Amna Shirazi worked magic

By Tom Bever

I’m an attorney in Atlanta, and had a non-citizen client detained by Customs upon re-entering the United States from personal travel abroad, based on his earlier criminal conviction. It was a desperate scenario for my client and his family, who reside here; the client’s been in the United States since his youth. Amna Shirazi worked magic to get him released, based on listening, her legal and factual research, and her personal efforts with ICE Officials. She is known to the federal government authorities, and they consider her credible. Ms. Shirazi’s understanding of the immigration detention system, and her reputation and professional relationship with ICE authorities made a difference; they listened to her presentation on behalf of her client, and were appropriately persuaded by it.
