Meet our team
Our small team of attorneys brings a deep knowledge base and diverse backgrounds in child advocacy, removal defense, immigration, family, and administrative law.
We have worked in small firms, big firms, and non profit organizations and we have been pro bono attorneys and pro bono coordinators. CILA has over 40 years of collective experience that we are pleased to be able to share with the community.
