Frequently asked questions

Can you help if I have a criminal record?

Yes. Crimmigration — the immigration consequences of criminal pleas — is one of our core practice areas. We analyze convictions for immigration consequences, advise on plea negotiations, pursue post-conviction relief when appropriate, and defend against removal in court.

My loved one is detained by ICE. What can you do?

We handle bond hearings to seek release, and where a bond hearing is denied or detention is prolonged, we file federal habeas corpus petitions. See our sister site habeas.law for detention-specific help.

How much does deportation defense cost?

Removal defense is typically a flat fee or retainer that depends on the stage, detention, criminal history, and relief sought. Get a private, no-obligation estimate at immigrationcost.com.

Do you handle cases outside Florida?

Immigration court is federal. Our office is in Tampa, and we represent clients in Florida immigration courts and, depending on the matter, in courts and appeals nationwide.
