“McDermott Wins Asylum for Woman in Trafficking Case”
Chicago Daily Law Bulletin, September 21, 2011
Brett Johnson said that a McDermott pro bono team won asylum for a sex trafficking victim from Democratic Republic of Congo by “present[ing] the case as one of persecution” because “the odds of her being sex trafficked again were very high.” On the team with Mr. Johnson were Brett Bachtell, Mennatallah Eltaki, Katherine Schon and Sandra McGill (who as a French speaker did most of the communication with the client). Pro Bono Counsel Latonia Haney Keith said the team’s success “speaks a lot to the quality of work and dedication” the firm has in asylum cases.
