Atlas

The second theme incorporated into the Hashmi Law Firm, P.L.C. logo is the image of Atlas the Titan from Greek mythology. Atlas is typically depicted as a male figure hunched over holding up a globe. It is said that Atlas served humanity by bearing the weight of the world on his shoulders for all eternity. The Greek myth evolved into an association of all international things related to maps or globes or travel with the symbol of Atlas.

If you look closely, the "H" in Hashmi is depicted with elongated, curved serifs that cup the base of the globe, almost holding up the Unisphere, similar to the familiar image of Atlas. The stories of many of the Hashmi Law Firm, P.L.C. clients are a difficult burden to bear, given the shortage of legal remedies and pathways for lawful admission into the United States and the incredibly difficult circumstances existing in other countries. In assisting immigrant clients from all walks of life, considerable amounts of skill, patience and time are required, akin to the load of Atlas.

Just as Atlas served his purpose for the betterment of the world, Attorney Hashmi prides herself on working for the rights of those in need of legal counsel, particularly immigrants. Her first-hand experiences as an immigrant and minority in the United States initiated her life long quest to help others like her. Growing up as the child of immigrants, early on she mastered the skill of building cultural bridges between her American school, Pakistani and Tanzanian parents at home, and family overseas. While the work is arduous and complex, Attorney Hashmi finds that working through the legal plight of immigrants to help them build their own bridges in America is truly satisfying.

Without the assistance of skilled immigration lawyers, immigrants would be left floundering in a new system with harsh rules and even harsher consequences. In a sense, the Hashmi Law Firm, P.L.C. is holding up the world in this age of globalization, travel and technology, by helping and supporting each new client in their quest for the American Dream.

The determination of the need for legal services and the choice of a lawyer are extremely important decisions and should not be based solely upon advertisements, certification, specialization or self-proclaimed expertise. A description or indication of limitation of practice does not mean that any agency or board has certified such lawyers as specialist or expert in an indicated field of law practice nor does it mean that such lawyer is necessarily any more expert or competent than any other lawyer. All potential clients are urged to make their own independent investigation and evaluation of any lawyer being considered. These disclosures are required by the Supreme Court of Iowa.
