DEPORTATION DEFENSE
Are you or someone you know in removal or deportation proceedings?
Do you want to stay in the United States and fight against removal?
Did you know that over 97% of people who are not represented by a good attorney in removal proceedings get deported, while the vast majority of people with competent legal representation in removal proceedings get to stay?
Proceedings
If the government has initiated removal proceedings, also known as deportation proceedings, against you, you stand to lose everything that you have built in the United States, including your home, your business, and your ability to be with your family.
Here are some things you should be aware of:
1) You could be detained for long periods of time and without bond by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
2) You have the right to an attorney, but unlike criminal court, there are no court-appointed attorneys. That means if you want or need an attorney, you will have to choose and pay for one yourself.
3) If you do not attend your immigration court hearing, you could be ordered deported in your absence. In other words, you do not have to be present in the hearing for the judge to issue a deportation order against you.
4) Even if you are in the country without legal status, this does not necessarily mean you must be deported. There are various forms of relief from deportation that may be available to you.
5) Not all attorneys who practice immigration law are competent to represent clients in immigration court. You should look for an attorney who has experience in deportation defense and who has a proven, successful record in immigration court.
How our Immigration Lawyers Can Help You.
If you are facing deportation, you’ll need a removal defense lawyer who understands the complexities of immigration law and has specific expertise in representing clients before the immigration judges.
With our firm, your attorney will accompany you to every court hearing and speak on your behalf. We will work with you to prepare the best defense strategy for your case.
The key to success in immigration court is having a lawyer who is experienced in removal proceedings and all types of relief for removal. Removal proceedings are very intensive and procedural, and every little detail matters. You must hire an attorney who knows the proper procedures and specific expectations of immigration judges, and who has demonstrated success in representing clients in these special proceedings. Our deportation defense lawyers are respected even by the judges and ICE attorneys who are seeking to deport you.
The attorneys at Weinstock Immigration Lawyers have successfully represented clients in immigration courts in Atlanta and throughout the U.S. for more than ten years. We know what to expect when appearing before an immigration judge and what types of relief you may be eligible for. We are experts in court procedures and familiar with immigration judges and ICE attorneys. If there is a way for you to avoid deportation, we will find it.
When you consult with our attorneys, we will analyze your immigration history and discuss with you your chances for avoiding deportation with all honesty. If you are detained, the attorney will explain the likelihood of getting you released on bond, which may affect your decision on how to proceed.
In the event that your case is not successful before the immigration judge, our attorneys are skilled at filing appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals, and if necessary, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Our firm is one of few immigration law firms that have accomplished successful results in immigration appeals before the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, as well as other appellate courts around the country.
If you have previously received a deportation order, we may be able to help you reopen the order so that you can apply for relief from removal. Call us today to find out what we can do to help you with your deportation case and your future in the United States.
