Why Irini Bakallis deserves it

Nominated for

The Associate of the Year Award for an Outstanding Associate

Presented to an associate attorney who is making their mark early — demonstrating exceptional skill, commitment, and promise in the practice of immigration law. This award celebrates the next generation of leaders in the field.

I have seen firsthand how dedicated she is to her clients and her work, consistently balancing multiple time zones and long hours to support her team at Fragomen.
