Removal Defense & Immigration Court Representation
We defend individuals and families in immigration court, from master calendar to individual hearings, with a focus on realistic strategy, thorough preparation, and compassionate advocacy.
Standing between you and a deportation order.
When you or a loved one is in removal proceedings, every hearing and every document matters. At Lehigh Valley Immigration Law, we take a hands-on approach to building the strongest possible defense for your case.
We review your entire immigration history, criminal records, prior applications, and family situation to identify all available forms of relief, including defensive asylum, cancellation of removal, and waivers.
Whether your case is detained or non-detained, in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, or another jurisdiction, we focus on preparation: clear explanations, organized evidence, and detailed testimony prep for individual hearings.
Removal defense and immigration court services we provide.
We represent clients at every stage of removal proceedings, from the first Notice to Appear (NTA) through appeals and emergency stay requests.
Our removal defense services include:
- Master calendar and individual (merits) hearings before the immigration court
- Bond motions and custody redetermination hearings
- Motions to reopen and motions to reconsider prior orders
- Appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA)
- Stays of removal and emergency requests to pause deportation
- Prosecutorial discretion requests and administrative closure where appropriate
- Defensive asylum, withholding of removal, and CAT protection
- Cancellation of removal for permanent residents (EOIR-42A) and non-permanent residents (EOIR-42B)
We also coordinate with criminal defense counsel and prior representatives when necessary to correct records, seek post-conviction relief, or build the strongest equitable arguments on your behalf.
If you have a court date, don’t wait to get help.
Removal cases move quickly, and missing a deadline or hearing can lead to an order of removal. Speaking with an attorney early can change the direction of your case.
During your consultation, we will review your NTA, upcoming court dates, and prior filings, then give you an honest assessment of risks, possible relief, and what preparation will look like if we work together.
