Quality.

Cowan Miller and Lederman is nationally and internationally recognized as one of the best immigration law firms in the country. Each of the named partners is listed in Best Lawyers in America and Super Lawyers (Washington Law & Politics) as well as The International Who's Who of Corporate Immigration Lawyers. The firm is listed in the top group of immigration law firms by the prestigious Chambers USA ranking. By limiting our practice to immigration law, we have developed an understanding which enables us to provide the best guidance in a difficult field where quality can and often does make a difference. A range of the Northwest's largest and most respected private, non-profit and public organizations have chosen CML to handle their immigration law needs.
Experience.

Our attorneys are focused, dedicated and experienced. Pamela Cowan started the firm in 1984 and was joined by Steve Miller in 1990. Kevin Lederman, who had been a partner in another firm, joined in 2005, bringing over fifteen years of immigration experience. Since then, Abby Loomis, Kohei Yamamoto, Felicia Gittleman, Kate Lopez Ley and Margaret David have joined our team, each bringing a wealth of immigration expertise. Every attorney at CML is committed to the people and businesses we represent.
Respect.

Each of the named partners has been chair of the Washington State Chapter of American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) and served on its national board. CML attorneys speak regularly at national and regional immigration law conferences. Our lawyers and staff actively volunteer in the community. We have worked on and chaired liaison committees with local and national USCIS, the Department of State, and the Department of Labor, and understand how and by whom the decisions are made.
Client Service.

We pride ourselves in our responsiveness to our clients. We promptly return phone calls and e-mails. We tackle difficult cases with creative approaches and are honest in our assessment of the challenges of your case. We believe that clients deserve to know the truth even if it is not what they want to hear. We prepare cases thoroughly, file expeditiously, and track carefully.
Results.
