Common questions
What should I do if ICE detains a family member?
Stay calm, find out where they are being held, and contact an immigration attorney immediately. Do not sign anything without legal advice, and gather their immigration documents.
Can deportation be stopped?
Sometimes. Defenses include asylum, cancellation of removal, waivers, and adjustment of status — it depends on the person's history and the charges. An attorney can assess which apply.
What happens at immigration court hearings?
An initial hearing schedules the case; later hearings decide it. Missing a hearing can mean an automatic removal order, so never skip one.
How much does deportation defense cost?
Fees vary widely by case complexity. Ask whether the attorney charges flat fees per hearing stage or hourly, and get the agreement in writing.
