Bryan Lonegan spent 18 years at the Legal Aid Society in New York City where he was the only pro bono lawyer available to non-citizen New Yorkers who were detained and facing deportation because of their criminal records. He also started a hotline to provide information and advice to the families of people arrested by immigration authorities.
Currently a visiting clinical professor at the Center for Social Justice, Seton Hall University School of Law, where he supervises a Human Rights and Immigrant Workers Clinic that has represented asylum seekers from Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan, and Turkey, Bryan is also developing a program to provide legal assistance to day laborers who have been cheated of their wages. The author of Immigration Detention and Removal: A Guide for Detainees and Their Families, Bryan is also active in a program started by Seton Hall Law School dean Patrick Hobbs which supports a struggling Catholic law school in Haiti.
Bryan's great-grandfather Patrick Lonegan came to the U.S. in the late 1800's and worked as a horse trainer for the NYPD. Bryan is married to Mary Kuehn and the father of Arthur Lonegan II.
