Pawar, Santosh K

As a proponent of equality, I use my firm as a platform to empower women by using knowledge of the legal system to enforce their civil liberties. I have found that while the legal system advocates justice and unalienable rights, the reality is that this information is not always accessible to people who can use it the most. I have supported numerous survivors of spousal abuse by assisting them in obtaining permanent resident status under the “Violence Against Women Act.” I am also an active volunteer attorney for Volunteer Legal Services Project of Monroe County.
