Q: Why did you join Tahirih’s Pro Bono Network?: A: The women and children I've worked with over the years inspire me to take on new cases. They have gone through so much and are so brave.
Q: Share a highlight from a pro bono case with Tahirih.: A: Some of the best results have taken a lot of time, and building a relationship with your client over a period of several years creates a true relationship of trust and friendship. For example, we filed an asylum application for a very deserving client in 2014, but she had to wait for her asylum interview until 2018. We were so thrilled when she was granted asylum this year, and it was a privilege to help prepare her for her interview and to be there when she received her decision!
Q: How has your pro bono service impacted you?: A: It is amazing and empowering to see people's lives change as the result of pro bono efforts.
