deportation
If you have a deportation case or deportation order, you may be able to maintain / obtain lawful status or have your case closed. We defend individuals against deportation, demand release for those who are detained, and file motions and appeals for cases that have been denied.
asylum
If you suffered or fear you will suffer harm in your home country, you may be able to remain safely in the United States. We represent individuals in seeking asylum, in petitioning for their family members after winning asylum, and in applying for permanent residence based on asylum status.
crime victims
If you have been a victim of domestic violence or certain other crimes in the United States, you and some of your family members may be eligible for temporary visas and / or permanent residence. We can evaluate your eligibility for these benefits and help you apply for them.
complex cases
Even if you have been deported, have criminal convictions, or have always been undocumented, there may be ways for you to obtain lawful permanent residence in the United States. We assess your situation, advise you of your options, and create a course of action tailored to your needs.
our services
We represent detained and non-detained adults and children in their fight to obtain or maintain lawful status in the United States. We provide comprehensive services throughout every stage of the case, from preparing applications and appearing for hearings / interviews to appealing case denials. Our office is based in Florida, but we represent clients nationwide and abroad.
We also assist other immigration attorneys by offering consulting services for research, records review, and strategy planning, and writing services for briefs, motions, and memos.
BEWARE OF fraud
Only an attorney or a Department of Justice-accredited representative can provide legal advice or services in your immigration case. Do not receive assistance from "notarios"who are not qualified, as this can lead you to miss important deadlines, file incorrect forms, or file false claims, resulting in the denial of your case and / or deportation. If you believe you have been the victim of fraud, contact us for advice.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
Regardless of your immigration status, you have guaranteed rights under the Constitution, such as the right to remain silent when approached by immigration agents at home or in public, the right to have a lawyer represent you, and, in most cases, the right to a hearing to challenge a deportation order. Contact us to learn more about your rights or to connect us to a loved one if they are detained.
be prepared
Immigration law is very complicated and the rules often change. It is important to consult with an experienced attorney, before filing an application, when appearing before a judge, and to explore options if your case has been denied. In most cases, time is of the essence. The sooner you consult with us, the sooner we can assess your situation and provide a solution.
