A staunch advocate for immigrants' rights, Ms. Schwartz has devoted extensive pro bono service to the Political Asylum Project of Austin (PAPA), assisting vulnerable clients with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) claims. She is an active member in good standing of the State Bar of Texas, the American Immigration Lawyers Association, and the Houston Bar Association, offering multilingual client advocacy in English, Spanish, French, and Italian.
