Jacksonville, Florida Deportation Defense Attorneys

If you are facing deportation or removal proceedings, the potential consequences to you — and your family — are incredibly serious. You may be forcibly removed from the United States, forced to return to your native country, separated from your family, and compelled to give up either your studies or employment.

Deportation and removal proceedings are handled by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), formerly known as the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS).

Get Immediate Legal Help From a Deportation Defense Attorney

No matter the reasons behind the deportation proceedings against you or a family member, it is critically important to seek legal advice as soon as possible. There are several possible defenses to a deportation or removal action, but you may lose some or all of your legal options if you delay getting legal help.

Located in Jacksonville, Arnold & New is a full-service immigration law firm. Our attorneys offer legal assistance to clients throughout North Florida, and southeastern Georgia. Because our law firm also provides criminal defense services, our lawyers are well-equipped to handle the defense of deportation charges arising from allegations of criminal misconduct.

We will conduct a thorough review of the case against you and help you answer the following questions, so that you can prevent deportation or leave the United States on your own terms:

• Was the criminal charge a deportable offense?
• If you have entered a plea to a deportable offense in a criminal case, with help from a lawyer who doesn't know immigration law, is it possible to renegotiate the plea bargain?
• Should you consider a voluntary departure agreement instead of forcible removal?
• Are there procedural steps we can take to extend or replace your student visa, if it has expired?
• If you are accused of a sham marriage, can the charges be fought or can your visa be re-established on other grounds such as employment or asylum?
