If you or a loved one is facing deportation, every moment counts. We provide aggressive defense in immigration court, including bond hearings to secure your release from detention, cancellation of removal for both permanent residents and non-permanent residents, asylum and withholding of removal claims, appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), motions to reopen and motions to reconsider, and voluntary departure negotiations when strategically appropriate. Our attorneys understand the procedural and substantive defenses available in removal proceedings and will fight relentlessly to keep you in the country.

We represent individuals fleeing persecution, violence, and dangerous conditions in their home countries. Our asylum practice covers affirmative asylum applications filed with USCIS, defensive asylum claims in immigration court, withholding of removal under the Immigration and Nationality Act, protection under the Convention Against Torture (CAT), and credible fear and reasonable fear interviews. We prepare thorough, well-documented applications supported by country condition evidence, expert declarations, and compelling personal testimony.

Keeping families together is at the heart of our practice. We handle spousal petitions (I-130) for U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents, parent and child petitions, fiancé(e) visas (K-1), adjustment of status (I-485) for those already in the United States, consular processing for those applying from abroad, removal of conditions on permanent residence (I-751), and waivers of inadmissibility (I-601 and I-601A) for those with prior immigration violations or other bars to admission. We guide families through every step—from the initial petition through the green card interview—with clear communication and meticulous preparation.

Becoming a U.S. citizen is one of the most important steps in an immigrant’s journey. We provide comprehensive guidance through the naturalization process, including eligibility assessment (especially for applicants with prior arrests or convictions), N-400 application preparation and filing, interview preparation and accompaniment, and appeals of denied citizenship applications. If you have a criminal history that may complicate your citizenship application, our crimmigration expertise ensures we address those issues proactively before they become a problem at your interview.

We help Dreamers maintain and protect their status through DACA initial applications for eligible individuals, DACA renewal filings to maintain legal status and work authorization, advance parole applications for authorized travel, and strategic counseling on alternative immigration pathways that may be available based on your individual circumstances. Given the ongoing legal uncertainty surrounding the DACA program, it is critical to work with an attorney who stays current on every legislative and judicial development that could affect your status.

If you have been the victim of a qualifying crime in the United States and assisted law enforcement in the investigation or prosecution, you may be eligible for a U-visa. We handle the full U-visa process, including law enforcement certification (I-918 Supplement B), I-918 petition preparation and filing, work authorization applications, and the path to permanent residency after U-visa approval. U-visas provide critical protection for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, and other serious crimes—regardless of your current immigration status.

VAWA allows victims of domestic abuse by a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse, parent, or adult child to self-petition for immigration relief without the abuser’s knowledge or cooperation. We help survivors file I-360 VAWA self-petitions, obtain work authorization and deferred action, pursue adjustment of status to permanent residence, and access public benefits available to VAWA-approved petitioners. This is a confidential process designed to protect survivors, and our attorneys handle every VAWA case with the sensitivity and discretion it requires.

Survivors of human trafficking—whether labor trafficking or sex trafficking—may qualify for a T-visa, which provides legal status, work authorization, and a path to permanent residency. We assist trafficking survivors with T-visa applications, access to federal and state benefits, and referrals to victim services organizations.

When a loved one is detained by ICE, every hour counts. We act fast to file bond motions in immigration court, argue for release based on community ties, employment, and family connections, challenge mandatory detention designations where applicable, and coordinate with criminal defense counsel on cases involving both criminal and immigration detention. Our goal is always to reunite families as quickly as possible while building the strongest possible defense for the underlying immigration case.

For military families and certain other qualifying individuals, parole in place may provide a pathway to legal status without leaving the United States. We evaluate eligibility, prepare applications, and advocate for approval in cases involving spouses, parents, and children of active-duty military members, veterans, and other qualifying applicants.

For individuals applying for immigrant visas from outside the United States, we manage the full consular processing timeline, prepare applicants for consular interviews, and handle waivers of inadmissibility (I-601, I-212) for those who face bars to entry due to prior deportation orders, unlawful presence, criminal history, or fraud findings.

Undocumented minors who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned by one or both parents may qualify for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status, which provides a path to a green card. We work with family courts to obtain the necessary predicate findings and guide young clients through every step of the SIJS and adjustment process.
