Deportation defense
Text Box: DEPORTATION DEFENSE If someone is deported from the United States that person is barred from reentering the United States in any capacity for between 5 and 20 years. If the person does reenter they can be charged with the federal crime of reentry after a prior deportation that carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison. In that the effects of a deportation are so severe, if you have been placed in removal proceedings, it is almost always my advice to fight the deportation. I have had three of my cases that looked hopeless at the beginning but that we ended up winning because of a change of circumstances or a change in the law that occurred during proceedings. If you or you have a relative who is in immigration custody or has been ordered to appear at the Immigration Court please fill out the attached form click here and set a time for a consultation with me regarding your possible case.
