Doug Landau attends Legal Justice Center’s Immigration program at Rosslyn Sectrum in Arlington, Virginia, meets Manassas Chief of Police

Author John Grisham hosted a charity fundraiser in Arlington for the Legal Aid Justice Center. The event featured the story of the Immigration Resolution in Prince William County. Members of ABRAMS LANDAU and lawyers that we work with to help injured workers, their families and innocent victims of violence, prejudice and negligence attended a screening of the film “9500 Liberty” tonight at the Rosslyn Spectrum Theater. The film covered 2 years in the debate over immigration in Prince William County. John Grisham and Legal Aid lawyers spoke about the benefits of the Virginia Justice Center.

Doug Landau, who frequently tries cases in Manassas and Prince William County on behalf of people like those depicted in the documentary movie, was thrilled to be able to meet and thank Prince William County police Chief Charlie T. Deane. Loudoun Fairfax Injury Board member Landau told the Chief of Police that he admired his courage and consistency.

It is not easy to go against public opinion or tell elected officials what they do not want to hear. But Chief Deane did just that. He explained to the Prince William officials and crowded Manassas Hearing the expense and impracticality of of their anti-immigrant ordinances. Doug Landau was not alone in his praise and thanks for this courageous and upright law enforcement officer. A line of people started forming quickly around Prince William County police Chief Charlie Deane after the screening of the film “9500 Liberty.” As a former prosecutor, Landau appreciates Chief Deane’s service and courage and he hopes that the Chief is able to serve and guide Prince William County for many years to come.
