The firm has long championed immigrant rights through individual representation and impact litigation aimed at systemic change. While we bring deep experience to these efforts, we also embrace opportunities to learn new skills and meet urgent needs identified by community partners.
This year, one such need came from the New York Legal Assistance Group: immigrants on tourist visas receiving lifesaving medical care in the United States who required visa extensions to complete treatment. Our volunteers acted quickly—preparing and submitting forms under tight deadlines and collaborating with medical staff and social workers to ensure continuity of care. We filed extensions for numerous clients, including multiple extensions for patients whose treatment plans evolved over time.
We are proud that our lawyers combine dedication, experience, and adaptability to address a wide spectrum of immigration challenges. Whether safeguarding individuals from persecution, ensuring noncitizens' constitutional rights are protected through impact litigation, or securing visa extensions for patients needing lifesaving medical care, their work ensures safety, stability, and access to essential treatment.
