Deportation proceedings can have severe consequences for individuals and families. At Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC, we have witnessed firsthand the challenges individuals face when attempting to handle these proceedings independently. The stakes are high, and the consequences of missteps can be devastating. In this blog, we explore the risks associated with not hiring a lawyer for deportation proceedings and the significant benefits of securing experienced legal representation.
Understand Deportation Proceedings
Before delving into the risks, it is crucial to understand what deportation proceedings entail. Deportation, also known as removal, is a legal process by which non-citizens are removed from the United States. It can occur for various reasons, such as overstaying a visa or committing a crime. These proceedings take place in immigration court and follow specific protocols set by the Department of Justice’s Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR).
The Complexity of Immigration Law
Immigration law is notoriously intricate, with constant changes in regulations and procedures. Without the guidance of a seasoned attorney, individuals may struggle to understand the nuances of the legal system. For instance, a foreign national might receive a Notice to Appear, signaling the start of removal proceedings. Without legal counsel, they might not fully comprehend the importance of this document or the subsequent steps required to mount a defense.
The Benefits of Hiring an Experienced Attorney
Hiring a proficient immigration attorney offers numerous advantages. Our team at Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC is equipped with over 60 years of combined experience in immigration law, allowing us to deftly navigate the complexities of each case. We provide tailored legal strategies, taking into account unique circumstances to effectively advocate for our clients.
An attorney can ensure that all documentation is correctly filed and deadlines are met, minimizing the risk of procedural errors. Furthermore, legal representation can significantly enhance the chances of obtaining relief from removal, such as asylum or cancellation of removal, by developing compelling arguments and presenting thorough evidence.
Potential Consequences of Foregoing Legal Assistance
Without legal representation, individuals risk facing deportation without fully exploring available defenses or relief options. The absence of professional advocacy can lead to irrevocable decisions, separating families and uprooting lives. Additionally, mishandling a case can result in a bar from re-entering the United States, further complicating future immigration prospects.
At Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC, we emphasize the importance of proper legal counsel in deportation proceedings. Our commitment to providing aggressive and professional representation ensures that our client’s rights are protected at every stage of the process.

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.

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.

I cannot find the words to express my gratitude to Brittni Rivera! She literally saved my family. We had been waiting seven years for what she accomplished in just three weeks. I was impressed by how accessible the office is—they always answer calls very quickly. A special thank you to paralegal Nataliia Melnyk. You are my heroes. Thank you.
Thank you all, I found this group to be a great service. Thank you all, blessings to you. especially Khiabett
