Not having an attorney during an immigration court hearing would be like going unarmed into war without the necessary ammunition to ensure you or your family’s safety. During my hearings before the judge, of which there were three that lasted about 20 hours, Elizabeth was a mentor.  She guided and defended me with great intelligence, wisdom, assurance, and tenacity before every official we encountered in the process.

We were never alone. Elizabeth was always there to help me obtain my political asylum in the USA.

“I was stuck in an immigration legal battle for years and finally in 2019-2020, I was unable to move forward—between the rock and the deep blue sea. In fact, it is a one-sided battle where I had no means or power to defend myself any longer, behind iron gates tightly closed.

In desperation, I wrote to some non-profit organizations and asked for help. Liz responded to me and was the first person I saw who took care of my case from the start."
