Frequently Asked Questions about Immigration Court
Can I stop a deportation?
It depends on your case. There are immigration defenses and relief measures that may help you.
What happens if I don't attend a hearing?
The judge can issue a deportation order in absentia.
Can I request immigration bail?
In some cases, yes. We assess your qualifications and represent you.
Do they speak Spanish?
Yes. We provide service in Spanish and English.
What do I do in the first hours after an ICE detention?
Don't sign anything before speaking with a lawyer. Write down the person's full name, date and place of birth, and "A" number (if you can get it); locate them in the ICE detainee locator; and get an immigration attorney as soon as possible. Your first hours and decisions matter.
How much does it cost, and what is the first evaluation like?
The initial evaluation is free and is not legal advice. It's a preliminary review to see whether your case is something the office can take —or whether it's better to refer it— and to confirm we're the right team for your family, and you for us. If it makes sense to move forward, we schedule a paid strategy session with an attorney, where you receive a legal analysis of your case and a clear plan with timeline and cost.
Why not use a notario or a document-prep office?
In the United States, a "notario" is NOT a lawyer and cannot represent you before an immigration judge. A deportation case needs a licensed attorney. Many families come to us after a notario charged them for work that was never done, or told them their case was "simple" when it wasn't.
