· Helena Independent Record · By Thom Bridge · From the Border Crossing Law Firm media archive.
The Helena Independent Record's front page announces the launch of Open Borders, describing it as a free, TurboTax-style immigration guide available in English and Spanish. The story traces Shahid Haque's path from law-school asylum work to a Montana practice and explains how he spent years translating his consultation process into an online tool that could identify possible immigration options while encouraging users to seek qualified legal advice.
The front-page coverage recognized a significant change in the firm's public role: knowledge developed through years of one-to-one representation was becoming a statewide and national legal-education resource.
