Defending Your Right to Stay

Fighting deportation can be one of the most stressful and life-changing experiences for individuals, their families and their communities. At Kratos Law Group, we are committed to providing strategic, comprehensive, strong and compassionate legal defense for those in removal proceedings. Our firm will fight tirelessly to protect your rights and help you explore every available option to help you remain in the United States legally. Asylum is a form of legal protection available to individuals who have either suffered past persecution or have a well-founded fear of future persecution. If granted, asylum allows you to remain in the U.S., obtain work authorization, and eventually apply for a Green Card after one year. If you are not yet in removal proceedings, you may apply for asylum affirmatively with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). If you are already in removal proceedings before an immigration judge, you may apply for asylum defensively with the Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR).

Our Removal Defense Services include

  1. Representation in Immigration Court if you have received a Notice to Appear (NTA)and are in removal proceedings. We will ensure that your right to defend yourself before an Immigration Judge is not compromised or forfeited. Our firm will carefully analyze your caseto determine the best defense strategy, represent you in hearings and present strong legal arguments on your behalf, challenge government evidence and tirelessly fight for your right to stay in the U.S lawfully.
  2. Defensive Asylum, Withholding of Removal, and Convention Against Torture (CAT) Protection if you have been persecuted in the past or fear future persecution or harm in your home country. Asylum protection is available for people fleeing from their country of origin or last habitual residence because they fear persecution due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. Withholding of Removalprevents deportation if you prove a clear likelihood of persecution in your home country. Convention Against Torture (CAT) Reliefgrants protection from deportation to individuals if they would likely face torture in their home country.
  3. Cancellation of Removal if you have lived in the U.S. for a significant period and meet certain requirements, which can lead to lawful permanent residency (Green Card). We assist with Cancellation of Removal for Lawful Permanent Residents (defense for Green Card holders facing deportation due to legal issues) and Cancellation of Removal for Non-Permanent Residents (applicable to individuals who have been in the U.S. for at least 10 years and meet the certain requirements)
  4. Adjustment of Status & Waivers in certain cases where you may be eligible to adjust your immigration status and obtain a green card while in removal proceedings. We can assist with Green Card applications for individuals already in removal proceedings and facing deportation, as well as assist them with obtaining waivers of inadmissibilityfor certain criminal or immigration violations.
  5. Appeals and Motions to Reopen if you have received a deportation order. It may not be the end of your case. Our legal team can file appeals with the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), prepare and file motions to reopen or reconsiderbased on new evidence, legal errors, or changed circumstances. We can also assist with filing motions to rescind in absentia removal orders and reopen proceedings, when you are ordered removed for failure to attend your immigration hearing, but have a good reason for not attending your hearing.
