Brooks Law Firm promotes Carl Hurvich to partner

Brooks Law Firm named senior associate Carl Hurvich a partner effective July 9, 2026, citing his immigration and civil rights litigation work. The move follows a June 2026 federal court win in a case challenging part of the State Department’s 75-country visa ban.

Why it matters: - Hurvich’s promotion elevates a lawyer who has handled high-stakes immigration and civil rights cases for clients facing detention, deportation, benefit denials and other barriers to lawful status. - The move underscores Brooks Law Firm’s focus on immigration litigation at a moment when federal court challenges can directly affect family unity, liberty and access to visas.

What happened: - Brooks Law Firm promoted senior associate attorney Carl Hurvich to partner, effective July 9, 2026. - The firm said the promotion reflects years of advocacy for immigrant communities and Hurvich’s rise as a leading immigration litigator in Massachusetts. - Hurvich said he is honored to take on the leadership role and wants to help channel the firm’s talent into continued client service.

The details: - Hurvich’s practice covers affirmative immigration matters, removal defense, detention and bond proceedings, federal litigation, and challenges to wrongful denials of immigration benefits. - His work has included litigation over the government’s authority to detain noncitizens and challenges to USCIS and Department of State policies. - Hurvich also advises on the immigration consequences of criminal convictions and pursues post-conviction relief. - The firm said Hurvich has taken on large, complex matters and multi-plaintiff mass actions from filing through resolution. - His recent wins include a June 2026 preliminary injunction in Ullah v. LaFave and Rubio, one of only two federal court orders in the country blocking the State Department’s 75-country visa ban. - Hurvich is continuing that challenge through a mass action in U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island. - Hurvich is licensed in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New York, and is admitted before the First Circuit Court of Appeals. - He has appeared before state and federal courts and before EOIR, USCIS and the Board of Immigration Appeals. - Hurvich graduated from Oberlin College and the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. - He earned First Place Oralist honors in the Monrad G. Paulson Moot Court Competition and trained in appellate advocacy and constitutional law through the Criminal Appeals and Civil Rights Clinic. - Brooks Law Firm is based in Medford and Framingham, Massachusetts, and serves clients across Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire. - The firm says it has 23 attorneys and 18 paralegals.

Between the lines: - The promotion appears to reward both courtroom results and internal leadership, including mentoring colleagues and shaping strategy on emerging immigration issues. - Hurvich’s federal injunction win suggests Brooks Law Firm is positioning itself as a serious player in broad legal challenges, not just individual immigration cases.

What's next: - Hurvich will continue leading complex immigration litigation and mass-action work for the firm. - Brooks Law Firm is likely to lean further on Hurvich’s experience as federal and administrative immigration disputes continue to evolve. - The ongoing Rhode Island case could extend the impact of the June 2026 visa-ban ruling for additional plaintiffs.

The bottom line: - Brooks Law Firm is betting on a litigator whose work already has produced notable federal court wins and who now moves into a bigger leadership role.
