What Does A Deportation Lawyer Do?

Before your removal hearing, a deportation lawyer will review the charges against you and determine their relevance. They will also check to see if your life circumstances warrant defending against deportation.

Even though you have read about some of the issues related to immigration law, it might not be apparent to you that these matters have complex details. If the charges against you are false, the deportation lawyer can argue that the judge should dismiss them. For instance, they can argue that the crime charged to you did not meet the removability requirements of U.S. immigration laws. 

They can also argue that you are a U.S. citizen because of the actions of your parent or grandparent. They can additionally ask the judge to grant them asylum. A close family of a U.S. citizen or a preferred relative may be granted a Green Card.

Cancellation Of Removal & Deportation

If you are planning on applying for cancellation of removal, you must show that you have a good moral character and have been living in the U.S. for a long time. You can also ask the DHS or the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to exercise prosecutorial discretion and allow you to remain in the country. It can help you to avoid being deported and for them to focus on other individuals who threaten the U.S.

Even if you believe that you might be able to qualify for one of these applications or defenses, an attorney can still help you make the strongest possible argument. They will help prepare exhibits, draft legal arguments, and prepare witnesses for the hearing.

Having the necessary information on file will help you make an informed decision regarding your appeal. It is the only chance to present your arguments and testify before the immigration judge. Unfortunately, appeals only give you a whole new opportunity to present some of your arguments.
