Services
Immigra is the online presence for the law office of Lisa M. Jacobs. My professional concentration is U.S. immigration and nationality law. I offer friendly, attentive and personalized service and strive to develop excellent, professional relationships with clients. 25 years of experience in immigration law, combined with many years of living abroad have given me an excellent foundation to work with people making important life moves. I offer comprehensive business and family immigration services, but I have a particular expertise and high level of success across many hundreds of cases for people who are the top talent in their fields. I work with clients and consult with law firms from across the United States and abroad.

I have been practicing immigration law since 1995, serving clients nationally and internationally in this US federal area of practice. Before launching my own office in 1998 I was affiliated with a mid-sized immigration firm in Philadelphia. I am admitted to the bars of Massachusetts and Pennsylvania and am a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. I earned a J.D. from Temple University School of Law, where I was the notes and comments editor for the Temple International and Comparative Law Journal. I completed a BSFS in International Politics from Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service as well as a Certificate of Arab Studies from Georgetown's Center for Contemporary Arab Studies. Previously, I worked in international development in Cairo, Egypt and Washington, DC. I speak Arabic and am learning Spanish.
