a quiet man who lives a simple life …. from another country … arrives in the US to work … and is probably the best in the world at his job …

except for maybe a Brazilian or a Canadian … but no American may currently make such a claim … at least that’s what I think

For the longest time we have been meaning to post this one.

This is a man who was born in 1987.  He is the youngest American ever to have won an Olympic wrestling gold medal.

Jumped right from high school to USA wrestling.  Kind of a LeBron / Kobe thing

121 pounds.  Gold medal.

Son of a couple of Mexicans who — like millions of others — lived in the US without any legal status.

Wonder how Henry got his motivation?

According to the American Bar Association, that’s how many lawyers there are in the US.  

ONE MILLION, one hundred thousand, sixteen thousand, nine hundred and sixty seven.

FRANK & YORK has FOUR lawyers.

Unreal odds, huh?

 Remember, we do cases for immigrants residing throughout the US. For that matter, all over the world.

So it is actually more than the ratio cited above.

We have many Indian clients who could use local representation to assist them at the US Consulates. 

Guess how many attorneys there are in India?

A million.

And there are plenty of Brazilians near our office, relocating here from a nation with almost 600,000  lawyers.

Spain Italy Germany UK  100 thousand plus, each…

Add ‘em up and you’re talking more than 3 MILLION ATTORNEYS in just 7 countries.

We have FOUR lawyers.

Lauren won a couple of really big cases in the last few weeks.  Two cases under the U.N. Convention Against Torture (CAT).

It’s an incredibly tough standard.

You must show that it’s more likely than not that an immigrant will be tortured if deported.

Most years, there are about 30,000 people who go before US Immigration Judges to seek CAT relief.  Less than 500 win.

Do the math.  That is less than one percent.

Lauren Anselowitz won two CAT cases this summer.

At Frank & York, we want to protect our clients.  AND we hate to lose.

Lauren said, “NOT OUR CLIENTS.”
