Kasowitz Wins Asylum for Guatemalan Refugee

Kasowitz attorneys obtained a grant of asylum from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services on behalf of a young Guatemalan woman who had been subject to persecution, including severe emotional and physical abuse from her father and threats to her life by gang members, due to her gender and membership in a particular social group of Guatemalan women and children. This pro bono matter was supervised by partner and pro bono coordinator David J. Abrams.
