Chelsea M. Nowel

Chelsea M. Nowel is an attorney and owner of Dubrule & Nowel, PLLC. Chelsea was raised in Canada, France, and the US. She received her Honors Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toronto, Trinity College and received her law degree from Cleveland-Marshall College of Law where she graduated Cum Laude. Chelsea is trilingual, fluent in English, Spanish, and French.

Chelsea started her career resettling refugees in Cleveland, Ohio. Although she enjoyed the clients, she was frustrated that she could not provide long-lasting solutions to their legal problems. It was at that time that Chelsea realized her desire to practice Immigration and Nationality law.

After years in a big immigration firm, Chelsea decided to open her own firm, CMN Law, LLC in order to continue her fierce advocacy for intending immigrants to the United States. After meeting John, she felt that a merging of the two firms was the best way to expand her service to immigrants in her community and beyond.

Chelsea is barred in Ohio and is a member of AILA. She serves on the board of AILA Central Florida as the Tampa Bay Regional Vice Chair and is chair of the New Members Committee. She was also a distinguished speaker at:

• the 2023 AILA National Conference in Orlando, Florida;
• the 2022 AILA Central Florida Immigration Law Conference in Clearwater, Florida;
• the 2019 AILA Central Florida Immigration Law Conference in St. Petersburg, Florida; and
• the 2019 NAFSA Region VII Conference in Orlando, Florida.

Chelsea moved to Tampa Bay in 2016 and lives with her husband William and their twin children, Fiona and Michael.
