The best defense for your case will depend on many things, including the reason why you are facing removal proceedings. There are many different reasons that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) might attempt to remove someone from the United States. Here are some of the most common situations:

• Overstaying a temporary visa
• Entering the U.S. illegally or without proper documents
• Being denied an application for asylum 
• Violating the terms of a U.S. visa or Green Card

No matter the reason, being placed in removal proceedings does not mean that deportation is inevitable. Our attorneys will examine the facts of your case, explain and explore all your options, and build a strategy that’s tailored to you. Common defenses and relief options include:

• Asylum or withholding of removal for individuals fearing persecution in their home country
• Adjustment of legal status based on a family or employment petition
• Waivers of inadmissibility to overcome certain grounds for removal
• Prosecutorial discretion or deferred action 
• Cancellation of removal for lawful permanent residents, or for non-permanent residents who meet certain criteria

In some cases, clients are detained during removal proceedings and have to request release through a bond hearing. Our attorneys will be there during this hearing to represent you, fighting for your release so you can continue your case while remaining with your family. If an immigration judge issues an unfavorable decision, we also handle immigration appeals, presenting strong arguments to higher authorities to give you another chance at a fair outcome. 

Every deportation case has its own requirements, deadlines, and risks. We’re here to guide you through these complexities and fight for the future you deserve. Most importantly, we’re committed to treating every client with dignity and respect, and acting as passionate advocates for your right to remain in the country you call home.
