Comprehensive Immigration Lawyers and Deportation Defense

United States immigration law is intricate and high-stakes. A single misstep can separate families or trigger removal proceedings. Our skilled immigration lawyers guide clients through every phase of the legal process.

• Family Immigration and Visas: Assisting couples and families with marriage-based green cards, K-1 fiancé visas, consular processing, and adjustment of status petitions.
• Deportation Defense and Removal Hearings: Providing aggressive representation before immigration judges, handling bond hearings, cancellation of removal, and asylum applications.
• Hardship Waivers and Inadmissibility: Crafting compelling extreme hardship waiver petitions for unlawful presence, prior deportations, or criminal grounds of inadmissibility.
• Citizenship and Naturalization: Guiding permanent residents through naturalization interviews, N-400 applications, and complex moral character evaluations.

Dedicated Family Law and Collaborative Divorce

Domestic legal disputes demand not only thorough legal knowledge but also profound empathy. Our family law attorneys help clients achieve peaceful resolutions or fight tenaciously in court when necessary.

• Divorce and Dissolution: Handling contested divorce litigation and collaborative divorce proceedings that preserve family dignity and protect marital assets.
• Child Custody and Shared Parenting: Formulating customized parenting plans that protect parental rights and prioritize children's safety and emotional well-being.
• Domestic Violence and Protection Orders: Advocating for survivors seeking civil protection orders and addressing the complex immigration repercussions of domestic disputes under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).

Criminal Defense and Post-Conviction Relief

For non-citizens and citizens alike, a criminal charge can carry devastating consequences. A minor misdemeanor conviction can result in mandatory deportation or the loss of civil liberties. Our criminal defense lawyers provide strategic defense against assault, theft, drug charges, and traffic offenses, always analyzing the precise immigration consequences of criminal pleas. Furthermore, we assist individuals with post-conviction relief, record sealing, and expungements.

Federal Appellate Litigation

When lower courts or administrative agencies hand down unjust decisions, Blake P. Somers LLC possesses the proven appellate background to challenge those rulings. Our attorneys have briefed and argued precedent-setting petitions for review before the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, defending client rights at the highest judicial levels.

At Blake P. Somers LLC, no two clients or cases are treated the same. We offer bilingual Spanish and English services, responsive communication, and affordable payment options.
