Pro Bono Client Wins Cancellation of Removal in Immigration Court

12.14.10
Last week, Immigration Judge Helen Sichel granted our client’s application for cancellation of removal after an evidentiary hearing.  Mr. L. was born in the Dominican Republic, but has lived in the United States for 20 years since entering through Puerto Rico in 1990.  He is the father of two United States citizens, 14-year old twin sons, who were abandoned by their mother and have been supported solely by Mr. L since they were 4 years old. The Firm was co-counsel on this matter with The Legal Aid Society of New York as part of the firm’s Removal Defense Pro Bono Program. The STB team included Paul Gluckow, Juan Arteaga, Mary Ann Totino, Kate Dominguez and Rita Maxwell. Magallie Kortright provided invaluable paralegal support.
