Immigration (14:20)
Featured in Top Stories
There are an estimated 12-million undocumented immigrants who live in the United States. That number has been growing, and it's sparked a national debate over immigration policy and how best to reform America’s antiquated immigration code. It's a code that many lawyers and policy-makers recognize is just not working. And for those hoping to study, work and live in the U.S., the path to citizenship is long, costly and fraught with obstacles.

Ask A Lawyer
2011 (57:44)
Domestic Violence “Mary” was trapped in an abusive marriage. Her husband beat and choked her in front of her two young children, but like many women in similar situations, she feared her abuser would turn even more violent if she left. Despite limited financial resources, she finally gathered the courage to escape, with the help of two non-profit organizations, the YWCA and Legal Aid. You’ll meet Robin Wilson, the Legal Aid attorney who secured a divorce and protective order for Mary, and find out the steps she and her client took together to ensure the family’s safety as they move forward with their lives.

Facing a default judgment against him if he failed to appear in court, he hired an unknown attorney to represent him 5,000 miles away. Little did he know that the attorney, 2011 OBA President Deborah Reheard, would have the case suspended within an hour of their initial phone conversation. That case proved to be the inspiration for the new Oklahoma Lawyers for America’s Heroes program that will provide more that $1 million dollars worth of f
