Ou te resevwa yon Avi pou Parèt. Dat tribinal ou ap vini. Gouvènman an vle ou ale. Nou goumen kont ICE nan tribinal, nou jwenn chak opsyon pou kenbe ou isit la, e nou pa abandone jiskaske ka a fini.
Time Is Critical
If you've received a Notice to Appear, deadlines begin immediately. Missing a hearing can result in an automatic deportation order.
How People End Up Here
You're not the first person in this situation. Here's what usually triggers removal proceedings—and why it doesn't mean you're out of options.
Visa Overstay
Your visa expired. Life happened. Now they want you gone.
Criminal Conviction
A mistake—sometimes years ago—can trigger deportation even if you have a green card.
Entry Without Inspection
You came in without going through a checkpoint. They found out.
Immigration Fraud
Something on an application wasn't right. Now they're coming after you.
Failed to Maintain Status
You worked when you weren't supposed to, or violated visa terms somehow.
Denied Application
You applied for something immigration-related. It got denied. Now you're in proceedings.
Ways to Stay
Being in removal proceedings doesn't mean you have to leave. There are legal ways to fight this. Here's what we look for in your case.
Cancellation of Removal
You've been here for years. You've built a life. Your family depends on you. If you can prove you've been here long enough, lived right, and that your deportation would devastate U.S. citizen or permanent resident family members—we can fight for you to stay.
Key Requirements
Asylum & Withholding
You can't go back. Sending you home would put you in danger. Even in deportation proceedings, you can claim protection if you fear persecution. We've won these cases for people who thought they had no options.
Key Requirements
Adjustment of Status
You have a way to get a green card—through a spouse, parent, employer, or something else. Sometimes we can get your deportation case stopped while you pursue that, or get the green card right there in court.
Key Requirements
Voluntary Departure
Sometimes leaving on your own terms is better than being deported. No formal removal order. No automatic bars to coming back. If we can't win, this might be the best way to protect your future options.
Key Requirements
What's Going to Happen
You're scared because you don't know what comes next. Here's exactly how this works—so you can stop guessing.
The Government Files Papers Against You
You get a Notice to Appear listing why they want you out. We read every word. Sometimes there are mistakes we can use.
First Court Date
You go before a judge. We tell the court what relief you're seeking and set up the schedule. This is strategy—we're already fighting.
We Build Your Defense
Documents. Witnesses. Expert reports. Evidence that proves you deserve to stay. We prepare everything the judge needs to see.
The Real Hearing
This is the trial. You testify. Witnesses testify. The government attacks your case. We defend it. Everything rides on this day.
If We Lose, We Appeal
A bad decision isn't the end. We take it to the Board of Immigration Appeals. If needed, we go to federal court. We don't give up.
People Without Lawyers Lose
According to the American Immigration Lawyers Association, immigrants with legal representation are up to 5 times more likely to win their cases than those without. The system is built for lawyers. Removal proceedings under INA § 240 (8 U.S.C. § 1229a) are adversarial. The government has a trained attorney. Trying to navigate it alone is like showing up to surgery and doing it yourself.
In over 20 years of practice, we've won cases with criminal convictions. Multiple charges. Prior deportation orders. Cases that looked hopeless. We know where to look for options that other people miss.
Your Court Date Is Coming. Are You Ready?
Every day you wait is a day less to prepare. Every missed deadline is a chance lost. Call us now. Let's figure out if there's a way to fight this.
