Ms. Skomra has great depth of experience in family-based immigration, immigration litigation, and the analysis of the immigration consequences of criminal activity.

In 2001, she began assisting pro bono clients with filing self-petitions under the Violence Against Women Act. She continued her pro bono work throughout law school at the University of Washington in Seattle, where she served on the board of the Immigrant Families Advocacy Project.
Ms. Skomra earned her bachelor’s degree in international relations from Mount Holyoke College and her J.D. from the University of Washington School of Law.
