Fatmata Barrie

Fatmata Barrie is an attorney with Barrie Legal, which maintains an office in Silver Spring, Maryland. Her federal immigration practice includes visas, green cards, naturalization, asylum, and removal defense, and those federal matters can be handled nationwide. She also works on special education and nonprofit matters within the limits of her licensing. She is admitted in the District of Columbia and is not admitted to practice Maryland state law.

Fatmata earned a B.S. in Psychology from Florida A&M University and a J.D. from the University of Florida Levin College of Law. Florida Bar records identify the University of Florida as her law school, while current professional materials confirm her continuing work as an attorney. Her education provides a foundation for immigration advocacy involving individuals and families, as well as legal work connected with special education and nonprofit organization matters.

Fatmata represents immigrants and families seeking lawful status, protection, and greater stability in the United States. Her immigration work includes family-related matters, humanitarian protection, citizenship, and defense against removal. Her broader practice includes special education advocacy for children with disabilities in the District of Columbia and federal tax-exemption matters for nonprofit organizations. She has also been involved in community advocacy and public-service work related to immigrants, families, and local civic issues.

Fatmata Barrie combines immigration representation with experience in special education and nonprofit law. Her current firm clearly limits state and local matters to the District of Columbia while offering federal immigration services nationwide from its Silver Spring office. That structure allows her to assist clients with immigration processes governed by federal law while maintaining clear jurisdictional boundaries. Her practice emphasizes direct attorney access, careful case preparation, and straightforward guidance on complex legal procedures.
