San Rafael Removal Defense Lawyer

What Is Removal Defense?

When removal proceedings are opened against someone, it means that the U.S. government is trying to send that person back to their country because they are in the U.S. without documents. Removal defense exists to fight back against removal proceedings and help people retain their place here in the U.S. If you have fought for your right to make your home here in the U.S., you deserve to have someone on your side to keep you here despite the obstacles, which is what our San Rafael removal defense lawyer can do for you. 

Who Is At Risk Of Removal?

You might be subject to removal proceedings followed by deportation if you:

  • Are undocumented or have arrived in the U.S. unlawfully. People who are undocumented in the U.S. have a higher likelihood of being deported, even if they arrived in the U.S. when they were children. 
  • Have overstayed your visa or failed to follow visa guidelines.
  • Are found guilty of a crime, especially a felony crime, which can come with deportation as a penalty even if you are here on a green card.
  • Are labeled as a threat to national security if you have a prior deportation order or were caught at the border before
