When you’re facing deportation, everything can feel uncertain; your family, your job, and your life in the U.S. may be at risk. But with the relevant legal strategy and representation, you can fight to remain in the country. At our New York law firm, we provide aggressive and compassionate deportation defense to individuals and families navigating the complex world of immigration court.
Led by a dedicated deportation defense attorney in NYC, our team helps you stop removal proceedings, apply for relief, and advocate for your rights before the EOIR (Executive Office for Immigration Review).
Deportation and removal defense involves representing noncitizens who have been placed in immigration court and are at risk of being removed (deported) from the United States. These cases are heard in the EOIR immigration court, where a judge decides whether or not the government has the legal grounds to deport you.

If you qualify for a green card through a relative or employer, we may request that your case be paused while USCIS processes your application.
If DHS made legal errors in your Notice to Appear or evidence collection, we may request dismissal of your case.
