Deportation and Removal

The Firm devotes a large part of its practice to the defense of individuals in deportation and removal proceedings. We have extensive experience with all forms of waivers and other forms of relief from deportation, including applications for cancellation of removal for lawful and non-lawful permanent residents, applications for 212(c) relief, suspension of deportation, applications for political asylum and withholding of removal, applications under the Violence Against Women Act and voluntary departure. The firm also has significant in experience in successfully reopening immigration proceedings where an individual has previously been ordered deported. We have obtained much success in filing Motions to Reopen based on in absentia orders, Motions to Reopen based on changed country conditions or changed circumstances, Motions to Reopen for Ineffective Assistance of Counsel, and Joint Motions to Reopen in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security. We pride ourselves on developing comprehensive and aggressive strategies to prevent deportation and obtain permanent residency for those who wish to remain permanently in the United States.
