Deportation Defense

We work primarily in immigration courts in Phoenix, Eloy, Florence, and Tucson, Arizona, and in San Diego, Otay Mesa, El Centro, Imperial, San Pedro, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, California.
We can also appear in Las Vegas, Nevada, and El Paso, Texas, and make bond appearances nationwide to secure the release of detained individuals held at any detention center.
We are prepared to litigate your matter before the immigration courts, board of immigration appeals (BIA), federal court, and circuit courts of appeal. We have accomplished numerous precedent decisions in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and the Board of Immigration Appeals on behalf of our clients.
We have handled thousands of cases before the immigration courts in Arizona, California, Nevada and Texas. Our clients have received grants of: cancellation of removal, waivers of inadmissibility under 212(c) and 212(h), asylum, withholding of deportation, deferral of removal under the convention against torture (CAT), termination of removal and deportation, termination of deferred inspection, bonds and other forms of relief form deportation or removal.
If relief is available, Stender & Lappin will find it. Call us today at (602) 257-1010 in Phoenix or (619) 238-8080 in San Diego. You may also contact us online.
The decision whether or not to apply for specific forms of relief is a complex decision that needs to be made with the consultation of an experienced immigration attorney. The Immigration & Nationality Act (INA) is a complicated area of the law.
At Stender & Lappin, P.C. we have the necessary skill and experience to help you make the right decisions in your case. Whether you are a lawful permanent resident (LPR) fighting to keep your residence in the U.S. or of you are trying to obtain lawful residence, we can help.
Below are some common forms of relief available to individuals in deportation and removal proceedings before U.S. Immigration Judges (IJ).
