What is Deportation?
Deportation, or removal, is the legal process by which the U.S. government seeks to remove a foreign national from the country.
Deportation proceedings can be initiated for various reasons, including:
- Overstaying a visa
- Violating the terms of a visa
- Being convicted of a crime
- Being in the country unlawfully
- Immigration violations
If you have been placed in removal proceedings, it is crucial to understand your rights and seek skilled legal representation.
A deportation defense attorney can help prevent or delay deportation and may help you stay in the U.S. or even achieve lawful permanent resident status.

Here are the reasons why you need a trusted attorney to represent you:
- Protection of Rights: Our legal team ensures that your rights are fully protected throughout the process. You have the right to challenge deportation, and we will ensure those rights are upheld.

Why You Need an Experienced Deportation Defense Attorney
1. Cancellation of Removal
If you have been living in the U.S. for a certain number of years, you may be eligible to apply for cancellation of removal. To qualify, you must meet specific requirements, such as:
- Having been in the U.S. for at least 10 years.
- Being a person of good moral character.
- Demonstrating that your removal would cause exceptional hardship to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse, parent, or child.
Cancellation of removal can allow you to stay in the U.S. and potentially receive a Green Card. We will work closely with you to build the strongest case possible for cancellation.
2. Adjustment of Status
If you are in the U.S. without legal status but have a U.S. citizen or permanent resident family member who can sponsor you, you may be eligible for Adjustment of Status. This allows you to apply for a Green Card and become a lawful permanent resident without having to leave the U.S.
We can guide you through the process of adjusting your status and fighting your deportation case simultaneously, if applicable.
3. Asylum Defense
If you are facing deportation to a country where you fear persecution, you may qualify for asylum.
Asylum allows individuals to stay in the U.S. if they face a well-founded fear of persecution based on their:
- Race
- Religion
- Nationality
- Political opinion
- Membership in a particular social group
We will assess your asylum claim, gather evidence to support your fear of persecution, and present your case before an immigration judge.
4. Waivers of Inadmissibility
In some cases, a person facing deportation may be able to apply for a waiver of inadmissibility, which allows them to remain in the U.S. despite certain immigration violations or issues.
These waivers are available for a range of circumstances, including:
- Unlawful presence
- Criminal convictions
- Misrepresentation or fraud
We will help determine whether you qualify for a waiver and assist with the application process to increase your chances of success.
5. Deportation Defense Based on Family or Humanitarian Grounds
If you have U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident family members, you may be able to make a case for your deportation to be halted based on humanitarian grounds.
If you can demonstrate that deportation would result in extreme hardship to your family members, you may have an avenue to remain in the U.S.
We will help you build a case that shows the emotional and financial hardship that deportation would impose on your loved ones.

What to Expect During Deportation Defense Proceedings
When facing deportation, it’s important to understand the steps in the legal process:
- Notice to Appear (NTA): This is the document you receive when you are placed in deportation proceedings. It outlines the charges against you and the court hearing where your case will be heard.
- Immigration Court Hearing: This is where an immigration judge will review your case and make a determination. This is an opportunity for you to present your defense against deportation.
- Filing Motions: Your attorney may file motions to delay your removal, request a stay of deportation, or ask the judge to grant certain relief such as Cancellation of Removal or Adjustment of Status.
- Final Judgment: After your hearing, the judge will issue a decision. If the decision is in your favor, you may be allowed to stay in the U.S. If not, your attorney can explore your appeal options.
