@anthonyalcivar
Dedicated staff attorney specializing in immigrant children's legal protection.
What I'm looking for
As a passionate staff attorney, I am committed to advocating for immigrant children's rights and providing robust legal support to pro bono attorneys. My experience spans various roles where I have honed my skills in legal research, client representation, and case management. At Kids in Need of Defense, I lead efforts to ensure that vulnerable children receive the legal assistance they need, while also supervising interns and fostering relationships within the pro bono community.
Previously, I served at the National Immigrant Justice Center, where I prepared and filed applications with USCIS and EOIR, collaborated with local shelters, and provided advocacy for detained children. My role at the Chicago Public Schools' Office of the Inspector General further developed my analytical skills as I drafted investigative reports and collaborated with legal teams. I am driven by a commitment to social justice and a desire to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those I serve.
