    YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO A REMOVAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY

    Every person who is subject to deportation (removal) has the right to hire a removal defense attorney and have that attorney represent you. However, if you wish to exercise your right to be represented by a lawyer, you must find and hire your own lawyer. Unlike criminal cases, individuals in removal proceedings are not entitled to a government-paid representative. Some states have organizations that represent people in immigration court for free. Our firm even accepts pro bono defense cases when they are referred from qualifying organizations such as the Rocky Mountain Immigration Advocacy Network. For persons detained in Aurora, Colorado, the Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network provides legal orientations to persons.

     

    Deportation Defenses

    When a noncitizen is placed in removal proceedings he must go before an immigration judge. If a noncitizen does not appear for his immigration court hearings, then he will be ordered removed in his absence {in absentia). It is therefore important that a noncitizen attend every scheduled appearance.

    VAWA

    If a noncitizen in removal proceedings has been the battered or subjected to extreme cruelty at the hands of their U.S. citizen spouse or parent, then they may be eligible to apply for adjustment of status through the Violence Against Women Act. If you are in removal proceedings and believe that you qualify for this form or relief, you should contact our office immediately.

    U Visa

    If a noncitizen in removal proceedings has been the victim of certain crimes in the Untied States and was helpful to law enforcement or the prosecution in the investigation or prosecution of the crime, then they may be eligible to apply for a U Visa, giving them lawful status in the United States.
