Prior to joining RAICES, Tami served as the Deputy Director of the Dilley Pro Bono Project representing immigrant families detained at the largest immigrant detention facility in the U.S.
Tami’s background is in civil litigation. She was the Managing Partner of the Colorado offices of Lewis Roca Rothgerber Christie LLP, a law firm of nearly 300 attorneys, where she worked for 14 years.
