Often our Staff Attorneys and Law Fellows are the first kind eyes and reassuring nods that our new immigration clients gratefully receive. The Staff Attorney and Law Fellow (under the supervision of an attorney) are responsible for providing direct legal representation to clients served by St. Frances Cabrini Center for Legal Assistance in immigration matters. Legal representation includes entering an appearance as the attorney of record on matters and in proceedings before the USCIS, Asylum Office, State, federal and immigration courts, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, agencies within the Department of Homeland Security, Department of State, as well as appellate agencies such as the Administrative Appeals Office and Board of Immigration Appeals. The Staff Attorney also provides legal services in the form of community outreach and legal education, legal workshops, legal intake, legal research, individual legal representation as well as supervising caseworkers and/or law student interns. The Staff Attorney works under the direct supervision of Senior Attorney, Managing Attorney and/or Associate Legal Director.
