
"Katrina is a great attorney. She is very knowledgeable and cares about her clients. I would not hesitate to recommend her for legal representation."
"Katrina is a fantastic attorney. She is competent and easy to work with. I practice exclusively family law and whenever I have an immigration issue arise, I am happy to refer the case to her. I highly recommend her."
"I have known Katrina for around 13 years, and as a lawyer for 9 of these. Katrina has an in-depth, detailed knowledge of her practice areas, and has the utmost integrity. I refer clients to her without hesitation."
"Katrina is an excellent lawyer. I've known Katrina for several years and have referred both immigration and family clients to her, and they have all been very happy with her work. For several years, Katrina and I have also been members of a family law consulting group, lawyers who get together to discuss (without names) family law cases, solutions, and strategies. Katrina has always been a stellar contributor to this group, and is highly valued by her colleagues. I endorse Katrina wholeheartedly and will continue to refer cases to her."
"I have been a mediator on three cases now where Katrina was an attorney representing one of the parties involved. She produces some of the most thorough materials I get as a mediator and it speaks volumes about how well prepared she is for trial. This level of preparation conveys to the other side what they are in for if they do not settle, and thus she is a tough negotiator. Katrina treats her clients extremely well, and is always professional in her demeanor, which is an asset in family law proceedings, where emotions can often ruin a case's chances of being successfully mediated without having to go to trial. Thus I endorse Katrina without reservation."
"I have referred a few clients to Katrina and she has done an excellent job helping them with their immigration problems. They have all been appreciative of her help. And she is a knowledgeable attorney."
"Katrina and I have worked together on several legal issues. She is professional and hard-working. I truly value Katrina's insight and depth of knowledge."
