Yesterday, Judge Neumeister of the Los Angeles Immigration Court granted the asylum claim of of one of my Kenyan clients who has been litigating an asylum claim, with my assistance, for the last five and a half years. One extraordinary aspect of this case is the number of times the applicant and I appeared for trial, ready to proceed, only to be rescheduled, for reasons beyond our control, to a much later trial date.
I am happy to say that so many years and two judges later, the client was afforded a hearing on the compelling merits of the asylum claim, with the most favorable of outcomes.
On behalf of the applicant, we thank Judge Neumeister, and DHS counsel, Ms. Woods, for their participation in this matter.
