On this week's episode, the ladies talk to Danney Salvatierra an Immigration attorney at Human Rights Agency in New York City!
Before law school Danney worked for 5 years as a paralegal. And before that she attended Florida international University where she majored in political science. While working she knew she didn’t like personal injury, but fell in love with criminal defense law. After quitting her job, she took 6 months to study for the LSAT and applied to New York Law School!
She tells the ladies how she made a lot of friends her 1st year, but sadly lost her scholarship at the end of it. So when it came to 2nd year, she knew she had to make some changes! After developing better time management skills she saw a huge improvement in her grades.
Her story doesn’t stop there! After graduation, like many other students, she began to study for the bar. But she didn’t study the way she needed and ended up not passing the 1st time. As she studied for the 2nd time with a coaching company - Vinco Prep, she started to notice something wasn’t quite right. After going to the doctor she found out she had a stomach ulcer. She continued to study and even though she didn’t pass she was proud of a *HUGE* jump in her score. Then 3rd time studying and cue the pandemic. Her mom and brother got covid in the middle of her studying and it all hit Danney really hard! BUTTTT Danney passed the bar in a pandemic and is now an Attorney!
She talks about how she was hesitant to work in immigration law because of her past and the emotions it brought back. But because of her drive to help people she was drawn toward immigration law and now practices that today!
