They explore every option and legal tool available to help you stay in the United States.
If you have already been issued a deportation order but have reasons why you cannot return, then you may qualify for a stay of deportation. A stay of deportation is a powerful tool; it is a document that can prevent your return to your native country. The state may grant a stay if:
- You have an immigration appeal pending
- You have a humanitarian reason why you cannot return
- You have options for other legal remedies
Our lawyers can assess whether a deportation stay is appropriate for your situation. If it is, we will help you file it.

Immigration Appeals: Your Chance For A Second Chance
A denial of your petition or an order for your removal is not necessarily the end of your case. In some instances, you may file an appeal. However, not every negative result can lead to an appeal. Our Miami immigration lawyers can help you with your appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). They will study cases and submit the best argument to prove that the initial judge made a factual or other error.
They also regularly handle complex federal appeals. Federal appeals mean that you go to the highest immigration court to challenge the lower immigration court’s decision. Our attorneys have the experience necessary to seek a second opinion with judges in federal courts if the desired result was not obtained. They know how to research and demonstrate whether an error of fact or a mistake in the application of the law was made.
Clear A Mistake From Your Past So You Can Move Forward
Anyone can make a bad choice in the past. It should not cost you your future.

- Forgiveness letters
