Nationwide Deportation Attorney

Serving Immigration Courts in Cleveland, and Charlotte, North Carolina 

On August 18, the Obama Administration announced it will form a high-level task force and review the approximately 300,000 pending removal cases. The task force will identify and administratively close removal proceedings against individuals found to be a "low" enforcement priority. Administrative closure is not a dismissal or termination, it simply "deactivating and putting the case on a shelf for a substantial period of time." The review process, will be jointly conducted by members of both the Departments of Justice (Executive Office of Immigration Review) and Department of Homeland Security, is intended to ease the tremendous backlog in the immigration courts. It is also designed to ensure that government resources are focused on cases involving the government's highest immigration enforcement priorities-such as public safety, national security and border security.

This is not a change in the law. This is a change in policy and how the government wants to handle removal cases. This memorandum does not create a right or benefit for foreign nationals. It merely means a delay in processing their cases. This may not be advantageous to some people. Contact your lawyer or contact us at 216.970.7102.

Any noncitizen (whether unlawfully present, present for temporarily or a lawful permanent resident of the United States) is subject to deportation (officially known as "removal" since 1996) for violation of immigration or criminal laws. Once an alien is deported for a removable offense, he or she may lose the right to return to the U.S. permanently, even as a visitor.

If you have received a Notice to Appear from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) or Customs and Border Protection (CBP), DO NOT WAIT. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. It is critical that you seek help from a knowledgeable deportation defense lawyer immediately.

The U.S. Constitution guarantees rights to everyone in the United States including citizens, noncitizens, immigrants and refugees.

But when it comes to immigration law, the situation is different. Immigration is a matter of administrative law, not criminal law. The rules and procedures are unique and complex and making it extremely important for anyone facing deportation or removal to obtain the assistance of a skilled deportation defense attorney.

Getting involved with a good deportation defense attorney early is also extremely important because time is of the essence. Sometimes resolutions to the simplest of immigration issues can take months or years depending on USCIS processing times.

You may be deported for many reasons, including but not limited to:

• Crimes of Moral Turpitude
  • Petty Theft
  • Forgery
  • Fraud
  • Money Laundering
• Aggravated Felonies
  • Robbery
  • Burglary
  • Kidnapping
  • Sexual Battery
• Drug possession & Drug Trafficking
• Domestic Violence
• Firearms Violations
• Violation of status
  • Overstaying a visa 
  • Failure to Register
  • Change of Address
• Failing to register or falsifying documents relating to entry into the U.S.
• Unlawful voting
• Illegally reentering the country (see also federal criminal defense)
• Encouraging or aiding any other alien to illegally enter the U.S.
• Engaging in activity endangering public safety or creating a risk of national security

Deportation Defense

My experience with deportation defense strategies includes aggressively defending the charges and forcing the government to meet their burden of proof. If the immigration judge finds the foreign national subject to removal, there is relief available in the form of adjustment of status, cancellation of removal, asylum and waivers for criminal conduct.

Your best defense is to hire a knowledgeable and tough-minded deportation/removal defense lawyer. That's me.
