Facing removal proceedings? Don't face the immigration court alone. Our experienced deportation defense attorneys fight aggressively to keep you and your family in the United States.
Deportation, formally known as "removal," is the legal process by which the U.S. government orders a non-citizen to leave the country. Removal proceedings take place in immigration court before an immigration judge and can result from visa violations, criminal convictions, unlawful presence, or other grounds of inadmissibility or deportability.
Every deportation case is unique. We develop a customized defense strategy tailored to your specific circumstances.
We review your case immediately, analyze your Notice to Appear, and identify all possible defenses available to you.
We gather evidence, prepare declarations, obtain expert witnesses, and build the strongest possible case for relief.
We represent you at every hearing before the immigration judge, presenting your case and cross-examining government witnesses.
If the judge denies relief, we can appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and federal courts to protect your rights.
There are several forms of relief that may prevent your removal from the United States. We explore every option.
For long-term residents who can demonstrate 10+ years of continuous presence, good moral character, and exceptional hardship to qualifying U.S. citizen or permanent resident relatives.
If you face persecution in your home country based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or social group, you may qualify for asylum as a defense to removal.
In some cases, we can persuade ICE to exercise prosecutorial discretion to close or terminate your case, especially for low-priority cases or sympathetic circumstances.
If you or a loved one is detained, we fight for bond to secure release while your case is pending. We present evidence of community ties and lack of flight risk.
We file appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals, motions to reopen or reconsider, and petitions for review in federal circuit courts when necessary.
Voluntary departure, withholding of removal, Convention Against Torture (CAT) protection, adjustment of status, waivers, and U-Visa/VAWA claims raised as defenses.
Contact an immigration attorney immediately. An NTA means the government has begun removal proceedings against you. Do not ignore it — failing to appear in court will result in an automatic order of removal. An experienced lawyer can review your case and identify defenses before your first hearing.
Yes. Lawful permanent residents can be placed in removal proceedings for certain criminal convictions, fraud, abandonment of status, or other grounds of deportability. However, green card holders often have more options for relief, including cancellation of removal for permanent residents, which has different requirements than for non-permanent residents.
The timeline varies significantly depending on the immigration court, the complexity of your case, and the type of relief you are seeking. Cases can take anywhere from a few months to several years. During this time, if you are not detained, you may continue living and working in the U.S. with proper authorization.
If you have an outstanding removal order, you may be subject to arrest and removal at any time. However, depending on your circumstances, we may be able to file a motion to reopen your case, especially if there has been a change in the law, new evidence, or if you were not properly notified of your hearing. Time is critical — contact us immediately.
