Partner Leslie Ditrani volunteered at CLSACC, the Cambridge Community Legal Services and Counseling Center. The clinic runs on the third Wednesday of every month, providing free legal consultation and advice to immigrants from Cambridge and the surrounding communities.
Our Firm drafted “bond packages” to help asylum seekers get released from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility in Karnes City, Texas so that they can join their families in the U.S. while seeking to obtain asylum. This project is in collaboration with RAICES (the Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services), a non-profit organization providing legal services to people in detention in south Texas. We handled more than 20 packets since initiating this project in September 2019.
During the holiday season, our Boston office ran a gift card drive in support of Kids in Need of Defense (KIND), a non-profit organization dedicated to providing legal services to immigrant children. WR staff gave generously donated throughout the month, with the firm matching their donations. Read more about KIND and how you can contribute and support their efforts here.
