Deportation Defense

Maryland Deportation Defense Attorney

In today’s immigration law, a so-called illegal alien (not just overstayed) may face a deportation proceeding. However, this type of proceeding is not just limited to illegal aliens. A permanent resident (green card holder) or even in some cases, United States citizens, also face this kind of proceeding.

At the Law Office of Howard T. Mei in Bethesda, Maryland, our staff represents aliens in a variety of deportation cases. The deportation proceeding can be brought against an alien on many grounds, including for being out of status, re-entering the country without inspection, criminal conviction, and denaturalization.

Some minor offenses can lead to the grave consequence of deportation. If someone you know faces criminal charges, it is important that you call our office so we can try to prevent the outcome of the criminal case leading to deportation. We have experience in coordinating with criminal defense attorneys in order to protect the client’s interests from an immigration perspective. Our office also welcomes criminal defense attorneys to contact us for information on the possible immigration consequences for a client facing criminal charges. We have successfully defended many aliens who faced deportation and eventually helped them secure a green card and/or keep their green cards.

In addition to deportation proceedings, we are also experienced in representing aliens in habeas corpus petitions and federal court appellate cases. Our firm is dedicated to and has been successful in keeping our clients' families intact and maintaining our clients' permanent residency status or citizenship.

Attorney Howard T. Mei has represented clients in Immigration Court and before federal appellate courts all over the United States. He also has filed numerous successful appeals to reverse the decision of the Immigration Courts and the Board of Immigration Appeals. Our office also has filed several successful waiver petitions to waive the grounds for deportation.
