As the firm’s New York pro bono fellow, Pradine assists low-income clients with civil pro bono matters, dividing her time between clients at Kids in Need of Defense (KIND) and the Legal Aid Society in New York City. Her practice focuses exclusively on pro bono guardianship, family law and immigration matters.

Pradine advises migrant youth, including unaccompanied children, on potential immigration relief applicable to their circumstances. For these youth, relief is often rooted in claims for asylum or special immigrant juvenile status. She concentrates on identifying and assisting clients with the preparation and presentation of these and other claims. Pradine’s representation of youth includes appearances before New York State Family Court, the Executive Office for Immigration Review (Immigration Court), as well as the US Citizenship and Immigration Services. 

Prior to joining the firm, Pradine served as an agency attorney for the New York City Police Department, as well as a senior program associate for the Vera Institute of Justice.
