Dan Kowalski with the sad news from LexisNexis Immigration Community:
Immigration Law
29 Jun 2020
Robert A. Mautino, 1937-2020
Another giant in our professional forest has fallen. Among other things, Bob will be remembered for his mastery of the laws of citizenship by acquisition.
Here is a link to a 2010 interview with Bob, and here is a link to a biography by his family. A photo of Bob is here.
The encomiums are flooding my inbox. Angelo A. Paparelli said, “Bob was a warm-hearted giant, an encyclopedia of immigration law, a gentle and genial humanitarian. Every encounter I had with him helped me be a better immigration lawyer and person.”
*************************
I remember from my private practice days that Bob was always ready for a free consult on a “citizenship stumper.”
R.I.P., my friend and colleague! Fairness, scholarship, timeliness, respect, and teamwork, you did it all and inspired younger generations to do likewise!
