HAMILTON WINS ASYLUM FOR KENYAN TORTURE VICTIM

If you have read the two posts below, this post should provide a sense of the kind of month it is shaping up to be at my modest firm. You will note that we successfully comleted the long-term and extremely challenging Ugandan torture victim's case on August 18, and then ended a seven year quest for lawful permanent residency for one of our few Guatemalan clients the very next day, August 19, 2010. We also appeared in court, ready for trial in another extremely protracted Guatemalan immigration litigation matter on August 17, 2010 which was continued to next year due to illness of the judge.

However, we should not neglect to mention that the only Kenyan case which we were scheduled to take to trial this month (the asylum claim of a Kenyan torture victim) has been tried and asylum granted by Immigration Judge DeJongh of the Los Angeles Immigration Court on August 12, 2010.

We have no further immigration trials (final hearings in a court of law) scheduled this month and the outcomes discussed in the two previous posts and in this one, represent all of the final hearings which have been conducted so far this month by me, regardless of the aliens' countries of origin.
