Beck Redden Trial Lawyers Secure Asylum for Pro Bono Client

November 11, 2024 Case Study

Beck Redden trial associates Bilma A. Canales and Fariha Jawed successfully represented a client in an asylum case at the request of the Tahirih Justice Center.

The client, facing severe personal threats and traumatic conditions in her home country, sought refuge in the United States. Bilma and Fariha provided comprehensive support, including drafting a detailed asylum application and supporting brief, as well as representing the client during her asylum hearing.

Through meticulous preparation and advocacy, the legal team helped the client navigate the intricate asylum process, culminating in a successful outcome. In October 2024, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) granted the asylum application, ensuring the client’s safety and ability to remain in the United States.

Beck Redden is honored to continue its partnership with the Tahirih Justice Center, working toward a world where everyone can live with safety, dignity, and equal rights. This case highlights our Firm’s dedication to meaningful pro bono work and reflects the team’s unwavering commitment to justice and client advocacy.
