Law Clerk

Crismelly is currently a law clerk at The Law Offices of Lloyd E. Bennett Esq., P.C.. Her passion for immigration law is rooted in her own immigration story.

She conducted initial screenings of the clients, drafted legal memos in support of clients’ motions, and assisted in other stages in the representation of children who are now lawful permanent residents.

Crismelly worked as an immigration paralegal for eight years at a well-respected solo practitioner firm in Rockland County, NY while attending school. She also volunteered as a Spanish interpreter for multiple non-profit immigration organizations that provide free legal services to foreign nationals, such as CUNY Citizenship Now, Make the Road NY, and AL Otro Lado.
