The LHSCD team was recently able to celebrate (in person!) our now retired and much loved partner Jon Landau. Jon has been with our firm since 1985 and has represented successfully hundreds (maybe even thousands) of asylum seekers who can now live safely in the US with their family members. Jon’s sincere dedication and commitment to his clients is unparalleled and we will truly miss him. We were especially grateful that our firm’s founding partners, Peter Baumann and Karren DeSeve could join us for this very special event. Pictured are the original partners plus Jon, Nicole Simon, and our long-standing Office Administrator Maureen Kershaw who actually started with the firm even earlier than Jon! All the best to Jon with his retirement although he is actually still working, now as a substitute teacher with the Philadelphia School District. He recently taught his own granddaughter as well as Nicole’s two children. He is truly a remarkable man who won’t
rest even in retirement!
