Robust Deportation Defense, Asylum, and Removal Proceedings

Facing removal from the United States is one of the most frightening challenges an individual or family can confront. As veteran immigration lawyers, the attorneys at Perretta Law Office bring extensive courtroom trial experience to deportation defense:

Protecting Noncitizens in Immigration and Federal Courts

• Deportation and removal defense before the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), challenging grounds of removability and securing immigration bonds.
• Political asylum and refugee applications, representing victims of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or particular social group.
• Cancellation of removal for permanent and non-permanent residents, demonstrating exceptional hardship to qualifying citizen or resident relatives.
• U visas and T visas, protecting immigrant victims of qualifying crimes and human trafficking who cooperate with law enforcement agencies.
• Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) self-petitions, offering confidential legal pathways to legal status for survivors of domestic abuse.
• Immigration appeals before the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and petitions for review in the Tenth and Ninth Circuit U.S. Courts of Appeals.

Clients seeking to hire a lawyer for deportation defense benefit from attorneys who regularly train colleagues in complex immigration trial techniques.
