Our national deportation law firm will help with any removal case anywhere in the U.S. Our deportation attorneys have been providing deportation defense for nearly 30 years. Our immigration attorneys will appear with you in all immigration court appearances. Of course this will include the initial or master calendar hearing.
Laws and regulations are changing all the time. Winning a deportation hearing takes years of experience. There are multiple grounds on what makes you removable from the U.S. If you are in immigration detention, our national immigration law firm can prepare and argue a motion for bond redetermination to get you out. We can also argue and submit during trial all the necessary evidence to try to win a cancellation of removal case. Even if you lose in immigration court, we can try to appeal the case to the board of immigration appeals.

AILA Arizona Chapter Chair Olivia Porter says that, at Eloy, “the courtrooms are very small and very confined,” which makes it “impossible to maintain six feet between every single person who is going to be in that room at the same time.”
