Casa Cornelia Law Center Honors San Diego’s Jeff Sheriff

In the last two years, Sheriff has dedicated roughly 350 hours of pro bono legal service by taking cases through the Asylum and Children’s programs. In 2019, Sheriff was honored as a Pro Bono Publico awardee during Casa Cornelia’s 12^th Annual La Mancha Awards by virtue of his dedicated and high-quality work, flexibility and zealous representation of his clients.

“I am truly honored and humbled to be recognized as Distinguished Pro Bono Attorney of the Year by such an incredible organization like Casa Cornelia,” Sheriff said. “It brings me great joy to know that I am helping bring light and hope to the lives of vulnerable children and families who have been forcibly displaced in fear of persecution, and I am proud to be a part of this great effort.”

Casa Cornelia provides access to justice and pro bono legal services for vulnerable groups, including unaccompanied children, individuals seeking asylum and victims of crime who are served by the organization.
