I got two young boys granted asylum in immigration court who had witnessed their father’s murder. At the end of the hearing one of the boys asked the judge if they could show a picture of his father to him and pulled out a worn, folded up photo from his wallet to show him. Whole court room was in tears. Tearing up now just as I write this remembering this moment. Helped me to remember why I became a lawyer.
I have two. I freed a woman from a marriage which was abusive. I saved another family’s home. Both were pro Bono.
I got to save a senior citizen from an abusive/dangerous situation so he could live out the remainder of his life in peace and dignity.

Won a custody case. Afterwards the parent who lost was yelling at the child that he was a liar and now he would never see him again. I knew right then the right decision was made.
Recently?
won a DV case, V1 had already passed away before trial and had been Ds victims for over a decade but the cases never went far. V2 was V1 mom. She testified to what transpired and finally the man who abused her daughter for so long, and who she believed likely contributed to V1 early death, was convicted for the abuse. Conviction all counts, even for deceased V. V2 was in tears and could finally lay it all to rest after all that heartbreak. I knew I made the right choice entering the profession in that moment. It made everything worth it and still does.
