Hannah Bridges

Hannah is an attorney with Murray Osorio who started as an associate in November 2024. Before becoming an associate, she worked as a law clerk on a wide range of cases. Hannah has been passionate about immigration law ever since she spent a summer in her sophomore year of college working at a local immigration clinic in her hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina. She is excited she gets to start her career as an immigration attorney at Murray Osorio.

Prior to attending law school, Hannah worked as a paralegal for Legal Aid of North Carolina’s Immigration and Domestic Violence units, where she learned the importance of trauma-informed lawyering and intersectional advocacy for immigrant survivors of intimate partner violence. At Legal Aid she also gained extensive knowledge of humanitarian immigration pathways, preparing numerous applications for U visas, T visas, and protection under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). This experience ultimately pushed her to attend American University Washington College of Law, where she graduated with her juris doctor in 2024. At WCL, she served as a student attorney and Dean’s Fellow for the Immigrant Justice Clinic. At WCL she also worked as a Dean’s Fellow for the National Immigrant Women’s Advocacy Project (NIWAP) where she published the article “Settled Law: The Role of State Court Judges in Making Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) Judicial Determinations.”

Hannah is proficient in speaking, reading, and writing Spanish, and hopes to soon become fluent.
