Happy Holidays from Schwartz & Sheehan!

It has been a long, difficult year for many, but we hope that this holiday season brings some much-needed light, hope, and peace into your life (albeit distanced, masked, and sanitized).

To the medical, grocery, emergency services, and other essential workers who will be on duty this Christmas or New Year’s Eve, we thank you for giving your time and energy to help others this holiday season. For those who have lost loved ones this year, we hope you are able to find comfort in the midst of your grief.

We wish you all a merry Christmas, a happy Channukah, a joyous Kwanzaa, a blessed Solstice, or simply a warm, love-filled December and end of the year. However you celebrate and whomever you are celebrating with this year, we hope you have a meaningful holiday season.

In observance of the Christmas holiday, our office will be closed on Thursday, December 24th and Friday, December 25th 2020.

We resume normal business hours on Monday, December 28th. If you have a question about your case or would like to schedule a consultation with Brittan or Mary Beth, you may contact us at (425) 374-1681.

Giovanna, Julie, Mary Beth, and Brittan

Thanksgiving Week

In observance of the Thanksgiving holiday, our office will be closed on Thursday, November 26th and Friday, November 27th, 2020.

We recognize that this may be a difficult week for many people.

For many who are native to this land, the colonial roots of this holiday are a reminder of a long history of violence, disenfranchisement, and pain.

For those who are undocumented, have family members and friends who are undocumented, or live in communities that are not welcoming to immigrants, this national holiday may bring feelings of exclusion or other-ness.

For all those who are separated from loved ones at this time, whether across international borders or because of necessary safety measures during the COVID-19 pandemic, this week may bring feelings of loneliness and loss. Our hearts go out to all those who may be struggling during this holiday week.

We also take this time to reflect on all we are grateful for in the midst of a difficult year.

We are grateful for the immigrants in this country and the essential, challenging, and often unrecognized work that they do: for the farmworkers that bring food to our tables, construction workers who build homes and businesses, domestic workers who care for children and the elderly, medical workers who treat the ill and promote good health, teachers who educate the next generation, small business owners who bring goods and services to others, and all those who create positive change in their communities.

We know how important high-quality legal representation is for immigrants’ cases, and we are grateful for the opportunity to serve our clients and support them through their legal processes.

We are grateful for laws and federal programs that welcome new immigrants to this country, and we hope to see more families reunited and DREAMers protected in the coming months.

And this year in particular, we are grateful for all of the people who are helping to keep others healthy, treat the sick, and keep our society functioning during this pandemic. 

We wish everyone a safe and healthy Thanksgiving holiday.

Our office will be closed on Thursday the 26th and Friday the 27th, but we resume normal business hours on Monday, November 30th, 2020.
