Partner Leanne Welds was quoted in a Law360 article titled, “In Their Words: Attorneys' Most Memorable Pro Bono Work,” which highlighted memorable pro bono matters in honor of National Week of Pro Bono. She discussed her work obtaining a T nonimmigrant status visa for a labor trafficking victim who we will call "Sylvia." Leanne noted, “My time working on this case highlights that our impact in the world should not always be measured by its breadth but also its depth. Obtaining T nonimmigrant status was a life-changing and lifesaving experience for Sylvia and her children, an outcome that would likely not have been achieved without significant time commitment and devotion to building the strongest case for Sylvia's circumstance.”
