Removal Proceedings

If you or a loved one are going through removal proceedings in Florida, it is absolutely essential that you contact an experienced immigration attorney to take your case as soon as possible. These situations are time-sensitive and require an aggressive approach in order to maximize your chances of a successful outcome. US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, under the Department of Homeland Security, have begun to take a much more aggressive approach under the Trump administration in terms of removal proceedings and the pursuit of undocumented immigrants in the United States. While organizations like the ACLU have filed extensive lawsuits against the administration for a variety of issues that they perceive as violations to immigrants’ rights, there is no better short-term solution for your own situation than to partner with an attorney.

Contact us today for an initial consultation, and start building your case with an experienced immigration attorney in Florida as soon as possible in order to create a comprehensive defense and effective strategy. Our team takes immigration issues very seriously and will be proud to take your case. 

Preparing For Removal Proceedings

Florida has seen an unprecedented spike in immigrant arrests, even those without prior criminal records. In fact, Florida has seen a 7x increase in arrests of undocumented immigrants since the end of the Obama administration, an increase that is far higher than most other areas in the United States. In the final year of Obama’s presidency, Florida (including Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands) had 468 arrests of undocumented immigrants who did not have prior criminal records. In 2018, there were 3,224 arrests of undocumented immigrants without prior criminal records. As you can see, this is a growing problem and one that needs to be met with aggressive immigration defense cases with experienced attorneys.

If you either suspect that you will soon go through removal proceedings, or if they have already begun, then the most essential thing to do is to contact an immigration lawyer immediately. The longer you wait to begin working with an attorney, the lower your chances of a successful outcome will be. From there, your attorney will be able to guide you through the process step by step, ensuring that you are taking all of the right actions to help your case.

Attending Your Initial Hearing

After you get notice to appear for a deportation hearing, you will need to make plans to make your appearance. Simply having a hearing does not mean that you will be deported, but you must work with an immigration lawyer to make certain that you have all of the necessary information and documentation that will maximize your chances of a good outcome. At the initial hearing, the judge will make a determination about the next steps that they will take. If they are unable to find good reason to deport you, then they will not be able to proceed with removal. This is becoming an increasingly difficult case to make under the Executive Orders passed by the Trump Administration, but we will work as hard as possible to find a solution.

Contact Us Now

Contact the Florida Immigration Law Counsel as soon as possible if you have received a notice to appear for a deportation hearing so that we can start working on your case immediately. This is very time-sensitive, so please do not wait to get started.

Testimonials

Saman was referred to me 5 years ago by a family friend who had used her services and was happy with them. When I contacted her, even though she was not my attorney yet, she did not hesitate to talk to me about my case. Later, as my marriage-based case progressed and became more complicated, she was able to help us through each step successfully. Our case got approved thanks to her! Also, my parents were selected in the DV lottery but with the new immigration complications and the fact that my family comes from one of the countries on the banned list, we have been concerned. However, she has managed to help us through their case as well. We appreciate Saman’s knowledge of the system, her availability, and her patience. I feel comfortable texting her at any time to ask her questions when I don’t have the chance to call or write an email. She is on top of it and responds to all of my questions thoroughly and promptly. Would definitely recommend her! Even if you are not sure you need an attorney I would give her a call

I would highly recommend to anybody in need of immigration counseling to give themselves the opportunity of a very professional, honest and transparent guidance with Saman and her team.

- Santiago Gonzalez

My wife and I hired Saman to help us with a permanent residency application. My wife is a U.S citizen and I am Canadian. Right from the start she was very easy to deal with and schedule time with. I was in medical school and in the process of applying for residency. Saman was able to get me an Employment Authorization Document while awaiting my greencard, which meant that I was eligible to apply to significantly more programs because I would not require any visas. Also, during our in-person interview, the interview stated that he has been doing this for 21 years and has never seen anyone this well prepared. Because of this, we were asked very few questions and I was given my green card a week later. I would highly recommend you chose Saman for any and everything to do with immigration.
