Deportation Defense

Received a Notice to Appear? Act Immediately.

A Notice to Appear (NTA) is a formal government document placing you in removal proceedings. Every day matters. Here is exactly what happens — and what we do to defend you.

Day 1 — Critical

You Receive the NTA — Call Us Immediately

The NTA lists the charges against you and a court date. Missing the hearing results in an automatic removal order in absentia. Do not wait — contact us the same day you receive this document.

We Do This

Case Review & Strategy

We review the NTA, assess all available defenses, identify grounds for relief, and begin building your case. We also evaluate bond eligibility if you are detained.

Immigration Court

Master Calendar Hearing

The first court appearance. We appear with you, enter your pleadings, and request time to prepare your case. This is not the final hearing — it is the scheduling conference.

We Do This

Evidence & Relief Application Preparation

We prepare your application for relief — cancellation of removal, asylum, adjustment, or other forms — with supporting documentation, declarations, and legal arguments.

Immigration Court

Individual (Merits) Hearing

The full hearing before the Immigration Judge. We present your case, examine witnesses, and argue your right to remain in the United States.

Best Outcome

Relief Granted — You Stay

The Judge grants your application for relief. If denied, we evaluate BIA appeal, federal court petition, or motion to reopen — every legal avenue remains open.

Forms of Relief Available in Removal Proceedings

There is no single defense that fits every case. We identify every form of relief you may qualify for and pursue the strongest available strategy.

Cancellation of Removal

For LPRs with 7 years lawful admission and 5 years as a green card holder. For non-LPRs with 10 years continuous presence, good moral character, and a qualifying U.S. citizen or LPR relative facing exceptional hardship.

Asylum & Withholding

If you face persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. Withholding of removal and CAT protection also available even if you missed the asylum deadline.

Adjustment of Status

If you have an approved immigrant visa petition and a visa is immediately available, you may be able to apply for a green card directly before the Immigration Judge — stopping the removal proceedings entirely.

Bond Hearing

If you or your family member is detained by ICE, we file for a bond hearing before an Immigration Judge. We present evidence that you are not a flight risk or danger to the community to secure release while your case is pending.

Motion to Reopen

If you have an existing removal order — whether from an in absentia hearing you missed or a past case — we evaluate whether new evidence, changed country conditions, or ineffective assistance of prior counsel justifies reopening.

BIA & Federal Court Appeals

If the Immigration Judge rules against you, the fight is not over. We appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals and, if necessary, file petitions for review in the federal Circuit Courts of Appeals.

Time Is Critical

Do Not Face Court Alone

Immigration court is an adversarial proceeding — a government attorney is arguing for your removal. Unrepresented individuals are far more likely to receive removal orders. Every deadline in immigration court is strict: missing a master calendar hearing, a filing deadline, or a document submission can result in an automatic removal order or waived rights that cannot be recovered.

Act Quickly: Immigration court deadlines are unforgiving. Missing a single hearing can result in an automatic removal order in absentia. If you or a loved one has received any immigration court notice — even an old one — contact us immediately. Time is critical: (424) 245-8588.
