Our Services
Asylum Claims
We represent individuals fleeing persecution due to their race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion.
Our team provides comprehensive support throughout the asylum process, including preparation, submission of applications, and representation at asylum interviews and hearings.
With an intimate understanding of the challenges faced by immigrants, we tailor our approach to effectively present your story and help you secure protection.
Habeas Corpus Petitions
Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS)
Our firm advocates for vulnerable children and young adults who have been abused, abandoned, or neglected, guiding them through the process of obtaining Special Immigrant Juvenile Status.
We handle the SIJS process from start to finish, including family court proceedings and coordination with USCIS to secure SIJS findings and related immigration benefits.
By addressing the unique circumstances of each case, we aim to provide a pathway to legal residency that ensures the safety and well-being of every young client.
U Visas for Crime Victims
Surviving a serious crime should not put your immigration status at risk. The U visa protects victims who assist law enforcement — and can lead to work authorization, protection from removal, and eventually a green card. We build these cases from the ground up, including petitions for your family members.
When someone is held in immigration detention unlawfully — or held for months without ever seeing a judge — we go to federal court. A petition for a writ of habeas corpus asks a federal judge to examine the detention itself and order a bond hearing or release.
We file these petitions for people detained by ICE, and we file them fast. Every additional day in detention separates a family, threatens a job, and makes the underlying case harder to win. If your loved one is detained, contact us as soon as possible.
Appeals and Motions
Handling appeals, motions to reopen, and other legal actions for clients whose asylum claims have been denied.
Adjustment of Status (Green Card)
Become a permanent resident without leaving the U.S. We handle adjustment for family members of citizens and residents, asylees, U visa holders, and VAWA self-petitioners — reviewing your full immigration history first, so old issues are addressed before you file, not after.
