As a first-generation immigrant to the U.S., I have personal experience in navigating the immigration processes. My personal experience as a non-immigrant, immigrant and immigration attorney has helped me guide my clients through their own immigration journeys with empathy and personal understanding. I can identify with the challenges that immigrants face. I understand how important it is to have diligent legal representation while at the same time forming an attorney-client bond based on trust and respect.

My entire legal career has been strictly focused on U.S. immigration and naturalization law. I gained valuable immigration experience from my pro bono work with various local immigration law clinics dealing with everything from straightforward citizenship applications to complex immigration issues such as removal proceedings and asylum.

I began my immigration career while still in law school, working for a large national employment-based immigration firm representing clients in a variety of industries. Prior to joining the Law Office of Leila Freijy, I worked for other Michigan law firms, where I continued to represent clients in a variety of employment and family-based immigration matters. My practice areas include both nonimmigrant and immigrant processes such as H-1B, TN, L-1, E-3, PERM, I-130, I-140, permanent residence processing and citizenship.
