Deportation Defense

Proceedings in Immigration Court are often very complicated. Respondents who are represented by an attorney have a higher likelihood of a successful outcome to obtain relief in the form of a lawful immigration status or to at least avoid deportation. Successful outcomes for certain individuals may be obtained in immigration proceedings in the following ways, among others:

• Asylum
• Withholding of Removal
• Protection pursuant to the Convention Against Torture (CAT)
• Cancellation of Removal
• Suspension of Deportation or Special Rule Cancellation of Removal pursuant to the Violence Against Women Act
• Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act (NACARA)
  • Certain individuals from Guatemala, El Salvador, and former Soviet Bloc countries may be eligible.
• Adjustment of Status
• Prosecutorial Discretion
• Defects in the Notice to Appear
• Voluntary Departure
• Waivers (212(c); 212(h); 601a)
