A:
If you are placed in removal proceedings, you will need to hire an experienced attorney to present your case.
When you attend a removal or deportation hearing before an Immigration Judge, make sure that you walk into the courtroom accompanied by the most experienced and knowledgeable deportation defense attorney that you can find. Why? Because the government will be represented by an attorney who has probably appeared in hundreds, or even thousands, of deportation hearings. I know – I served as an INS Trial Attorney until 1982.
If your attorney is not knowledgeable or experienced in deportation defense, you will be at a distinct disadvantage. Too many people appear at their removal hearings without taking the time to find the best and most experienced deportation defense attorney to represent them.
