Review the court record, upcoming deadlines, and legal options in removal proceedings.

Understand the proceedings

Removal proceedings are immigration proceedings, not a criminal trial. We review the Notice to Appear, prior filings and decisions, and hearing notices to understand the issues before the court. A possible defense or application for relief requires an individual legal evaluation.

Hearings and evidence

A master calendar hearing generally addresses procedural matters. An individual hearing may involve evidence and testimony on contested issues. Preparing for either stage requires attention to the court’s instructions and deadlines. Contacting the office does not postpone a hearing or stop removal.

Evaluate the available options

Depending on the record, the review may involve protection claims, family-related options, or other relief. The existence of a possible category does not establish eligibility. Prior orders, appeals, and motions to reopen require their own review.

Representation and testimony preparation

The office offers court representation and separate testimony-preparation sessions. The office also represents clients in immigration detention and bond matters. These services require separate evaluation and are included only when specified in the written engagement agreement. The agreement identifies the filings and hearings covered; appeals and reopening are not automatically included. Government fees are not included.
