Our Practice Areas
Removal Defense & Detained Representation
We represent immigrants facing removal (deportation) proceedings in immigration courts. Our team provides skilled and compassionate defense, protecting clients’ rights and building strong cases to help them remain in the United States. We also represent detained individuals, offering advocacy both inside and outside the detention facility, and working to secure their release whenever possible.
USCIS Applications
We assist clients in preparing and filing applications with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This includes petitions for family members, adjustment of status (green card applications), naturalization, work authorization, travel documents, and other immigration benefits. We guide clients through each step of the process, ensuring forms are completed accurately, supporting evidence is properly submitted, and deadlines are met. Our goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible while maximizing the chances of approval.
Asylum
We provide experienced and compassionate representation for individuals seeking asylum in the United States. Our attorneys have extensive experience gained through years of work with Kentucky Refugee Ministries, where we prepared and filed hundreds of successful asylum applications for clients from around the world. We guide applicants through every stage of the process—from preparing a detailed personal statement and gathering supporting evidence to representing them at interviews and hearings. Our deep knowledge of asylum law and our proven record of success allow us to advocate effectively for clients fleeing persecution and seeking safety in the United States.
Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) Representation
We represent immigrant children in family court proceedings to obtain the custody orders required for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS). SIJS provides a vital pathway to lawful permanent residency for juveniles who cannot reunify with one or both parents due to abuse, neglect, or abandonment. Our team guides young clients and their families through the family court process with care and compassion, ensuring that the necessary findings are made to support their immigration case. We then coordinate closely with the immigration process to protect the child’s best interests and long-term stability in the United States.
Appeals of Removal Orders
We represent clients to challenge removal (deportation) orders before the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and federal courts. An appeal can be the last opportunity to remain in the United States, and our team carefully reviews the immigration judge’s decision, identifies legal errors, and develops strong arguments to protect our clients’ rights. With experience handling complex immigration matters, we provide thorough and strategic advocacy to give each case the best chance of success on appeal.
