About Emily
Emily Reber-Mariniello studied law at Seattle University School of Law and earned her J.D. in 2010. She arrived at law school after undergraduate studies and early career experiences that led her toward public-interest and client-centered work. Her legal training at Seattle University placed her in the Pacific Northwest legal community at a formative time.
After law school, Reber-Mariniello entered the Washington bar and is an active member of the Washington State Bar Association, holding membership number 43170. She is licensed to practice in Washington and has built a practice rooted in the state's diverse immigration landscape. Colleagues describe her approach as pragmatic. She favors clear explanations and steady handling of paperwork and procedure.
Her career has centered on immigration law. She appears in state and federal settings on behalf of individual clients and small businesses. She handles family-based petitions, employment-based matters, naturalization applications and removal proceedings. She also counsels clients on visa options and procedural strategy when circumstances change. The work demands attention to shifting regulations and deadlines. She meets that demand by staying current on policy and rules affecting immigration processes.
Reber-Mariniello founded and operates ERM Immigration Law PLLC, a practice based in Washington. At ERM Immigration Law she manages client intake, prepares filings, and represents clients in hearings and interviews. The office serves a mix of people seeking family reunification, lawful permanent residence, and citizenship, as well as employers navigating visa sponsorship. She maintains a hands-on role in each case and oversees any support staff involved in client matters.
Outside of direct representation, she participates in the local legal community through the bar. Her membership in the Washington State Bar Association provides access to continuing legal education and practice resources that inform daily work. She uses those resources to adapt to procedural updates and to refine office practices.
Those who consult her can expect straightforward communication about options and likely timelines. She balances legal detail with practical next steps, aiming to keep clients informed through each phase of a case. In 2026 she continues to practice immigration law at ERM Immigration Law PLLC, representing individuals and employers in Washington on a range of immigration matters.
