Serving the Stranger: Extending Hospitality Even Through Inhospitable Times

July 24, 2021

When the artist husband of renowned immigration lawyer Sheela Murthy suggested more than 25 years ago that she should freely give away detailed information on the then-nascent Internet, Murthy thought, “If I didn’t love this man, I’d think he wants to bankrupt me.” But heeding his instincts, Murthy Law Firm began pouring informational resources freely onto the web to help would-be immigrants navigate real-life issues not necessarily requiring professional legal advice. Having been frustrated by her own experience, Sheela reveled in the opportunity to help immigrants feel empowered and respected. And the firm’s website soon became the most visited law firm website in the world. She now runs the world’s pre-eminent U.S. immigration law firm. She has compassionately guided clients through the changes following 9/11 and then the 2016 Presidential election with deep hospitality and trusted relationships.
