WilmerHale lawyers achieved a significant pro bono victory when immigration authorities announced that they would drop deportation proceedings against our client, Amadou Ly, and allow him to live and study in the United States. Many WilmerHale lawyers contributed to this outstanding result, including Edward Tobin, Ilona Cohen and Sarah Hurwitz.
