Law Office of Miho Murai

MIHO MURAI, Esq. is a solo practitioner in Los Angeles, California where she represents families in education law (including special education, school discipline, bullying, retaliation for educational advocacy, discrimination, and Section 504 plans), regional center services, immigration law (naturalization, U visas, Special Immigrant Juvenile Status ("SIJS"), Violence Against Women Act ("VAWA"), and T visas), adoptions, guardianships, and dependency law (children in foster care). Her passion and commitment to these vulnerable youth derive from her experiences as a teacher and community activist. Miho received her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a Specialization in Chicana/o Studies from the University of California, Los Angeles. Upon graduating, she taught for four years as a bilingual elementary school teacher in South Central Los Angeles. In addition to her teaching responsibilities, she served on the Student Success Team, a committee designed to assess and recommend individual student modifications in the general education program. She also created and instructed, in Spanish, a school-wide parent class that provided reading and writing strategies to be implemented at home. After the passage of Proposition 227, and witnessing its negative effects on her students, she decided to pursue her life-long dream of attending law school.
