Paid Removal Defense Consultations for Florida Immigrants

A paid removal defense consultation is a scheduled review of your immigration case with an attorney at AG Immigration Law P.A. It looks at the charges against you, your immigration record and your court schedule. That way you can see your options before you decide what to do next. This page explains what the consultation covers, how it works, what to gather, and what to ask about fees. Adriana Gomez is the responsible lawyer for this page.

What a Paid Removal Defense Consultation Is and Who It Is For

A paid removal defense consultation is a booked, fee-based meeting that reviews a case in removal proceedings. Removal proceedings are the cases where the government asks an immigration judge to order a person removed from the United States.

You may need one if you received a Notice to Appear, have an upcoming immigration court date, or have a family member in removal proceedings. The Notice to Appear rules say the notice must name the charges and the law they rely on. It must also tell you that you may have a lawyer.

The consultation is paid, and the office tells you the fee before anything is booked. Our practice handles immigration matters for clients in Florida, including Miami, Broward County and Orlando.

What the Consultation Covers

A removal defense consultation covers your charges, your immigration history and the relief that may be possible. Each part depends on your own record.

• The charging document. We review the Notice to Appear, the charges and the law cited against you.
• Your history. We review past visas, green card records, earlier applications and any prior orders or court dates.
• Possible relief. We discuss options such as cancellation of removal, which is filed on Form EOIR-42 with the Immigration Court.
• Green cards and waivers. Federal green card pathways include adjustment from another status and family sponsorship. A waiver may apply to some grounds, such as for family unity or humanitarian reasons. Whether either fits depends on your record.
• Appeals. For asylum applications the Immigration Judge adjudicated and did not deny under 208(a)(2)(A), (B), or (C) of the Act, the BIA appeal must be filed directly with the Board within 30 days; in other cases, within 10 calendar days. In all cases, the deadline runs from the oral decision or the written notice.

How the Process Works, Step by Step

The process starts with contact and ends with clear next steps. Here is what to expect.

1. Contact the office. Use the contact form, call the office, or message on WhatsApp to request a paid consultation.
2. Review the fee and schedule. The office states the consultation fee and offers scheduling options before anything is confirmed.
3. Send your documents. Send the items from the checklist below so the review starts with your facts.
4. Attend the consultation. The attorney reviews your charges, your record and your court calendar.
5. Get your next steps. You receive an explanation of the options discussed. If another lawyer or firm may fit your matter better, we will tell you during the consultation.

Timing matters. Under the hearing rule, the first hearing cannot be set earlier than 10 days after the notice is served. That gives you time to secure counsel, unless you ask in writing for an earlier date. Timing depends on the court calendar and your facts, so the office confirms when a consultation can be set.

Attorney and Support Staff Fees: What to Ask Before You Book

Ask the office what the consultation fee covers before you book, and get the answer in writing. The firm’s lawyers work with support staff, including assistants and office staff. Ask who handles each part of intake and the review.

Questions to ask on the call:

• What does the consultation fee include?
• Are any filing or court-related charges separate from the consultation?
• How and when is payment taken?
• Who reviews my documents before the meeting?

Read the written answers before your review day. Clear answers now prevent surprises later.

What to Gather Before Your Consultation

Bring every immigration paper you have, starting with the Notice to Appear and any hearing notice. The more complete the file, the more focused the review.

• Your Notice to Appear, hearing notices, and any court order or calendar.
• Passports, visas, green cards, work permits, and prior immigration applications or approvals.
• Records of arrests, convictions or past immigration encounters. Share them even if you think they are minor, so the review is complete.
• A short written timeline of your entries into the United States, your family relationships, and key dates.

If you missed a hearing, say so at the start. In some cases, a person ordered removed in absentia who received oral notice of the time, place and consequences of missing the hearing may be barred from certain forms of relief for 10 years after the removal order, unless the failure to attend was due to exceptional circumstances.
