What should I do if I am facing deportation?
If you or a loved one has received a Notice to Appear (NTA) or been detained by immigration authorities, the most important step you can take is to seek immediate legal counsel. An NTA is a formal document that initiates removal proceedings against you. It is essential to understand the allegations and build a strong defense. Our attorneys can provide the guidance and support you need from the very beginning.
What are my legal options to fight deportation?
Many individuals in removal proceedings have viable defense strategies available to them. It is a common misconception that deportation is inevitable. A thorough analysis of your case can reveal several potential forms of relief. Depending on your circumstances, these options may include:
- Cancellation of Removal: Certain long-term residents may be eligible to have their removal proceedings canceled if they can prove extreme hardship to a qualifying U.S. citizen or permanent resident relative.
- Asylum or Withholding of Removal: If you fear persecution or torture in your home country, you may qualify for protection that allows you to remain in the U.S.
- Adjustment of Status: In some cases, it may be possible to apply for a Green Card through a family member or employer, even while in court proceedings.
- Waivers of Inadmissibility: These can forgive certain grounds for removal, such as unlawful presence or specific criminal issues, clearing the path to permanent residency.
Why do I need an experienced deportation defense attorney?
The immigration court system is complex and adversarial. The government will have its own attorney arguing for your removal. Having a skilled legal advocate on your side is critical. An attorney ensures all deadlines are met, challenges the government’s case, and presents a compelling argument for relief on your behalf. Failing to appear at a hearing can result in an automatic deportation order, so professional representation is paramount.
The attorneys at Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC, are leaders in immigration litigation, with a proven track record before Immigration Courts, the Board of Immigration Appeals, and federal courts. We provide the resolute support and guidance you can trust.

We have been in the dark with our case for over 2 decades, while working with other big firms who just kept me in the dark and sat on our case without making any effort to move it forward until I met the wonderful team at Kriezelman & Burton. AO and JP are truly God-sent angels who with their knowledge, collaboration, sense of direction and outside the box thinking, managed…
Highly recommend attorney Kevin Raica and attorney Agata Bigdanowicz. They were super helpful, responded on time, and won my case in record time. It took about a month and half in total for me to get my approval after filing!
Brittni Rivera and her team (Carina Lopez) are fantastic! They are responsive, efficient and beyond compassionate. Brittni Rivera and her team treated me with dignity and respect as they patiently answered all of my questions. They didn't move on without making sure I understood each step. Their work ethic was impressive. It felt like they were an extension of my personal team. I can't say enough to convey my gratitude…
I give my total recommendation and trust in this great organization that has supported me and my family in very difficult times, especially the lawyer Andrea Ochoa and her paralegal Rafael who were little angels that God has sent us to be able to face all the obstacles that we have had along the way. Thank you very much with all my heart. ❤️
I have heard from several people that Brittni is a great attorney. When my friend was detained, I recommended Brittni to take his case. She did an amazing job putting together all the necessary information, especially given that we had only a couple of days to submit the habeas corpus application. She and her team worked very professionally and provided clear guidance throughout. She stayed in touch consistently and was…
Highly recommend Jennifer Peyton in federal litigations. She’s very polite and experienced.
I decided to use the services of Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC, and Kevin was nothing short of professional and amazing. From the consultation to the final approval, he gave us confidence and reassurance throughout the entire process. When I first told him about my wife’s wish to change her status, the first thing he said was, “We will get it done.” Even during the USCIS pause, he continued to…
Great service and attention. Felt safe and confident since the first meeting. Couldn't be happier with the results and services. I had the pleasure of working with attorney Andrea Ochoa and it was a great experience would absolutely reccomend her services
Our experience with the firm was extraordinary. We worked with attorney Andrea Ochoa. Since the very first meeting we met, Andrea gave us all the confidence to proceed with our case. She always answered our questions shortly and offered clear guidelines to proceed. When my son's case received a notice of intent to deny, she planned how to fight that decision effectively. We totally recommend everyone to trust their case…
I just want to say huge thank you to Mr. Kevin A. Raica. for everything he has done for me throughout my immigration case. When I first came to Kevin, he explained the SIJS process clearly and walked me through the steps. We first needed to get the guardianship court order before moving forward with the I-360, and he connected me with a trusted attorney to help with that part.…
