Tenth Annual Immigrant Liberty Awards to Honor David Kolko with Pro Bono Service Award

The Colorado Chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (“AILA”) and the Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network (“RMIAN”) announced that they will present Managing Partner David Kolko with the Pro Bono Service Award at the 10th Annual Immigrant Liberty Awards on June 12, 2015.

Mr. Kolko will be honored for his efforts in coordinating pro bono efforts to respond to the on-going humanitarian and refugee crisis along our southern border. Throughout 2014 and 2015, in his capacity as Chapter Chair of the AILA Colorado Chapter, Mr. Kolko helped provide needed structure and coordination for volunteer attorneys to traveling to Artesia, New Mexico to meet with detained Central American women and children refugees. Mr. Kolko was also an integral part of the Colorado Bar Association’s agreement to match up to $50,000 in funding in to support RMIAN and provide legal representation to Unaccompanied Children in removal proceedings at the U.S. Immigration Court in Denver, Colorado.
