Melissa R. Soberalski

Managing Attorney

Attorney Soberalski has wanted to practice immigration law for as long as she can remember. Growing up in Southern California, she lived within and intersectional to several different immigrant communities. It was here that she realized her life mission was to serve those who she admired and had made her feel so welcome.  

At Marquette University Law School, she founded and served as president of the school’s first immigration law society. While a law student, she interned at Catholic Charities Legal Services for Immigrants in Milwaukee and the National Immigrant Justice Center’s Asylum Project. For her service in the Milwaukee-area immigrant community, she was awarded the Public Interest Law Student of the Year Award (2011-12) by the Wisconsin State Bar.  

Today, Attorney Soberalski continues her pro bono service with local organizations like Voces de la Frontera and the Marquette Volunteer Legal Clinic. In 2018, she was recognized by Marquette University Law School as a “Rising Star” for having a positive impact on the immigrant community early on in her legal career, and in 2020 she was designated an American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) Wisconsin Chapter Pro Bono Champion.  

In June 2022, she was honored with the designation as Consultant Attorney for the Consulate of Mexico in Milwaukee.

Attorney Soberalski is a member of the Wisconsin State Bar, American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), Wisconsin Hispanic Lawyers Association, Wisconsin LGBT Chamber of Commerce, and Latino Chamber of Commerce of SE Wisconsin. She proudly serves on the Board of Directors for two worthy local serving non-profits, Walker’s Point Center for the Arts.

In her free time, she enjoys running, strength training, reading science fiction and nonfiction, and spending time with her family.
