Yajaira Lujano

Mariah Lujano was born and raised in the Tri-Cities, Washington, by Mexican immigrant parents. Her parents were laborers who were only able to understand and speak Spanish, which heavily influenced Mariah’s childhood and her perspective on the world.

Upon graduation from her undergraduate degree, she was hired as a full-time paralegal for Pat Roach. This position enabled her to see and experience the potential impact if the law were more accessible. She realized that pursuing law would allow her to help remedy some of the struggles of voiceless communities and make meaningful changes. She felt called to the practice and promptly enrolled in law school, and she completed her law degree at Gonzaga University in 2022.

Mariah began practicing law full-time at Roach and Bishop Law Offices upon her matriculation from law school. Beyond any categorized specialty, Mariah enjoys being a bridge that connects people with the law.

Mariah specializes in several areas of law. She has a passion for family law, assisting other families in their legal struggles, aided not only by her education and law expertise, but her years of personal experience navigating the legal system for her family. She practices civil litigation, where she helps two parties solve disputes between one another. Mariah also practices criminal defense law, where she leaves no stone unturned to defend her clients. She persists in analyzing each detail of a case and makes strategic arguments to achieve the desired result.
