Immigration Planning and Compliance Chair Maria Casablanca was profiled by the publication of her alma mater, Georgia State College of Law. She discussed making a difference through immigration law, recounting her experience representing immigrants at the border pro bono, crediting Akerman’s pro bono programs for the opportunity. She also mentions her work with international investors seeking investment visas or green cards, expressing that no matter who she’s representing, what motivates her is helping families secure a brighter future.
“It still gets to me how grateful people are,” Casablanca said. “I can help people become part of this country, and that’s the most important thing. That’s what I strive for the most. It’s about giving their children a better future.”
