Building a Strong Asylum Case
An important factor to understand is that asylum cases turn on credibility and corroboration in Florida. The declaration must be consistent with every other document in the record, and the legal theory that is particularly the definition of any proposed particular social group and must satisfy standards that continue to evolve. At our firm, we build the record with that scrutiny in mind and carefully consider the facts of your case, supporting documentation, country conditions, and any applicable legal standards to help present your claim clearly and effectively so you get the best results.
