Removal Defense
In many cases, the only way to defend against deportation from the United States is to take the case to trial before an Immigration Judge. In his time as both an ICE attorney and a private attorney, Mr. Powell has litigated hundreds of final removal hearings before the Immigration Court, Board of Immigration Appeals, and Federal Circuit Courts of Appeal. Schedule your consultation today if you are facing removal proceedings before the Immigration Court.
Prosecutorial Discretion
Defensive Asylum
Reopening Removal Orders
Current DHS policy allows ICE, in their discretion, to dismiss certain removal cases that do not meet current enforcement priorities. Broadly speaking, these enforcement priorities generally include people who are deemed dangers to their communities, criminals, or individuals who have recently and unlawfully entered the US. Schedule your consultation today to determine if you might be able to seek Prosecutorial Discretion from ICE.

For immigrants who have lived in the US for many years, there are few things more terrifying than the prospect of a chance encounter with ICE leading to deportation from the US. Fortunately, many individuals qualify for relief if they have lived in the US for an extended period of time, have not committed certain disqualifying offenses, and have US citizen family who will suffer a serious hardship. Cancellation of Removal can be a path to—or save an existing—green card. Schedule your consultation today if you are in removal proceedings and want to see if Cancellation of Removal might be right for you.
Every day in the US, Immigration Judges order immigrants removed from the country. These removal orders can be issued for any number of reasons, ranging from serious criminal offenses to failed asylum applications to simply forgetting about the court date. In some of these cases, it could be possible to ask the Immigration Judge to reconsider and reopen a removal order. Schedule your consultation today to determine if your removal order can be reopened.
Losing a case doesn’t have to be the end. If you have recently lost your Immigration Court case, you may be able to pursue an appeal before the Board of Immigration Appeals or Circuit Court of Appeals. A successful appeal might result in the Immigration Judge either reconsidering or reversing her original opinion, or it might even result in a grant of relief. Schedule your consultation today to see if your case is a good fit for an appeal.
