Deportation and Removal
The Atlanta deportation lawyers at Zeribe Law Offices defend immigrants facing deportation or removal due to a violation of the terms of their visa, criminal activities or convictions, or entering the country illegally. Our Atlanta - Lumpkin deportation attorneys and criminal defense lawyers also provide criminal defense representation. By working with immigration officials and the courts, we carefully review actions taken by the government to determine if the client's rights were violated and whether or if extenuating circumstances mitigate the client's responsibilitysuch as: in failing to appear in court, renew their visa, or enter the country properly. Immigration laws have become harsher due to laws passed in 1996. Given the 1996 immigration laws now, even misdemeanors such as simple battery and drunk driving can lead to the institution of removal proceedings against aliens or permanent residents. Nor does it matter how long ago the conviction or admission to the act took place; you could have shoplifted 25 years ago as a youthful prank although the clients may qualifiy for certain relief such as waivers or cancellation of removal, depending on the circumstances of the client. We represent clients on:

* Immigration Holds

* Citizenship and Naturalization
