02.18.22

On February 10, 2022, Simpson Thacher obtained a grant of asylum for a Honduran refugee and her 11-year-old son. Our client came to the United States in 2015 after escaping from her abusive husband of over two decades, whom she had been forced to marry when she was a teenager. Simpson Thacher has represented this client in her immigration court proceedings since 2016.

The Simpson Thacher team included Rachel Sparks Bradley, Rebecca Sussman, Jacob Lundqvist, Avia Gridi, Taylor Sutton and Brooke Cucinella. In the six years since the case began, the team has also included former colleagues Andy Amer, Sara Estela and Mathieu Coquelet Ruiz.
