After completing her legal training, Harker began practicing in Oregon.

She learned the rhythms of immigration practice in clinics and private practice environments. Those early experiences shaped how she approaches case management today.
Harker’s career spans a range of immigration matters. She has experience preparing family-based petitions, naturalization cases, and applications for humanitarian relief. She has also represented clients in removal proceedings and in administrative appeals. In routine filings and in contested hearings she focuses on careful fact-gathering and clear legal argument. She works with interpreters, community organizations, and social service providers when cases require broader coordination.
Colleagues describe Harker as thorough in document preparation and attentive to procedural deadlines. She emphasizes client communication and makes time to explain options and likely outcomes. Her practice includes both individual representation and work on cases that require collaboration with other lawyers. She handles routine filings and more complex matters that intersect with federal immigration policy and administrative rules.
At Bennett & Harker Immigration Legal Services, Harker manages client matters from intake to resolution. The office handles cases that move through U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and immigration courts. Harker prepares applications, represents clients at interviews and hearings, and files appeals when necessary. She also advises clients on eligibility for various forms of relief and on the documentation needed to support claims.
Outside of court and filings, Harker spends time staying current on regulatory changes and agency guidance that affect clients’ options. She routinely reviews policy updates and adjusts intake processes when procedures change. Her day-to-day practice balances advocacy, paperwork, and client counseling.
