Deportation Defense

If you are facing removal proceedings, time is critical. Timely legal representation can be the difference between remaining in the United States and being separated from your family.

Common Grounds for Deportation

• Entry without authorization
• Criminal violations (including certain misdemeanors)
• Immigration fraud
• Membership in prohibited organizations
• Visa violations
• Failure to maintain lawful status

Your Rights in Removal Proceedings

• Right to a hearing before an immigration judge
• Right to be represented by an attorney (at your own expense)
• Right to review and challenge the evidence against you
• Right to appeal an unfavorable decision

Available Defense Options

Depending on your situation, you may be eligible for various forms of relief:

• Cancellation of Removal: For individuals who have been in the U.S. for more than 10 years, have good moral character, and have a qualifying relative who would suffer exceptional and extremely unusual hardship if they were deported.
• Suspension of Deportation: For lawful permanent residents with certain criminal histories.
• Asylum or Humanitarian Protection: If you are fleeing persecution or torture.
• Criminal Defense Strategies: In some cases, resolving criminal matters can assist with deportation defense.
