Diane R. Chappell-Daly established her practice in
immigration law in 1994. Since then, she has
successfully represented
hundreds of clients seeking a variety of US immigration benefits,
including family and employment visas, green cards, naturalization,
and proof of US citizenship.
Ms. Chappell-Daly has worked extensively with families seeking to sponsor relatives for immigration
benefits under various challenging circumstances including difficulties with consular
processing, waiver applications, overcoming denials, and claims for
cancellation of removal. Having
focused her practice exclusively on immigration law, she
also developed an expertise in employment-based immigration
options. Ms. Chappell-Daly
has represented employers across a wide spectrum of
industries, including the healthcare,
information technology, education, engineering, and
environmental science industries. Ms.
Chappell-Daly has also represented foreign nationals applying for national interest
waivers, and classification as persons of extraordinary
ability, and as outstanding professors and researchers.
In addition to her law practice, Ms. Chappell-Daly
serves as a resource to local refugee, literacy, and
faith-based groups. She is also an attorney
volunteer at
Vera House - a local resource for victims of domestic violence -
and a panel member for the Court Assisted
Mediation Pilot Program in federal district court system. Upon
request, Ms. Chappell-Daly is available to comment
and provide educational presentations on immigration issues. (Learn more about her speaking engagements
