Boston, Massachusetts Deportation Defense Attorneys

Regardless whether you are in the country legally or illegally, immigrants have certain rights under the law. When law enforcement officers or immigration officials fail to follow proper procedures or blatantly violate the law, a deportation or removal action can be challenged before the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). At the Harrington Law Offices, our attorneys assert and protect the rights of immigrants in deportation and removal proceedings. We have the experience and knowledge needed to challenge deportation in cases involving criminal charges, criminal convictions, and visa expirations.

If you have questions about your rights and the legal options available for challenging a deportation or removal action, contact deportation defense attorneys at the Harrington Law Offices today.

Grounds for Deportation or Removal

The deportation defense lawyers at the Harrington Law Offices represent clients in cases involving the following reasons for deportation:

• Criminal charges
  - Drug possession
  - Assault
  - DUI
• Divorce
• Expiration of a visa
• Unlawful entry in the United States

Appealing Your Deportation before the Board of Immigration Appeals

If you appeal your deportation to the BIA, the only information it will consider will be the transcript of earlier hearings, the written decision of an Immigration Judge, and any written briefs provided by your attorney. You cannot introduce new evidence and you cannot testify before the Board. For these reasons, it's crucial to work with an attorney who has extensive knowledge and experience in handling appeals before the BIA regarding deportations and removals.

Criminal Charges and Criminal Convictions

Not all criminal defense attorneys are aware of the fact that a plea to a lesser criminal charge - even if it isn't considered a criminal conviction - can still be grounds for deportation. If convicted on DUI, drug, assault, some misdemeanor, or felony criminal charges, you could be deported. If you are a victim of circumstance or receive poor advice from a criminal defense attorney, you may have grounds for appealing your deportation. Our attorneys can review your case and determine if you have grounds for an appeal.

Need Additional Information? Contact the Harrington Law Offices

Depending on your situation, there may be other important reasons why you should not be deported. If you are eligible to seek political asylum, are badly in need of medical treatment, already have family living in the US, or have an expired visa, other options may exists which will allow you to stay in the country.
