Deportation Defense

Defense in removal proceedings

When DHS places a client in removal proceedings, every filing deadline and hearing matters. Montgomery & West provides defense counsel focused on preserving status, securing relief, and — where appropriate — negotiating outcomes.

Matters we handle

• Master calendar and individual merits hearings
• Custody and bond proceedings
• Cancellation of removal (non-LPR and LPR)
• Adjustment and asylum as forms of relief in court
• Motions to reopen, reconsider, and terminate
• Appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals

Our approach

We triage urgency first — detention, impending hearings, and eligibility bars — then build a relief theory supported by testimony, documents, and legal briefing that can withstand cross-examination and appeal.
