We are happy to announce that the firm's office in Fullerton, California, today, has begun construction to expand and add more than 700 additional square feet to our existing operating space. The wall which separated our waiting area from a neighboring office is being cut in half to create a more spacious visual effect upon entry. The additional square footage will house our new law library and some additional conferencing and office space.
We anticipate that construction will be complete by the end of this week or early next week, however, the process of furnishing and equiping the new office space will continue over the next month or two.
We apologize for any temporary disruption caused by the ongoing construction.

SAN FRANCISCO IMMIGRATION JUDGE GRANTS ASYLUM IN 9-YEAR LITIGATION BATTLE
On May 5, 2011, Immigration Judge, Joren Lyons, of the San Francisco Immigration Court granted a Kenyan asylum applicant's request for asylum following re-trial of the asylum and related humanitarian claims subsequent to appellate remands from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA).
Attorney Hamilton first took on the case in May of 2002 and has been litigating the matter at the trial court, BIA, and Federal Circuit Court of Appeals levels ever since. It became clear on appeal that the initial trial Judge (since retired) made critical legal errors in the case and denied the asylum claim based upon a flawed understanding of the legal concept of "political opinion" and of the very nature of the facts as they were testified to at trial.
This was Mr. Hamilton's second asylum trial for the year 2011. Our firm congratulates the applicant and bids said applicant welcome to lawful status in the United States.
