Introducing Surina Techarukpong, our newest member of the Palmer Polaski team. Surina, an associate attorney, was a law clerk for the firm in the summer of 2022, between her second and third years at Northeastern School of Law, in Boston. Surina came to the firm with some business immigration experience from a previous internship, and spent the summer with us focusing primarily on supporting our attorneys with H-1bs, L-1s, O-1s and PERMs. This past summer, when our partner, Camila Palmer, was out on a three month sabbatical, Surina successfully carried her caseload (with the support of our amazing paralegal team) with grace. A quick study and now with over a year of experience, she has expanded her immigration practice to also representing families before USCIS, and asylum seekers and respondents in removal proceedings before the Immigration Court. In addition to being a focused and driven attorney, Surina has a warm, easy-going personality, she is adored by her colleagues, and is an exceptional baker, to boot! We are so grateful to have her with us.
