Llewellyn A. Searing is an attorney at MP2 Placidi & Parini who represents individuals and families across a wide range of immigration, criminal, and family law matters. Her practice focuses primarily on immigration law, including family-based petitions, naturalizations, and asylum applications. In addition, Llewellyn represents clients in low-level criminal defense, post-conviction relief proceedings, and custody disputes, being especially mindful of how involvement with the criminal or family court system can affect a person’s safety and stability in the United States.
A graduate of Penn State Dickinson Law, Llewellyn discovered her passion for immigration law while working with clients from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. During law school, she gained hands-on experience through IOLTA Fellowships with the Pennsylvania Immigration Resource Center and the Community Justice Project, where she focused on removal defense and improving language access within Pennsylvania courts. Prior to joining MP2 Placidi & Parini, Llewellyn also trained for nearly a year as an Immigration Specialist at the local Multicultural Community Resource Center.
Before entering law school, Llewellyn graduated summa cum laude from the University of Maine with dual bachelor’s degrees in Mathematics and International Affairs. She also spent a year studying at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, where she volunteered teaching English to Syrian refugees.
Llewellyn believes effective legal advocacy begins with listening. She works closely with each client to ensure they understand their options and feel supported at every stage of the process, whether they are seeking a second chance in the criminal system, protecting their parental rights, or pursuing lawful status in the United States. Her approach blends clear communication, practical strategy, and genuine care for the people she serves, recognizing that legal matters, regardless of type, often affect the most meaningful aspects of people’s lives.
Outside the office, Llewellyn enjoys playing the cello, spending time on Lake Erie, and attending local baseball games with her fiancé and their two dogs
