Removal Defense
We provide you with a straight-forward assessment of your eligibility for relief from removal, and provide the strongest possible defense in removal proceedings. We educate you about your rights, determine the best strategy for protecting your ability to remain in the U.S., and work on securing the most favorable results in proceedings before an Immigration Judge. We can assess whether you qualify for LPR statues or for a deferred action program.

ncellation of Removal and Adjustment of Status for Non-LPRs: A foreign national who has resided in the United States for 10 years, can show good moral character, warrants positive discretion, has not been convicted of a crime of moral turpitude, and can establish that his removal would result in exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to his or her USC or LPR spouse, parent or child may seek cancellation of removal and adjustment of status to Legal Permanent Resident status in immigration court.
