Defending the Vulnerable – An Immigration Lawyer’s Story! The rewards of immigration advocacy work with immigration lawyer Shirish Chotalia (podcast)

​At times foreign nationals face injustices within the immigration system that simply cry out for redress. When all hope seems lost, courageous immigration lawyers, such as Shirish Chotalia, step in when no one else can. In this episode of the Canadian Immigration Podcast, Shirish shares some amazing stories and even better insight into the world of immigration advocacy….and even better yet, she has inspired me (and hopefully will inspire you as well) to consider taking on difficult immigration cases where the, at times, cruel nature of Canadian immigration law and policy rears its ugly head.

I highly recommend her to others. "  G. S. B, August 2016
