Services
Deportation Defense
We provide aggressive legal representation in Immigration Court proceedings to prevent deportation. Our strategies include Cancellation of Removal, Motions to Terminate, and prosecutorial discretion requests. With experience in detained and non-detained cases nationwide, we fight to keep families together through all available legal avenues.
Family-Based Visas
Our firm handles family sponsorship petitions for U.S. citizens and permanent residents. We guide clients through the process of obtaining green cards for spouses, children, parents, and siblings, addressing complex issues like inadmissibility and visa retrogression while ensuring compliance with federal regulations.
Asylum Applications
We represent clients seeking asylum based on persecution fears due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or social group membership. Our services include preparing affirmative applications and defending clients in defensive asylum proceedings before Immigration Courts nationwide.
Canadian Immigration
Our cross-border practice assists Americans in Canada and Canadians in the U.S. We handle NAFTA visa applications, inadmissibility rehabilitation, and border enforcement issues, leveraging our Toronto office location and U.S.-Canada legal expertise to resolve complex immigration matters.
Post-Conviction Motions
We litigate motions to vacate convictions that create immigration consequences in New York State courts. Our practice addresses ineffective assistance of counsel claims and prosecutorial misconduct that affects immigration status, providing critical relief pathways for non-citizens.
