She has a passion for contributing to the firm's Pro Bono practice, particularly regarding criminal justice matters and women and children's issues. Carina has helped clients through a wide range of pro bono cases, from advocating for clients in D.C. Superior Court’s Domestic Violence Division, to successfully arguing for the positive grant of a client’s asylum petition before an Immigration Court.
