Marcia Binder Ibrahim, Esq.

Marcia Binder Ibrahim, Esq.

Founding Member & Of Counsel

Marcia Binder Ibrahim is a founding member and senior attorney of the firm, now serving Of Counsel. Across more than thirty-five years of practice she has represented individuals, families, and employers in matters of U.S. immigration and nationality law, alongside a family law practice that lets her handle the two areas together when a client's status and family situation are intertwined.

Marcia earned her J.D. from Villanova University School of Law in 1979 and is admitted in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, as well as before the United States Supreme Court and multiple federal courts. She co-chairs the Montgomery Bar Association's Immigration Committee and was recently recognized by the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers Association for twenty-eight years of membership.

Marcia's counsel most often reaches clients who need immigration and family matters handled together — a spouse whose status depends on the outcome of a divorce, a parent navigating custody across borders, or an employer sponsoring key talent. She brings the same meticulous, document-driven preparation to a naturalization interview as to a federal appeal.

Vishal J. Dobaria, Esq.

Vishal J. Dobaria, Esq.

Managing Attorney

Vishal J. Dobaria is the firm's Managing Attorney and leads its day-to-day practice across immigration, real estate, business, and family law. With more than a decade of experience — including time as a solo practitioner and a tenure at a prominent global law firm in Philadelphia — he brings a broad, connected view to matters that many attorneys treat in isolation.

At his prior firm, Vishal led the real estate title portfolio spanning eighteen states, and he continues to represent buyers, sellers, and lenders in residential and commercial transactions while advising businesses on formation, contracts, and agreements. Raised in Montgomery County, where he still lives, he earned a B.A. from Temple University, an M.A. from Saint Joseph's University, and his J.D. from Western Michigan University Cooley Law School.

Vishal pairs a transactional real estate and business practice with active immigration and family work, which lets the firm advise a client buying a first home, forming a company, and sponsoring a relative as one connected story rather than three separate engagements. His closings and title work span eighteen states, and he keeps clients informed at every step of a transaction.

Credentials & Admissions

  • J.D., Western Michigan University Cooley Law School
  • M.A., Saint Joseph's University
  • B.A., Temple University
  • Admitted in Pennsylvania and New Jersey
