Facing Deportation? Get a Defense Strategy Before It Is Too Late.

Who This Page Is For

This page is for people who received a Notice to Appear (NTA), have a master calendar or merits hearing scheduled, are detained by ICE, have an old removal order, or fear deportation because of a denied application, prior conviction, visa overstay, or prior immigration problem.

The Problem

Removal proceedings are intimidating because the government is actively trying to deport you. The court process is formal, deadline-driven, and difficult to navigate without understanding what forms of relief are available, how evidence rules work, and how to prepare testimony.

Many people appear in immigration court without a clear theory of relief — and miss opportunities that were still available. Immigration judges move quickly, and a deadline that passes can permanently close options.

What Is at Stake

A removal order can separate families, end work authorization, create multi-year bars to returning to the United States, and send someone back to a country where they may face serious danger.

In detained cases, the pressure is greater because decisions must be made quickly — often while family members are still trying to gather records and understand what is happening.

How Ehsan Law Helps

Ehsan Law defends clients in immigration courts across the country, including detained cases where timelines are especially tight. We review your full case history, identify every available form of relief, protect deadlines, and prepare you for every hearing.

Our role is not simply to appear in court. It is to build a defense strategy — identify the best legal path, prepare the evidence, and help you understand what each hearing is designed to accomplish.

Our Process

1. Step 1: Urgent Record Review — We review the NTA, court history, prior immigration filings, detention status, and any criminal records before the next hearing.
2. Step 2: Defense Map — We identify every available form of relief — asylum, cancellation of removal, adjustment, voluntary departure, termination, reopening, or appellate options.
3. Step 3: Court Preparation — We prepare the legal filings, evidence packets, and witness materials needed for each hearing stage.
4. Step 4: Hearing Representation — We appear with you at master calendar hearings, bond hearings, and individual merits hearings.
5. Step 5: Post-Decision Strategy — If the case is denied, we evaluate BIA appeal, motion to reopen, stay of removal, or federal court options.
