She went on to provide assistance on asylum cases at the Lawyers Committee for Human Rights, supported advocacy efforts at International Justice Mission related to human trafficking, and led a team of caseworkers in prosecuting cases of human trafficking in India.

During her time in law school, she gained practical, hands-on experience working at the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington D.C., and the Fairfax County Public Defender's Office. Upon graduation, she clerked at the Prince William County Circuit Court in Virginia drafting judicial opinions and preparing bench memoranda for cases on the Chief Judge’s civil and criminal dockets. In 2009, she joined U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement where she litigated thousands of immigration proceedings across the country and advised law enforcement clients on legislative proposals, criminal investigations, and humanitarian issues. Since 2015, she has worked as a consultant for Covenant Capital Holdings, LLC overseeing a real estate investment portfolio and advising on business and litigation matters.

With her experience in multiple areas of the law, Elizabeth can provide compassionate representation for clients and ensure that their legal needs are addressed.

"Elizabeth was my legal advisor on an important and life changing case. I engaged Elizabeth because she came highly recommended and because she had an impressive track record from working with thousands of cases. She had unique insight to how the government handled cases similar to mine. After engaging her, Elizabeth’s expertise was readily apparent. She had a commanding understanding of both the law and prior legal cases that could be used to help me with my case. Elizabeth is incredibly smart and very diligent. She identified unique insights that dramatically helped my case that other attorneys may have missed. Her professional and legal competence was only exceeded by her personal compassion."

"Elizabeth helped me with my husband’s immigration filing. The USCIS made an error in his case, but she was able to help us get his file back on track. She sorted through the many laws and legal procedures in a timely fashion where we would have otherwise been at a loss. I cannot recommend her enough!"
