If you've been placed in immigration court or received a Notice to Appear, removal proceedings have begun. Being proactive matters now. If you don't yet have a plan or know your options for relief, this is the time to build one.
Read MoreDetention moves quickly, and so should you. We work to secure release through bond and stand with detained clients through every stage that follows.
Read MoreBeing harmed by a loved one, being the victim of a serious crime, or being persecuted in your home country may open a path to protection through asylum, VAWA, U visa, and others.
Read MoreA denial isn't always the end. For some cases, appeals before the Board of Immigration Appeals, motions to reopen or reconsider, and re-entry after removal remain options worth exploring.

I'm an advocate. To me, that means making sure you hear what you need to hear, not what you might want to hear. If I see no relief, I'll tell you. I invite second opinions, and whether your case is strong or a long shot worth fighting, I'll be straight with you about where we stand.
