Tayla is a member of the firm’s Immigration practice.
She focuses her practice on family-based and humanitarian-based immigration, assisting clients in matters ranging from naturalization to asylum. Tayla also helps minors obtain Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) through representation in guardianship cases before various family courts in New Hampshire.
Tayla’s passion for immigration comes from stories of her great-grandparents, who immigrated to the U.S. from Lebanon and Syria. She understands the long-lasting impact immigration can have on a family and values her role in guiding people through the complex legal processes. She is always happy to see the joy people experience when their immigration goals are realized.
Born and raised in New Hampshire, Tayla graduated from the University of New Hampshire School of Law’s prestigious Daniel Webster Scholar Honors Program. She gained experience providing immigration assistance at local non-profits before entering private legal practice.
