Deportation Defense Attorney
Facing Deportation? Fight Back.
Attorney Ahmad Yakzan defends against removal in immigration court, the Board of Immigration Appeals, and federal circuit courts across the country. If you or a family member face deportation, every hour matters.
What You're Up Against
Removal Proceedings Are One of the Most Serious Things an Immigrant Can Face
A Notice to Appear in immigration court means the government has started the process to remove you from the United States. If you have a criminal conviction — even a minor one — your situation becomes significantly more complex. And if ICE has detained you or a loved one, the clock is already running.
Many people assume there is nothing they can do once the process has started. That is not true. There are legal strategies that can stop, delay, or ultimately cancel removal — but they require an attorney who understands both immigration law and how criminal convictions interact with it.
At American Dream Law Office, Attorney Ahmad Yakzan handles the full spectrum of removal defense: from bond hearings and immigration court to the Board of Immigration Appeals and federal circuit courts. He personally oversees every deportation case.
Situations We Handle
- Received a Notice to Appear (NTA)
- Detained by ICE — need a bond hearing

- Prior removal order — need to reopen
- Illegal reentry charge after prior removal
- Lost in immigration court — need to appeal
- USCIS denied application and issued NTA
- Asylum denied — deportation scheduled

Defense Strategies
Every Deportation Case Is Different. Find Your Defense Below.
Attorney Yakzan analyzes every available defense strategy based on your specific circumstances — your immigration history, criminal record, family ties, and the government's case against you.
Cancellation of Removal
For LPRs with 7+ years of continuous residence or undocumented individuals with 10+ years and U.S. citizen family members who would suffer exceptional hardship.
Learn More →Crimmigration Defense
Criminal convictions can trigger deportation. We analyze your record for immigration consequences, advise on pleas, and pursue post-conviction relief to vacate convictions when possible.
Learn More →Immigration Bonds & Detention
If ICE has detained you or a family member, we file for a bond hearing before an immigration judge to secure release while your case is pending.
Learn More →BIA Appeals
Lost in immigration court? The Board of Immigration Appeals is your next step. We prepare thorough appellate briefs to challenge the judge's decision.
Learn More →Federal Court Appeals
When the BIA denies relief, the U.S. Circuit Courts provide another avenue. Ahmad is admitted in M.D. Fla., N.D. Fla., S.D. Fla., D.D.C., W.D. Tex., and D. Colo.
Learn More →Habeas Corpus & Mandamus
When the government unlawfully detains someone or unreasonably delays a decision, federal courts can compel action through habeas corpus or mandamus petitions.
Learn More →Motions to Reopen
A final removal order can sometimes be reopened if there is new evidence, changed country conditions, or your prior attorney provided ineffective assistance. Time limits apply.
Learn More →Asylum & Withholding
Defensive asylum claims, withholding of removal, and Convention Against Torture protection for those in removal proceedings who face persecution in their home country.
Learn More →Waivers & Post-Conviction Relief
§212(h) waivers for criminal inadmissibility and post-conviction relief to vacate guilty pleas entered without proper immigration advisal.
