Ottawa Removal Defense Attorney
Facing deportation (removal) proceedings is an intensely stressful experience. This infamous immigration process poses the sudden threat of separating families and uprooting entire lives. As a result, those who receive a Notice to Appear from the Department of Homeland Security must immediately prepare a strong defense. But when you are already overcome with anxiety, how will you know what to do or where to turn?
At Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC, we know that having an experienced legal professional on your side is often what provides a clearer path forward. An Ottawa removal defense attorney from our firm can help defend you if you receive news of a pending removal order affecting your family.
The Basics of Removal Proceedings
The United States government can initiate deportation (removal) for various reasons. These reasons include overstaying a visa, committing certain crimes, or violating the terms of lawful status. The removal process itself typically begins when an individual receives a Notice to Appear, a formal document that lists the alleged violations of law. The issuance of this notice also schedules a hearing before an Immigration Court. During these hearings, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) presents its case for deportation (removal). Individuals with a case against them have the right to legal representation to counter these claims.
This is not the only way removal proceedings occur, however. Administrative removal and expedited removal are two alternative removal procedures that bypass the standard court process. These specific procedures move much more rapidly and offer fewer avenues for a legal defense, though they can still be addressed by an Ottawa removal defense attorney in certain cases.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to the remarkable team of Khiabett Osuna, Brittani Rivera, and Rafael Rodriguez, who were responsible for the successful release from detention of one of our parishioners, husband and father of four, after over 10 weeks of incarceration.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my attorney, Brittni Rivera, for her professionalism and support during a very difficult time. I was in detention for 6 months, and thanks to her hard work and filing a habeas corpus petition, I was finally released. In addition, when I was released, ICE did not return my documents. Brittni did not ignore this issue — she took action and successfully…
My aunt was recently detained by ICE and sent to El Paso, Texas to the East Montana Detention Facility. This place is essentially a prison in the middle of the desert, and the majority of the detainees here get deported. My family and I interviewed a dozen immigration attorneys around the country to help my aunt, and we decided to hire Kevin Raica, an attorney with Kriezelman Burton and Associates.…

They were attentive, honest, and always ready to help. It was…
