About our Facilitator, Diana Vellos Coker
Whether she is strategizing with a company regarding the immigration impact of a merger or explaining our complex immigration system to an individual seeking to make the U.S. their permanent home, Diana appreciates the challenges in our legal system and the real lives impacted by the immigration process. Diana understands her role as an attorney is not only to secure a specific immigration outcome as efficiently as possible but also to advise employers and individuals so they understand the process and feel empowered as a result.
Diana is an AV® Preeminent™ Peer Review Rated* attorney whose practice includes a broad range of business immigration matters including hiring and retaining foreign national employees and implementing overall immigration policies and procedures and compliance matters.
Improving our current immigration system is of critical importance for Diana.

She frequently speaks with members of Congress and their staff regarding immigration issues and has served on a grassroots task force to advocate for positive change.
