Sol Clark Award, the highest pro bono award given by the State Bar of Georgia to an individual.  Bobby received this award for his work in securing equal benefits under the Temporary Aid for Need Families program for legal immigrants.  He is a former board member of the Georgia Asylum and Immigration Network, and he continues to represent immigrants seeking asylum in the United States. \nBobby is active in the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association, which awarded him the Daniel K.
