ANDREW TAHMORESSI

THE STORY

In July 2012, Lucid got involved in the case of Andrew Tahmooressi, a former U.S. Marine who’d been imprisoned in Mexico after accidentally crossing the border illegally. Lucid represented the family, utilized the press to catapult his case into the public eye, and worked with current and former members of congress to exert pressure on the Government of Mexico. Within sixty days of Lucid taking up the case, Tahmooressi was released.
