Sabrina Thompson didn’t enjoy her immigration law class and was
happy to discover crimmigration law (criminal defense +
immigration representation) to advocate for immigrants. Find out
how traffic law intersects with crimmigration law in Episode 72
of You Are A Lawyer.
Crimmigration law is an intriguing combination of criminal
defense and immigration law and Sabrina Thompson loves it. As the
daughter of immigrants (from St. Kitts and Haiti) Sabrina grew up
understanding the challenges of immigrants and wanting to
advocate for them.
After interning in prosecution offices, a criminal defense law
clinic at Howard University Law School changed everything for
Sabrina.
After working in the public defender’s office for five years,
Sabrina opened her own law firm where she specialized in criminal
defense, immigration, and traffic law. Yes, there is a space for
this kind of law (often called crimmigration law) and immigrants
face large challenges in the criminal justice system.
Find out why Sabrina loved practicing law and whether she enjoys
writing more than being in court.
