Legal Guidance for Those Escaping Fear, Violence, or Persecution
Fleeing your homeland due to threats, violence, or political chaos is one of the most challenging decisions a person can face. If you’ve reached the United States seeking protection, your next move is critical, and the legal system doesn’t make it easy. That’s where we come in.
We at The Rochester Law Firm help refugees and asylum seekers at every stage of the legal procedure. Whether you are dealing with the complicated procedures of a political asylum application, preparing for a credible fear interview, or applying for asylum in the United States for the first time, our team is here to offer reliable, trauma-informed support and strong legal representation.
You need to show that going back to your home country would seriously endanger your safety in order to be granted asylum in the US:
You may apply for asylum affirmatively (before being placed in removal proceedings) or defensively (after being detained or facing deportation). Time limits and legal technicalities matter, so working with an experienced asylum lawyer in NYC could be the difference between staying safe and being sent back into danger.
With its complicated paperwork, crucial interviews, and tight deadlines, the US asylum system is frightening. We streamline the procedure and strongly stand by your rights.
Whether you’re fleeing political violence, religious persecution, or life-threatening danger, we know how to present your story with power, precision, and care.
Unlike asylum seekers, refugees typically apply for protection outside the US through a resettlement process. As a refugee protection attorney, we assist individuals and families through:
Under the direction of lawyer Roxanne Rochester, our firm combines firm advocacy with compassion. With deep experience supporting asylum seekers from across Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, and Eastern Europe, we understand the unique trauma and urgency our clients face.
We’ll never treat your case like a file number. You’ll receive direct, honest communication and a plan built specifically for your survival and long-term security.
Time is everything in asylum and refugee cases. Delays can mean denial or deportation, and we don’t want that for you.
Welcome to The Rochester Law Firm where experience meets compassion, and legal strategy meets life-changing outcomes.
