Thriving in America From a War-Torn Country At only 30 years old, another young man we represent had been beaten and tortured in a war-torn country in Eastern Europe. He bounced from country to country during his escape, seeking for anyone to grant him asylum, until the United States finally gave him that opportunity. He moved to New York, but then he was very badly hurt in a construction accident. With rock-solid determination during his recovery journey, his peculiar resilience allowed him to rebuild his family’s life as well as his own, despite the unspeakable adversity he’d lived through. The Diamond in the Rough When it comes to unspeakable adversity, one more client comes to mind. This client had grown up as a victim of both physical
and sexual abuse and dropped out of school in ninth grade — yet, he got married, had kids, and worked successfully in construction. That is, until he became our client due to a
terrible accident. He had several surgeries, and afterward, he needed to be evaluated on behalf of the defendants by a vocational rehabilitation specialist. I sat next to him as he performed various tests relating to math and practical problem-solving. Despite never attending most of high school, I was stunned by how successful he was at their tests. These questions were so difficult that I’d struggle just to get one answer right! Although he lacked the opportunity in life to fulfill his potential sooner, his intelligence and resilience remain core components to his success, even after his case.
Most sane and reasonable people would never be able to withstand what these clients have had to endure — thankfully, these clients are not just sane and reasonable. They’re peculiar because they’re also incredibly courageous. For those of them reading this newsletter now, I want to thank you for allowing us to be part of your incredible, inspiring stories.
