Spokane Valley Immigration Attorney Makes Super Lawyers List – Hector E. Quiroga Sr. Among Washington’s Best Lawyers
SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. — A leading professional publication has ranked Spokane Valley attorney Hector E. Quiroga, Sr. as among the top 2.5 percent of young attorneys in Washington State.
Quiroga was named a “Rising Star” by the magazine Super Lawyers, a Thomson Reuters publication, whose rating service designates the most outstanding attorneys in the United States and United Kingdom. Attorneys under 40 or in practice for fewer than 10 years may qualify as Rising Stars.
The selection makes Quiroga the only eastern Washington immigration attorney and the only immigration lawyer from Spokane Valley on the Super Lawyers list.
In just 15 years, Quiroga has graduated with honors from Gonzaga University’s undergraduate and law programs; served as a law clerk for the Honorable Chief Judge Robert H. Whaley for the Eastern District of Washington Federal Court; worked at the Washington Attorney General’s Office and the state Department of Labor and Industries; and started the Quiroga Law Office, PLLC, with his wife, Casey, also an attorney.
The final published lists, intended as a resource for clients and other attorneys, comprise only lawyers in more than 70 practice areas eligible for hire by the public—those in private practice and Legal Aid attorneys.
The lists appear annually in state and regional editions of Super Lawyers Magazines and in inserts and special advertising sections in leading city and regional magazines and newspapers. All attorneys selected for inclusion in Super Lawyers, regardless of year, can be found on SuperLawyers.com.

Priscilla Herchold’s Passion for People
Priscilla Herchold is an outstanding associate attorney who cares a lot about her clients and gives 110% effort into each and every day. Priscilla joined our team June 15, 2015, and loves her career here at Quiroga Law Office, PLLC. Priscilla feels that the team has a good atmosphere with a staff who carry on good humor in the office and knows it is important to have fun, yet the team knows it is pertinent to maintain a serious and committed mind to every case and client.
Priscilla is a very inquisitive person who truly wanted to do something great. Once she found her inspiration to pursue law during her last semester in college while pursuing an arts degree, she couldn’t shake the idea of helping people. Priscilla says, “I was inspired to pursue law because of my sister and brother-in-law. They were graduates of the Gonzaga law school here in Spokane, Washington.” At Quiroga Law Office, PLLC, Priscilla is responsible for handling family law, bankruptcy, immigration, and personal injury cases.
Priscilla’s goal as an attorney is to help people during a complex situation, to help break it down to become a simpler matter, and to achieve the desired result. Priscilla’s motto is that “nothing is impossible.” She loves when a client places trust in the office, because being able to help people get closure during a tough situation is very rewarding.
