When Legal Aid of North Carolina's Immigration Pathways for Victims Project faced devastating staffing reductions, hundreds of immigrant survivors of crime were at risk of losing legal representation.

Attorney Alexander Eiffe at @a.g.linett.law stepped forward with an extraordinary commitment to ensuring that these vulnerable clients would not have to navigate the immigration system alone. Following significant funding cuts, our immigration team needed to transition hundreds of pending U visa cases to other attorneys. Alex responded by agreeing to take on more than 100 cases at a deeply reduced fee. His office handled the transitions with remarkable efficiency, promptly preparing and filing the necessary paperwork to ensure continuity of representation for survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and other serious crimes. Alex's generosity and compassion made an enormous difference during an incredibly difficult time. His willingness to assume ongoing responsibility for so many complex cases helped protect clients' access to legal counsel when their safety, stability, and futures were at stake. We are deeply grateful for his extraordinary commitment to access to justice and to the clients who depend on it. #ProBonoHero #AccessToJustice #LegalAidNC
