About Halley
Halley Fisher earned her law degree from Northeastern University School of Law in 2019 after completing an undergraduate degree in English literature at Northeastern in 2016. She moved from the classroom to a steady sequence of internships that exposed her to courts, public agencies and nonprofit practice. Those early placements shaped how she approaches client work and case strategy.
While at law school she assembled a varied portfolio of legal experience. In 2017 she served as a judicial intern for the U.S. District Court for the District of Vermont and also worked with the Alaska Institute for Justice. The next year she spent a summer in the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office, gaining familiarity with government litigation and administrative matters. She also spent time at Cascadia Cross-Border Law as a legal intern in 2018, which preceded her return to the firm as an attorney.
She began practicing at Cascadia Cross-Border Law in 2019. Her resume shows a steady progression from internship roles to a lawyer position at the same firm. She is admitted to practice in Washington and draws on both her courtroom exposure and agency-side experience when advising clients. The combination of a federal clerkship environment and work at a state attorney general’s office informs how she evaluates procedural and evidentiary issues.
Fisher’s practice reflects the cross-border character of her firm’s name. She handles immigration-related matters and cases that involve interactions between U.S. and foreign law. Her work involves preparing filings, representing clients before administrative bodies, and coordinating on matters that require attention to both domestic statutes and international considerations. Colleagues describe her as careful with legal research and thorough in preparing administrative submissions.
Outside the office she belongs to the American Immigration Lawyers Association, which connects her to peers working on similar issues around the country. That membership complements the practical experience she gained through internships and early courtroom exposure. She remains based at Cascadia Cross-Border Law and continues to handle immigration and cross-border legal matters in Washington. Her current practice centers on immigration and cross-border legal issues at Cascadia Cross-Border Law.
