Deportation proceedings are among the most challenging and life-changing experiences immigrants and their families can face. At Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC, we understand the anxiety and uncertainty that come with facing possible removal from the United States. Our attorneys will protect your rights and help you secure a stable future through legal representation. Here, we explore effective deportation defense strategies and how they can help you safeguard your residency.
Key Deportation Defense Strategies
Several legal defenses are available to individuals who receive a Notice to Appear (NTA) in immigration court. The most effective strategy is dependent on the specific circumstances of your case, and our team is here to guide you through these options.
-
Seeking Asylum
Individuals who fear persecution in their home country due to their race, religion, nationality, political beliefs, or membership in a particular social group may qualify for asylum.
- Eligibility:
- Demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution.
- File your application within one year of arrival in the U.S., unless exceptions apply.
-
Cancellation of Removal
If you’ve built a life in the U.S., cancellation of removal may prevent deportation. This relief depends on meeting specific criteria such as continuous physical presence and evidence of good moral character. Additionally, you must prove that deportation would cause extreme hardship to qualifying family members who are U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents.
Certain individuals may become eligible for a green card while defending against removal. If you have a family-based or employment-based green card petition in process, adjustment of status can help you remain in the U.S. legally.
- Eligibility:
- Valid sponsorship through a qualifying relative or employer.
- Meet admissibility criteria under U.S. immigration law.
The Importance of Legal Representation
Deportation defense is a complex and high-stakes process, with every decision carrying significant consequences. Professional legal support is crucial to ensuring your case is handled comprehensively and accurately. Here’s why legal representation matters:
- Thorough Case Evaluations
An attorney will carefully review your case to identify potential defenses and build a strategy.
- Navigating Complex Laws
Immigration laws and procedures are constantly changing. Our legal team stays updated on current regulations to provide informed guidance.
- Effective Advocacy
We represent you in court, presenting evidence and making compelling arguments on your behalf.

Kevin Raica literally saved my life. He helped me out of a dangerous situation that my previous attorney had put me in. After 17 years without status and 6.5 years of working with my previous attorney, I had experienced so many denials that I had completely lost hope. When I met Kevin, everything changed. He genuinely cared about my situation and gave me hope when I couldn’t see any for…

I would like to sincerely thank Attorney Justin Burton and PL Kamila Lada for support with my adjustment of status case. I have been working with the firm for over a year now, and I have received nothing short of exceptional services and support throughout various cases for myself and family members. Highly recommend consulting and retaining this firm.
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…
Kevin Raica and his team handled my immigration application and i can other recommend them enough. They made a stressful process very easy. They are very knowledgeable in this area and helped us at every stage from beginning to end.
Brittni Rivera. She is my Attorney from 2017. Thank you so, so much. This truly wouldn’t have been possible without you, Brittni. Can’t wait to file for the green cards.
We hoped and prayed for this day, not knowing if it would ever come. Deportations are incredibly scary and overwhelming. We wanted to give a very special thank you to Jennifer Peyton of Chicago for securing this victory for us! With Jennifer on our side we were able to get our loved one back. On behalf of our family, thank you. When we started this journey, we had hoped and…
