When to call a deportation lawyer

Call as soon as you receive a Notice to Appear, if you or a loved one is detained, if you have a scheduled immigration court hearing, or if a removal order has already been entered. The sooner we are involved, the more options there usually are.

If a family member is in detention, timing matters even more — a bond request and a strong early strategy can make the difference between fighting your case from home and fighting it from custody.

Defenses against removal

Depending on your history, defenses can include cancellation of removal, asylum and related protection, adjustment of status, waivers of inadmissibility, and prosecutorial-discretion arguments. If an order was already entered, a motion to reopen or an appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals may be available.

Every case is different. We review your full immigration and criminal history, identify the strongest available defense, and build the record the court needs to see.

Frequently asked questions

Can a lawyer stop a deportation?

A lawyer cannot guarantee any outcome, but many people in removal proceedings have real defenses — such as cancellation of removal, asylum, adjustment of status, or a waiver — and an order can sometimes be challenged through a motion to reopen or an appeal. The right strategy depends on your specific history, which is what we assess at your consultation.

What should I do if I receive a Notice to Appear?

Do not miss any hearing date, and speak with an immigration attorney as soon as possible. Missing a hearing can lead to a removal order entered in your absence. Bringing your paperwork to a consultation early gives you the most options.

Can I get out of immigration detention on bond?

In many cases a detained person can request release on bond. Eligibility and the amount depend on the facts, and a well-prepared bond request can significantly improve the result. We act quickly on detention cases.

How much does a deportation defense lawyer cost?

Removal defense is quoted as a flat fee after we understand the posture of your case. A one-hour consultation is $175, and payment plans are available for qualifying clients.
