Federal Court
Representation

We can help you challenge a removal order issued by an immigration judge or the Board of Immigration Appeals

A removal order from the Board of Immigration Appeals does not have to be the end of the road.

We can challenge a removal order in federal court in a lawsuit called a petition for review. These cases are in the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, and provide federal judge review of the BIA and immigration judge’s decisions.‍ ‍

Circuit courts can hold the immigration agency responsible for following law or procedure. The circuit court can also grant a stay of removal while it considers the case.

A petition for review must be filed within 30 days of the final order of removal, so do not delay contacting our office for a consultation.

We have decades of experience litigating petitions for review and can help individuals with removal orders. We can also serve as co-counsel or mentor attorneys who are litigating petitions for review on behalf of clients.
