Congratulations to our client from Uzbekistan who was granted Lawful Permanent Resident status, pictured here with his attorney, PIC Partner Ricky Palladino.

Philadelphia, PA, February 15, 2024, PIC Partners Christopher M. Casazza and Caitlin Costello of Palladino, Isbell & Casazza, LLC (“PIC Law”) achieved a substantial victory for our client in a published case before the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (the federal court directly below the Supreme Court).

The decision, issued on February 13, 2024, sets a significant precedent for Convention Against Torture (“CAT”) applicants.

The Third Circuit agreed with Partner Caitlin Costello’s arguments that the BIA and the Immigration Court failed to consider crucial evidence favorable to our client’s claim, which established that he was likely to face torture upon return.

This decision not only helps our client who was the subject of the litigation but will help future immigrants who are litigating their claims for Political Asylum, Withholding of Removal and Relief under the Convention Against Torture.

PIC Partner Ricky Palladino was recently quoted in the Philadelphia Inquirer on Danelo Cavalcante.

Ricky's quote from the article:

"Still, attorneys say it’s in the justice system’s interest to keep some of the most serious offenders on U.S. soil, as their home country is under no obligation to mete out prison time for crimes committed elsewhere. Palladino said it’s a way to ensure justice for the victims of serious crimes and their families.

'The victim’s family would also have an interest in making sure that he served his full sentence because some people would argue that if he’s sent back, he’s given a new lease on life,'said Palladino."

We encourage you to read the full article to learn more.

Why Danelo Cavalcante wasn’t deported after his conviction Danelo Cavalcante, 34, stabbed his former girlfriend of two years dozens of times in front of her two young children in 2021. Some residents have asked why he wasn't deported after his conviction.

In observance of Labor Day, our offices will be closed Monday September 4, 2023 and will reopen on September 5, 2023 at 9:00AM. We wish you and your families a safe and happy holiday!
