As founding attorney at Elliott Immigration Law LLC, Erin Elliott (Ustaoglu) handles business and family immigration matters throughout the world. Her clients range from international businesses, entrepreneurs and families. She has an Avvo “Superb” rating and is a top-rated attorney in immigration among her peers and clients. She believes that everyone deserves an opportunity; whether that means uniting with family, starting a business, working in the U.S., or becoming a U.S. Citizen.
Before opening her practice, Ms. Elliott represented businesses ranging in size from small startups to Fortune 500 companies in corporate and business law matters. This background gave her unique insight into how difficult it can be for companies to hire temporary foreign workers and motivated her to focus her own legal practice in the area of immigration.
With a Bachelor of Arts from Agnes Scott College, Ms. Elliott attended Loyola Law School, New Orleans where she obtained a Juris Doctor. Currently, she serves on the Chair of the GA-AL Chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. She volunteers her time with KIND (Kids In Need of Defense) and by assisting victims of crimes in the United States.
A talented and knowledgeable speaker, she has presented to the State Bar of Georgia’s Continuing Legal Education forum, the American Immigration Lawyers Association, the Turkish American Cultural Association, and Legal Experts Radio.
