Law Offices of Carol L. Edward & Associates, P.S. - Mt Vernon, WA

At the Law Offices of Carol L. Edward & Associates, P.S., we bring more than 35 years of immigration work together with attentive, global client service. Based in Mount Vernon, Washington, we handle immigration matters across the board, including:

• Family-based petitions
• Employment-based visas
• High-stakes matters in immigration and federal courts

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all answers. Every strategy we build is shaped around the real-life details of each client’s situation. The firm is led by founder and Of Counsel Carol L. Edward, alongside partners Julia C. Hunter, Eric P. Lin and Martha R. Muldowney. Ms. Edward’s perspective is personal – raised as the daughter of immigrants and holding dual U.S.-Canadian citizenship, she approaches each case with understanding and resolve.

Since opening the firm in 1984, Ms. Edward has guided clients through asylum filings, business transitions and removal defense. While she is shifting her day-to-day caseload to her partners, she remains closely involved as a trusted voice within the team. Ms. Hunter, Mr. Lin and Ms. Muldowney bring strong capabilities in administrative processes, appellate work and federal court matters.

Backed by our bilingual administrative team, we coordinate closely to craft accurate filings, track deadlines and help clients navigate complex government systems. Our office serves as a central hub for applicants, families, employers and key stakeholders. We know the waiting can be the hardest part.

That’s why we focus on reducing stress with straightforward guidance, clear fee arrangements and consistent updates. For employers, we provide practical planning for nonimmigrant and immigrant visa options, compliance reviews and premium-processing approaches designed to cut delays and protect business investments.

Many firms avoid the courtroom when possible – we don’t. Our attorneys regularly represent clients before immigration courts, the Board of Immigration Appeals, U.S. District Courts and the Federal Courts of Appeal. With admission to the U.S. Supreme Court, our courtroom readiness adds an extra layer of strength when the stakes rise. At the Law Offices of Carol L. Edward & Associates, P.S., we pair compassion with disciplined advocacy, staying with you from the first filing to the final outcome.
