History

Established in 2015.

Following graduation from George Washington Law School, Manal Tellawi, the founder of Tellawi Legal Services LLC, pursued a fellowship in The Hague at the Association of Defense Counsel for the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia.

After returning to the United States in the middle of 2013, Manal conducted legal consulting work for various non-​profit organizations, offering contract review services, housing law services and immigration law advice.

After that, she moved to Houston, Texas, where Manal worked as an Associate Attorney for a year at Lin & Valdez LLP, focusing on E2, L1, NIW, EB1 and all employment and family-​based immigration applications. She also assisted the lead attorney with family law cases, including divorce cases.

Since then, she has been handling immigration and family law matters in the DC Metro area & Baltimore and decided to enter practice to cater for the need for affordable, accessible legal advice.

Meet the Business Owner

Business Owner

I graduated from the University of Virginia (UVA) in 2009 with a Bachelor of Arts in Political & Social Thought and Middle Eastern Studies.

The fact that I enjoyed helping people (via student organizations) at UVA convinced me that I would enjoy working in the legal field, and in 2009 I enrolled for the Juris Doctorate at George Washington University Law School, completing it in 2012. Whilst at law school, I interned at a number of non-​profit organizations, including the Legal Aid Society of DC and the Special Tribunal of Lebanon in Europe.

After gaining extensive experience in a wide variety of immigration, business and family matters in Texas and the DC Metro area, I decided to start taking my own cases, focusing upon providing a quality service at a reasonable price.
