How we help Denver immigrants
Deportation and removal defense
If you or someone in your family has been placed in removal proceedings, the stakes could not be higher. A removal order can mean separation from spouses, children, and a life built over decades. Our deportation defense team appears at the Denver Immigration Court for both the non-detained Denver docket and the detained Aurora docket, which originates from the Aurora ICE Processing Center on Oakland Street. Removal proceedings are governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1229a, and the procedural rules — burden allocation, in-absentia consequences, motions to reopen — leave no room for guesswork. We build the record at the Immigration Judge level with the appeal already in mind. Learn more on our Denver deportation defense page.
Family-based immigration and green cards
Most of the people who walk into our office are here because they are trying to keep a family together. We handle I-130 petitions, adjustment-of-status filings under INA § 245 / 8 U.S.C. § 1255, consular processing, marriage-based green cards, and the harder cases — prior immigration history, prior denials, public-charge complications, criminal-history overlap, waivers. Family-based immigration looks simple from the outside; in practice, the difference between a clean filing and a denied case is often one document, one disclosure, or one waiver request prepared the right way. Start with our Denver family immigration page or our marriage-based green card overview for a deeper look at the marriage track.
DACA, TPS, and humanitarian relief
DACA is in active litigation, and the program's operational posture changes. We help DACA recipients with renewals, and we plan for the alternatives — asylum where the facts support it, U-visa relief for crime victims, VAWA self-petitions for survivors of domestic violence, and Temporary Protected Status for nationals of currently TPS-designated countries. Humanitarian relief is rarely a single-application strategy. It is a layered plan that protects status today while keeping a long-term path open. See our DACA application lawyers page for the DACA-specific scope.
Naturalization and citizenship
For lawful permanent residents who have met the residence and good-moral-character requirements under 8 U.S.C. § 1427 (or the shorter window for spouses of U.S. citizens under § 1430), the N-400 is the last step. We handle naturalization filings, prepare clients for the civics and English interview, and — where prior immigration history or any criminal record could complicate the case — we vet the file before USCIS sees it. A botched N-400 is not just a denial; it can trigger a referral to removal proceedings. Read more on our immigration law parent page for the full naturalization service overview.
Your family's future deserves a real defense. Our Denver team is bilingual, court-tested, and ready to start today.
Book a consultationWhy Denver families choose Novo Legal
A bilingual team built for Denver's immigrant community
Every Novo Legal attorney speaks English and Spanish. That is not a marketing line — it is a hiring standard. When your spouse needs to be on the consultation call, or your mother needs the engagement letter explained the way she would understand it at her kitchen table, we do not pass you to an interpreter. We represent you directly in the language of your household. Our paralegal team includes Eunice Mora, on the affirmative team, and Brandon López Lozano, who works closely with vulnerable immigrant populations — both Spanish-fluent and both deeply rooted in the Denver immigrant community.
Trial-tested attorneys who appear at the Denver Immigration Court
This page is co-bylined by Aaron Elinoff, Managing Partner (CO Bar #46468), and Bryce Downer, Partner (CO Bar #47392). Aaron has argued at the Colorado Court of Appeals on a published procedural-defense matter. Bryce leads the Denver office's immigration docket alongside Aaron. We appear in person and by WebEx at the Denver Immigration Court as the docket requires. Knowing the courtroom — the Immigration Judges, the ICE counsel, the local procedural conventions — is not a credential we list. It is how we prepare every hearing.
Denver immigration practice, Denver office
Our Denver office is at 4280 Morrison Road, Denver, CO 80219 — the same southwest Denver neighborhood many of our clients live and work in. We are not a satellite branch of an out-of-state firm. We live here. We work here. We have built relationships here for years. Visit the Denver office page for directions, hours, and the broader Denver team.
Recent outcomes for Denver clients
We do not publish raw volume claims, and we do not promise outcomes. What we can tell you, in plain Ally-Lozano framing, is the kind of work our team does every year. Each item below is qualitative pending Stage 5b numeric confirmation.
- Removal defense: In 2024, our team appeared at the Denver Immigration Court on [X — TBD 5b] removal cases, including both the non-detained Denver docket and the detained Aurora docket originating from the Aurora ICE Processing Center.
- Bond hearings: Our attorneys argued [Y — TBD 5b] custody and bond hearings for detained Colorado clients in 2024, working to reunite families during the pendency of removal proceedings rather than after.
