Lisa Tehlirian

Senior Attorney

Lisa is a Senior Attorney on our Family & Individual Services team specializing in marriage based green cards, green card sponsorship for family members, waiver of admissibility matters, and citizenship and naturalization matters.  When it comes to the complex maze of legal issues individuals must navigate to achieve their personal immigration goals, Lisa really knows her stuff - in fact, some clients have referred to her as an "encyclopedia of immigration knowledge," which although true, does make her blush a little.  

Our clients also appreciate Lisa's straightforward and professional communication style, and they quickly find that her meticulously-organized and methodical approach to managing each step of their case results in a stress-free immigration experience.

Lisa's father was an immigrant from Armenia, so she intimately understands the challenges her clients face in their own immigration journeys and she takes a deeply personal interest in making sure their American dreams are realized.  In her spare time, Lisa enjoys yoga and traveling to exotic places around the world.
