Today was a memorable day for our client, Candido! We held the grand opening of his new restaurant, El Sabor Del Café, in Jersey City. Candido was honored to receive a congratulatory letter from President Barack Obama, who granted him clemency from an exceptionally harsh 49.5-year sentence. The restaurant features Spanish, American, and international cuisine and offers a la carte, catering, and delivery options. Congratulations, Candido!
Thank you to all who showed their support at today’s event: Senator Sandra Cunningham; Rolando Lavarro, Jr., Council President, Jersey City; Reverend Steffie Bartley, New Hope Memorial Baptist Church, The National Action Network; Roger Jones, JCETP Chairman; Reverend Idida Rodriguez, IGNITE Ministries; Pastor Joshua Rodriguez, The Cityline Church; Reverend Bolivar Flores and members of Ministerio El Sol Sale Para Todos Internacional, and Candido’s former coworkers from Jersey City’s Light Rail Café.
