The Law Office of Edward W. Neufville III, LLC, and our clients have had a busy summer so far! July in DC brings much excitement as we celebrate our country’s freedom. Our interns are integrated well into our team, allowing us to take on more cases and WINS! We also welcomed two more summer interns this month, whom we are excited to introduce.

Wins! Wins! Wins!

B. S. is originally from Burma. B. S. had an outstanding order of removal when she came to see us. Attorney Neufville and the team went into action! The Law Office of Edward W. Neufville III, LLC  helped her apply for her Temporary Protected Status (TPS). A couple of months later, B.S. Temporary Protected Status was approved.

Congratulations!

P.N. is originally from Liberia. He came to the U.S. as a refugee and later got arrested for a crime. Following his arrest, his criminal defense attorney didn’t properly advise him, leading him to take a plea deal leading to his deportation. He hired us when ICE started the process of his deportation. The Law Office of Edward Neufville III, LLC began working with his criminal defense attorney and reopened his criminal conviction. We advised both his criminal defense and state attorney on crafting an acceptable plea agreement that would not trigger immigration consequences.

C.A. is a multinational executive in the U.S. and held an L1 visa. C.A. exhausted her two extensions on her L1 visa status. C.A. hired us to fill out an extension of her L1 visa status. Due to COVID-19, C.A. spent considerable time out of the U.S. The Law Office of Edward Neufville III, LLC was able to obtain a third extension of C.A’s L1-A visa and recaptured the time spent outside of the United States. A month later, The Law Office of Edward W. Neufville III, LLC applied for her green card based on her L1-A status and this was approved!

Congratulations!

“For twenty years, I have worked in industries governed by complicated federal regulations: banking, energy, employment, medicine, and now immigration. I have mastered explaining those regulations’ meanings, oversight agency interpretations, and their implications and consequences to laypersons. In addition, I easily navigate highly technical information. I can quickly educate myself about unfamiliar fields. Moreover, I can help make highly technical matters clearer.” ~ Kole Ursey

Bekla Kouakou is a rising senior at American University in Washington, D.C. She is majoring in International Relations with a minor in legal studies. After her undergraduate degree, she is interested in attending law school to become an immigration lawyer. Bekla is a big foodie and enjoys trying different types of foods.

“Being an international relation major, I possess a strong foundation in research. Over my three years at American, I became very familiar with how to navigate through different information in a short amount of time. I learned to think critically about the way I would utilize certain data and draw necessary conclusions to make an effective and strong argument. I am excited to learn from and contribute to Attorney Neufville’s Team!” ~Bekla Kouakou
