Attorney Spotlight: ✨Lauren Lowry!✨

A summer spent volunteering with elementary school students in one of Lima, Peru’s poorest neighborhoods had a lasting impact on her perspective. The experience helped her recognize the opportunities available in the United States and deepened her understanding of why people may come here not only for a better future, but for their own survival and the well-being of their families.

One of the most meaningful moments in her career is telling a client they have been granted asylum, especially after a long, hard-fought case. For her, the opportunity to change someone’s life is what makes this work so meaningful.

She has also learned an important lesson from her clients: resilience. Despite the challenges they face, their determination to keep moving forward continues to inspire her.

Her advice to those considering a career in immigration law? Although the work can be challenging, especially in today’s climate, it is incredibly important, and we need more advocates fighting for the most vulnerable.

And when she needs a little joy after a difficult day, she turns to Dancing with the Stars, The Traitors, and, of course, time with her beautiful family!

We’re proud to spotlight the people behind our practice and the compassion, dedication, and advocacy they bring to their work every day.

Stay tuned for our next attorney spotlight post to get to know more of the people behind our practice!

✨ Attorney Spotlight: Meg Keiser!✨

Her journey into immigration law began in Walla Walla, Washington, where an internship at a local immigration law office initially gave her the opportunity to practice Spanish. Through working on cases and connecting with the immigrant community, she discovered a passion for helping others navigate the immigration system.

One thing she wishes more people understood? Immigration law is constantly changing. The laws, policies, and procedures can shift significantly depending on the current presidential administration, making it essential to stay informed and adaptable.

One career moment she’ll never forget? Winning her first habeas corpus case in federal court after a long-fought battle. A reminder that perseverance can make all the difference!

Her advice to anyone considering a career in immigration law? It’s rarely easy, but that’s what makes it so rewarding. Being a source of support for someone during one of the most difficult periods of their life is a privilege she’ll never take for granted.

And when a long workday finally comes to an end, her dog, Sully, is always ready to brighten her day with a wagging tail and plenty of excitement!

We’re proud to spotlight the dedicated people behind our practice and the compassion they bring to every case.

📌Key takeaways:

*USCIS is conducting more thorough reviews — not automatic denials, but closer scrutiny

*Documentation matters more than ever: family ties, financial records, good moral character evidence, and hardship documentation

*Proactive prep is key — gather marriage certificates, tax returns, employment records, and support letters early
