Partner
Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy
Monique A van Stiphout is an immigration attorney with over 20 years’ experience. As a Partner in Fragomen’s Washington, DC office, Monique partners with universities on J-1 and F-1 program development and compliance, as well as assisting with securing work authorization for international faculty and staff. Monique takes an open-ended, personal approach to client service, initiating representations with tough questions that identify her client’s drives, ambitions and objectives—and building her services around them.
She represents “high-touch” clients, including startups and entrepreneurs, who require skilled assistance with individual, high-stakes immigration issues that in many cases the client is facing for the first time. In this capacity, she manages and troubleshoots immigration processes for professors and researchers in a variety of academic fields, artists, high-level executives and business founders who require comprehensive and responsive service.
As the child of immigrants herself, Monique pursues a practice based on empathy and a deep understanding that her work, and the work of her team, dramatically impacts the lives of the people in her care.
