Deportation Attorney in Jacksonville, FL

Legal Help for Those Facing Removal Bond Hearings

If you are facing removal (formerly known as deportation) from the U.S., you are most likely worried and fearful of the outcome. You need the services of an attorney who can thoroughly review your case and find viable ways to seek a defense against your removal from this country.

Removal proceedings are initiated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) if it is believed that a non-citizen has violated certain immigration and/or criminal laws and should no longer remain in the United States. DHS will issue a Notice to Appear (NTA), which begins the court proceedings.

Deportation or removal proceedings can be initiated for a number of reasons, such as immigration violations (entering the United States without a visa or lawful documents), violating the terms of a lawful admission by overstaying or working without authorization, immigration fraud, misdemeanor or felony criminal convictions, employment violations, being a member of a prohibited group or organization, and individuals who have become public charges within five years of their entry, or failing to depart after a final order of removal.

However, there are several forms of relief available. These are cancellation of removal, asylum, temporary protective status, adjustment of status, VAWA, voluntary departure, and withholding of deportation, to name a few. They may even be some relief available in the form of waivers, even if you have been accused of committing fraud, such as marriage fraud by the U.S. DHS, or if you are convicted of certain crimes. Therefore, it is very important that you contact an attorney to thoroughly review your case and determine whether you qualify for available relief.
