Rama began developing her deep understanding of the interplay between family and immigration law long before she joined the firm. During law school, she performed pro bono legal services for underprivileged clients as an Immigration Clinic Rule 16 Student Attorney. Rama also spends her spare time as a volunteer for the Maryland Immigrant Rights Coalition. These unique real world and courtroom experiences enable her to help clients overcome the numerous immigration challenges that frequently arise during divorce proceedings, custody disputes and other highly-emotional family law matters.
Clients often walk through Rama’s door feeling defeated or overlooked by the legal system. They immediately find that she is a dedicated advocate, counselor and litigator who will go above and beyond to ensure their rights are enforced and protected to the maximum extent allowable under the law. She empathizes with her clients during emotional, overwhelming times but also never sugar coats the reality of a situation or the consequences of a particular course of action, especially when it involves significant financial issues. Rama is fluent in Arabic and conversational in Spanish which enables her to serve an extremely broad base of clients who need assistance with family law and immigration matters.
