Melissa Eberley

Melissa has practiced immigration law since July 2018 and she is thrilled to join Gibson Tanner Rabin LLP where she practices family law as well.

Melissa’s passion for immigration was first sparked when she worked as an Operations Department Assistant with the International Catholic Migration Commission in Geneva, Switzerland. Melissa has since worked for local law firms and community organizations providing legal services to immigrants, including with South Ottawa Community Legal Services as an Immigration Student while completing her JD.

Melissa is actively engaged in her local community on a volunteer basis. Melissa is presently secretary to the board of the Catholic Centre for Immigrants Foundation, and she is a member of the Board of the Mainstreeter, a community newspaper. Melissa also contributes to the “Ask an Immigration Lawyer” blog of the Immigrant Women Services Ottawa.
