Asylum and Humanitarian Protection

The firm represents individuals seeking asylum and other humanitarian protection in the United States based on persecution, or a well-founded fear of persecution, on account of race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. Representation is provided in both affirmative asylum applications filed with USCIS and defensive asylum claims raised in proceedings before the immigration courts.

Asylum cases require a detailed and well-corroborated presentation of a client's history and circumstances. Our firm works closely with each client to prepare a thorough written statement, gather supporting documentation and country-conditions evidence, and prepare the client for interview or hearing testimony. Where applicable, the firm also assists with related humanitarian relief, including withholding of removal, protection under the Convention Against Torture, and applications for related work authorization.
