Details
The founder and managing attorney of The Pinjuh Law Firm, LLC, in Independence, Ohio, Lori A. Pinjuh serves clients across the U.S., assisting them with various immigration law matters such as:
- Employment petitions
- Labor certification (PERM)
- Nonimmigrant and immigrant visas
- Inadmissibility waivers
- Family petitions
- Adjustment of status
- Citizenship and passport determination
- Asylum applications
- Naturalization
Obtaining a B.S. in psychology from Vanderbilt University in 1992, Ms. Pinjuh went on to earn her law degree from the Syracuse University College of Law in 1996. During law school, she was elected to be a part of The Order of Barristers and was the recipient of the LFE Goldie Memorial Award for international legal interests. She was also honored with the Robert W. Miller award as a member of the Moot Court Board. In 1997, she was admitted to practice in Maryland, and later in Ohio (1999); her practice is limited to immigration law.
Prior to establishing her own practice in 2012, Ms. Pinjuh gained advanced knowledge in immigration and citizenship laws at a boutique immigration firm near D.C., and later 15 years of service at a well-known immigration law firm in Ohio. Helping clients navigate several areas of immigration law, she offers legal services for special immigrant visas, entrepreneurial petitions, and nonimmigrant and immigrant visas for both skilled and unskilled positions. She has represented numerous clients throughout the U.S. and many more in consular processing NIV and IV applications outside of the U.S. She also has more than 25 years in providing legal advice for lawful permanent residents to prepare naturalization applications and finding U.S. citizenship for those unusual cases who need assistance to find their own immigration or natural birth history.
Named among The Best Lawyers in America, Ms. Pinjuh is a seasoned attorney who is detail oriented and efficient in handling every case she comes across. Her admirable work ethic and professional skill sets have earned her a notable reputation within the legal community. She holds a 10 out of 10 rating on Avvo, in addition to nearly all five-star reviews from clients and endorsements from fellow lawyers.
Ms. Pinjuh maintains her relationships with the legal circle through her memberships with the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) and the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association. She has also presented and lectured on various immigration law topics at the Federal Bar Association, the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association, AILA events and the SHRM Global Forum.
Outside of her law practice, Ms. Pinjuh volunteers at The Legal Aid Society for the pro-bono immigration legal services program, and she also contributes to MDA fundraisers, the AILA Ohio Citizenship Day and the Battered Women’s shelters.
