Immigration
Asylum & Deportation Defense
Protection for people fleeing persecution and defense for those facing removal.
Overview
What this involves
For people who fear persecution in their home country, or who face removal from the United States, the stakes could hardly be higher. These cases require careful preparation, strong evidence and experienced advocacy.
We represent individuals seeking asylum and related protection, and people in removal proceedings before the immigration courts, including applications for relief, bond hearings and appeals. Immigration outcomes are decided by government agencies and courts, and no result can be guaranteed. We prepare every case thoroughly and tell you honestly how we see your prospects.
