Deportation/Removal Defense
Have you received a "Notice to Appear" stating that you are removable (deportable) from the United States and that you must appear before an Immigration Judge? In many cases the charges against you can be challenged. You may have defenses available to you to prevent your deportation and possibly secure your U.S. immigration status. We have experience representing foreign nationals in immigration court and terminating deportation proceedings. If you are being charged with being removable for non-criminal reasons, please contact our office so that we can assess your deportation defense.
