Highland Deportation Defense Lawyer
If you have received a notice to appear (NTA) by the Department of Homeland Security, you are likely pretty scared. An NTA is the first step in the process of deporting a lawful immigrant on a green card. On the NTA, you will find out why the government thinks that you should be deported.
The claim is not, however, enough to legally deport you. You do have the right to fight the deportation order. To do this, you will need the aid of an experienced deportation defense attorney.
The Highland immigration attorneys at Kriezelman Burton & Associates defend legal residents from deportation orders. With decades of experience behind us, we can help you fight the government’s charges that you should be deported. Give us a call or talk to us online to set up an appointment.
Grounds for Deportation in the U.S.
An immigrant can legally be deported when their visa is expired. In other cases, the government must be able to give a valid legal reason for wanting to deport the immigrant or the immigration court will prevent the state from issuing the order. These reasons can be broken up into three categories:
- Fraudulent information provided to the government. During the application process to receive a visa from the U.S. government, any information you provide must be truthful. If the government believes that you falsified information on your visa application, they may issue an NTA. The government has the burden of proving where you lied on your application. Your attorney’s job is to force the government to satisfy that burden.
- You committed an aggravated felony. There is no specific legal definition of the term “aggravated felony.” The decision as to whether or not a specific crime rises to the standard of an aggravated felony will depend on prior cases involving deportation orders. Your attorney’s job is to show that, if you have committed a crime, your crime does not rise to the standard of an aggravated felony.
- You committed a crime of moral turpitude. Crimes of moral turpitude are either crimes associated with vices such as prostitution and drug crimes or they are political crimes. For instance, an allegation can be levied against an immigrant affiliated with a criminal enterprise or a political faction whose aim is to disrupt or overthrow the U.S. government.

I came to Justin Burton and his associates after waiting for years on my case which been pending, I thought I will wait forever more according to my old attorney… I came for opinion of another attorney (J.Burton) to see if anything could be done to speed my case and turns out 3 years ago if I met Justin I would have had my green card already. He not only speed up my case to months of waiting from years or waiting but also I didn’t need to fly anywhere to get my visa… I am forever thankful to him…
I've referred multiple people to them and they all have had great results and really enjoyed the experience.
I would like to highly recommend this law firm. My case was handled by Attorney -BRITTNI RIVERA, for me Attorney BRITTNI RIVERA is a SUPERSTAR, when it comes to immigration law. I will not go into details but I will just say this, my case was not a typical case where you only need to know how to fill out USCIS forms, my case was complicated because a few years ago I did something stupid, which made my case even more difficult. Several other lawyers whom I consulted during my case with -KRIEZELMAN&BURTON LAW FIRM, told me that my chances…
