NYC Immigration & Deportation Defense Attorney

Protecting Immigrants and Families Across New York City

Facing deportation or immigration charges in New York City can feel overwhelming. Whether you live in Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, or Staten Island, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Your future, your family, and your right to remain in the United States may all be on the line.
At Hughes Law, we stand up for immigrants facing removal proceedings and criminal-related immigration consequences throughout the NYC area.

Experienced NYC Deportation Defense

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) may initiate removal (deportation) proceedings for reasons such as overstaying a visa, entering the U.S. unlawfully, or being convicted of certain crimes. In NYC, your case will typically appear before the New York Immigration Court or Varick Street Immigration Court.
Our firm represents clients before these courts, as well as in federal appeals and bond hearings.

Common Reasons for Removal Proceedings in NYC

  • Unlawful entry or visa overstay

  • Green card or work visa violations

  • Immigration fraud or misrepresentation

  • Criminal convictions (drug, theft, assault, DUI, firearms, or other offenses)

Even a minor charge can put your status at risk. Our NYC deportation defense lawyer builds a personalized strategy to fight removal and protect your rights.
