Amsale Aberra is the founding attorney of Amsale Aberra Law, PLLC. As an immigrant from Ethiopia herself, she is fully aware of the complexities of US immigration laws, and thus, makes every effort to provide exceptional and compassionate service to her clients nationwide. Amsale worked with the United Nations High Commissioner for refugees, Johns Hopkins University and North West Immigrants’ Rights Project to assist clients in their asylum based application, family-based immigration petition, and waiver of inadmissibility. Amsale holds a law degree from Haramaya University, a Master of Arts degree from the United Nations Mandated University in Costa Rica, and a Master of Laws degree from University of Washington in Seattle. Amsale's specialization in international law, and the fact that she lived, studied, and traveled to over five continents help her understand the cultural and political dynamics of her clients' case, and to successfully represent them in a wide array of immigration laws.
