Sutherland lawsuit firm Asbill & Brennan have been working in the law arena since 1930’s. Asbill and Brennan have represented some of the biggest names in the corporate world and they have fought lawsuits for the benefit of general public. The public service lawsuits have created a name for the company in the public service domain. Asbill & Brennan make it mandatory for every lawyer working in their firm to work on an average 50 hours per financial year on pro bono lawsuits. Pro bono lawsuits help the new lawyers gain experience and also help the professional lawyers to give something back to the community. Here are two of the recent pro bono Sutherland lawsuits:
Pro bono Sutherland Lawsuit 1: This Sutherland lawsuit was to confront the removal of Wondemu G. Argaw, an Ethiopian national and a permanent resident of United States. Mr. Argaw was found carrying some khat, which is a local stimulant for the men of Ethiopia. When the case was appealed by the Sutherland lawsuit firm against the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement the U.S Court held that khat was not a controlled substance under the U.S law and Mr. Argaw should be allowed to stay in the country.
Pro Bono Sutherland Lawsuit 2: This civil rights lawsuit was filed by Sutherland Asbill & Brennan and Washington Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs. In this Sutherland lawsuit seven deaf individuals at Laurel Regional Hospital in Laurel, Md., were not given any help regarding communication through sign language despite their repeated requests. This is the first time that deaf patients took help of a law firm in taking a hospital to court citing the interpretation facilities provided by the hospital as inadequate.
