The goal is to contest removal and pursue any relief the facts support. Removal proceedings start with a Notice to Appear. The law says that notice must list the acts alleged to violate the law, the charges, and the statutes the government relies on. It must also say you may be represented by counsel (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/8\/1229\">8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1229<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>This service fits people who:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Received a Notice to Appear or a hearing notice<\/li>\n<li>Have a removal order, or an older order the government may try to reinstate<\/li>\n<li>Are held in immigration custody and need a bond request<\/li>\n<li>Have a family member in removal proceedings and need help understanding the case<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You may be represented at the hearing by an attorney or another qualified representative (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1240.3\">8 C.F.R. \u00a7 1240.3<\/a>). For the full practice map, see our removal defense overview.<\/p>\n<h2>What Removal Defense Covers<\/h2>\n<p>Removal defense covers the court work from the first hearing through any appeal. Here is what that work includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Entering an appearance.<\/strong> The attorney files Form EOIR-28 and becomes the practitioner of record. That lets the attorney appear and file documents for you (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1003.17\">8 C.F.R. \u00a7 1003.17<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reviewing the charges.<\/strong> We check whether the government can prove each charge in the Notice to Appear.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Protecting your hearing rights.<\/strong> The law gives you a reasonable chance to examine the government&#8217;s evidence, present your own, and cross-examine its witnesses, but not to examine national security information the government offers against you (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/8\/1229a\">8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1229a<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Identifying relief.<\/strong> We look at waivers and other relief your facts may support.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Building evidence.<\/strong> This includes witness statements, hardship records, and country documents.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Filing motions.<\/strong> This includes motions to reopen and requests for bond.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Appeals.<\/strong> We handle appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals after an immigration judge decides your case.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If your defense centers on asylum, read our guide to defensive asylum representation in Florida.<\/p>\n<h2>Removal Defense Options by Situation<\/h2>\n<p>Which relief is open to you turns on your facts and your history. Several situations change the strategy early.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Detained or not detained.<\/strong> Custody changes the urgency. A bond request may be made orally, in writing, or, at the judge&#8217;s discretion, by telephone (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1003.19\">8 C.F.R. \u00a7 1003.19<\/a>). If DHS determines that you should not be released or sets bond at $10,000 or more, and files Form EOIR-43 within one business day, the judge&#8217;s release order is stayed pending appeal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prior removal orders.<\/strong> A person who illegally reenters after removal can have the old order reinstated, with no hearing before an immigration judge (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1241.8\">8 C.F.R. \u00a7 1241.8<\/a>). A pending adjustment application under HRIFA or NACARA changes that result.<\/li>\n<li>It will not be granted unless the immigration judge is satisfied that the evidence is material and was not available and could not have been discovered or presented at the former hearing (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1003.23\">8 C.F.R. \u00a7 1003.23<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>See our guide on criminal record asylum after referral.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Asylum paths.<\/strong> Learn how defensive versus affirmative asylum works after a referral.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Options are identified only after a review of your documents. A deportation defense attorney needs the actual papers, not a summary, to judge which paths are open.<\/p>\n<h2>How the Removal Defense Process Works<\/h2>\n<p>Removal cases move in stages. They start with a document review and end with the judge&#8217;s decision and any appeal.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 1: Contact the office<\/h3>\n<p>Gather the Notice to Appear, hearing notices, any prior orders, and your immigration papers. Bring them to your first meeting.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Document review<\/h3>\n<p>We review the charges and write out the possible paths. You receive that explanation in writing.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Master calendar hearing<\/h3>\n<p>The attorney appears, and the court sets next steps and deadlines. Each date on the court&#8217;s calendar matters, so track every notice.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Evidence and the individual hearing<\/h3>\n<p>We prepare the relief application and the supporting evidence. Then the case moves to an individual merits hearing before the immigration judge.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Decision and appeal<\/h3>\n<p>If the judge orders removal, the judge must tell you the right to appeal that decision and the consequences for failure to depart under the order of removal. A Notice of Appeal (Form EOIR-26) must come with the fee or an Appeal Fee Waiver Request (Form EOIR-26A). Any issue not raised in that notice is waived (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1003.38\">8 C.F.R. \u00a7 1003.38<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>A common mistake is assuming a motion pauses the order. Except in cases involving in absentia orders, filing a motion to reopen or reconsider does not stay the decision unless a stay is specifically granted (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/on\/2026-10-20\/title-8\/section-1003.23\">8 C.F.R. \u00a7 1003.23<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>The court sets hearing dates on its own schedule, so timing varies by case.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cta-dose-mid wp-block-group has-base-color has-accent-background-color has-text-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-32197852 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:var(--wp--preset--color--accent,#20242e);color:var(--wp--preset--color--base,#ffffff);border-radius:8px;padding-top:1.5rem;padding-bottom:1.5rem;padding-left:1.5rem;padding-right:1.5rem;border-left:6px solid var(--wp--preset--color--cta,currentColor);box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18)\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you receive a Notice to Appear or any notice from the immigration court, contact our office right away.
