Cair Coalition

Jonathan Shapiro of Greenspun Shapiro PC, now a Visiting Professor at Washington and Lee University Law School which supports this work as well, has recently teamed up with CAIR Coalition to develop its Virginia post-conviction relief practice. Under Padilla v. Kentucky, 130 S.Ct. 1473 (2010) and Zemene v. Clarke, 289 Va. 303 (2015), immigrants have the ability to vacate a conviction that is triggering their deportation when their criminal defense attorney in the case failed to advise them of the immigration consequences of their offense. However, in Virginia there is no pro bono resource available to bring forward these claims. In 2017, Mr. Shapiro co-counseled with CAIR Coalition in two post-conviction relief cases, helping CAIR Coalition build its experience and paving the way for increased cases in this novel area.

Numerous judges and lawyers from the Northern Virginia area and the GMU alumni family gathered together to celebrate the achievements of Judge Rossi, Delegate Herring, and Mr. Fowler for their achievements in the judiciary, legislature, and for pro bono legal services, respectively. All of us at Greenspun Shapiro PC applaud the work each of these individuals has done in their respective fields.
