In celebration of , we’re shining a spotlight on one of IIBA’s dedicated pro bono attorneys Paola Guerra-Lopez!

As part of IIBA’s network of pro bono attorneys, Paola assists with a range of removal defense matters, including pro se cases. Under the supervision of IIBA attorneys, she helps asylum seekers prepare and supplement their asylum applications and obtain work permits, providing critical support as they navigate complex legal processes.

Paola also regularly volunteers at Redwood City’s monthly deportation defense clinics, where she provides consultations to individuals and families from across Northern California.

Whenever there’s an opportunity to support a family in need, Paola is among the first to step up. We’re grateful for volunteers like Paola and their commitment to serving our community!

This story by highlights the trusted network of local organizations and community leaders working to make sure immigrants know their rights, understand the resources available to them, and have somewhere they can turn for reliable guidance.

Shout-out to Mady and IIBA’s Napa team for continuing to provide trusted legal guidance, direct consultations, Know Your Rights information, and support to immigrant communities throughout the Napa and North Bay community.
