Glickman Turley attorneys recently represented two successful applicants for asylum and protection under the convention against torture.
We successfully represented a gay client who affirmatively sought asylum because of her fear of being persecuted on account of her sexual orientation in her Caribbean home country. The victory in this case involved a showing that the client's exceptional circumstances merited a waiver to the rule that affirmative asylum applications must be filed within one-year of entering the U.S.
In addition, we successfully represented a young man with a criminal history on his application for protection against torture on account of his parents' involvement in human rights activism and truth and reconciliation efforts in his Central American home country.
