The award recognizes PBA members practicing immigration law who have provided a unique service that has resulted in significant provision of legal services on a pro bono basis to the neediest of foreign nationals. The winners are selected in consultation with PBA leadership. The award is sponsored by the business immigration law firm of Green and Spiegel LLC.
Cambria, Donohoe and Kline have represented many immigrant families in the Berks County Residential Center, based in Bern Township, who are involved in immigration removal proceedings. The three lawyers have represented more than 200 asylum-seeking clients and have won many asylum and withholding cases.
Green and Spiegel LLC has made a donation of $1,500 in honor of the three lawyers to the Pennsylvania Bar Foundation, the charitable affiliate of the PBA, to benefit the PBA Pro Bono Office.
