Fearless Deportation Defense and Immigration Court Litigation

Confronting removal proceedings or receiving a notice to appear before the immigration court can threaten everything you have built in America. As seasoned deportation defense lawyers, the firm legal team represents individuals before the Executive Office for Immigration Review in Newark, Elizabeth, and nationwide. The practice aggressively challenges government evidence, files motions for cancellation of removal, and seeks bond redetermination to free detained loved ones. If an immigrant has a prior removal order, attorney Mejer investigates legal avenues to submit emergency motions to reopen based on changed country conditions, ineffective assistance of prior counsel, or new eligibility for statutory relief.

Family-Based Immigration, Green Cards, and Waivers

• Filing family preference and immediate relative immigrant visa petitions using Form I-130.

Humanitarian Relief for Crime Victims: U Visas, VAWA, and T Visas

Undocumented immigrants who become victims of violent crimes often fear that reporting the offense will lead to their own deportation.

The firm prepares U visa petitions for individuals who suffered physical or mental abuse from qualifying crimes and cooperated with law enforcement.