- Family-based filings: Our affirmative team filed [Z — TBD 5b] family-based petitions and adjustment-of-status packages in 2024 — marriage-based green cards, parent and adult-child petitions, and the harder cases involving waivers and prior immigration history.
- DACA work: Our team prepared and filed renewal packages for DACA recipients across Colorado throughout 2024 and continues to plan humanitarian alternatives as the program remains under active litigation.
- Naturalization: We carried [N — TBD 5b] N-400 naturalization clients from filing through oath in 2024, including cases that required pre-filing risk assessment for clients with prior immigration or criminal history.
Past results do not predict outcomes in any specific case. Every case turns on its facts, and immigration law changes — sometimes weekly. The honest version is: we have done this work, in this courtroom, for years. We will tell you what we can and cannot do for your case at the consultation.
Working with us: what to expect
You should not have to guess what happens after you fill out a form on a law firm website. Here is the path, in plain language.
- Free initial phone screen (about 15 minutes). Our intake team — bilingual, in-house — takes the basics. Who is the client, what is the immigration issue, is there any court date or deadline already on the calendar, and is your situation something we can actually help with. If we are not the right fit for your matter, we tell you and try to point you somewhere useful.
- Paid initial consultation (about 60 minutes, attorney-led). This is the substantive meeting. You meet with an attorney — most often Aaron Elinoff or Bryce Downer for our Denver caseload — who reviews the documents you bring, asks the hard questions, and lays out the realistic options. Consultation fee is disclosed during the intake call.
- Engagement and document collection. If you decide to retain us and we decide we can effectively represent you, we sign an engagement letter that names the scope, the fee, and the deliverables. We open your file, request the documents we will need, and set the deadlines on our calendar — not just yours.
- Active representation. We prepare and file your petitions, appear at your hearings, communicate with USCIS and EOIR and ICE counsel on your behalf, and keep you updated when there is a status change. You will know who is working on your case and how to reach us. That is the standard.
Frequently asked questions
How much does an immigration lawyer in Denver cost?
Honest answer: it depends on the case. Our Denver consultations are billed at a flat fee disclosed during the intake call, so you know the number before you book. Representation pricing varies based on the scope of work — a straightforward N-400 is not priced like a contested removal case with a bond hearing and an appeal. We will explain the engagement fee in plain language at the initial consultation, and we will not surprise you with line items that were not in the engagement letter.
Where is the Denver Immigration Court, and do you appear there?
The Denver Immigration Court is located at 1961 Stout Street, Denver, CO. Yes, we appear there regularly — both in person and by WebEx, depending on the docket. The Denver Immigration Court hears the non-detained Denver docket and the detained Aurora docket, which originates from the Aurora ICE Processing Center on Oakland Street. A Denver-based firm reaches both populations without leaving the metro.
Do I need an attorney for my green card application?
Many family-based green card cases — particularly clean immediate-relative filings with no prior immigration history — can be filed pro se, and USCIS provides forms and instructions for that path. The honest answer is: you need an attorney when there is any complication. Prior removal proceedings, prior denials, criminal history, public-charge issues, gaps in immigration history, or a sponsor with a complicated petitioning record — those are the cases where the difference between approval and denial often comes down to legal strategy, not paperwork. If your case is clean, we will tell you so. If it is not, we will tell you why we think representation is worth it.
What happens at a Denver immigration consultation?
You start with a free 15-minute intake call with our bilingual intake team to confirm we are the right fit and to schedule. The paid attorney consultation runs about 60 minutes — long enough to actually review your documents, ask the hard questions about your immigration and criminal history, and lay out a realistic plan. You will leave the consultation with an honest read on your options, what the timeline could look like, and what representation would cost. No pressure to retain us in the room.
Can Novo Legal represent me if my immigration hearing is in another state?
Yes. Immigration matters are federal, and our attorneys are licensed before the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), which means we can appear on immigration cases in any Immigration Court in the country, not just Denver. We routinely represent clients with hearings in Aurora, and we have represented immigration clients outside Colorado where the case fits our practice. State-court matters — criminal cases, family-law cases, and civil disputes — generally require attorneys licensed in that state. If your situation crosses both immigration and state-court issues, we will tell you what we can handle and where you may need additional counsel. Book a consultation to talk through your specific situation.
Removal proceedings, green card applications, DACA renewals, citizenship — your immigration case deserves a Denver-rooted, bilingual team that will pick up the phone. We are ready to start today.
