Marisa is the chair of our new Immigration Law Practice Group. She has over ten years of immigration experience, most recently in private practice. Marisa has been a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association since 1998, where she served as a Director on the National Board of Governors and as President of the New England Chapter, 2005 - 2006.

Marisa's philosophy is to facilitate a client's encounters with the legal system by instilling confidence and bringing peace of mind. Marisa meets the needs of her clients by following through on a promise of diligent and thorough attention to each case from inception to resolution.

"I strive to minimize my clients' stress in all areas of the legal process and endeavor to answer any and all questions until my clients are satisfied that they understand all of the issues in their case. I believe that no question is trivial when it comes to my clients' interests and well-being."

As a law student Marisa attended the Comparative and International Law curriculum at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. Marisa is a member of the Women's Bar Association and completed a semester in Suffolk's Battered Women's Program assisting victims of domestic violence.
