Deportations

our practice areas

At Carreras Law, we provide experienced immigration court representation and removal defense at every stage of the proceedings. As deportation attorneys in Orlando, we take the time to understand your immigration history, identify available forms of relief, and build a case designed to address the legal requirements that apply to you and your personal situation. The process begins when the Department of Homeland Security issues a Notice to Appear (Form I-862) and files it with the Immigration Court in Florida. From that moment, you are a respondent in a federal adversarial proceeding, with a government attorney on the other side of the courtroom. Therefore, we are here to help you understand your rights, your options, and the best path moving forward for your case.

Our Immigration Court Representation

We represent individuals facing removal and deportation proceedings in matters including:

Master Calendar Hearings: Representation during initial hearings, pleadings, scheduling, and case management.
Individual Merits Hearings: Preparing and presenting evidence, testimony, and legal arguments in support of applications for relief from removal.
Cancellation of Removal: Representation for qualifying lawful permanent residents under INA § 240A(a) and non-permanent residents under INA § 240A(b).
Asylum and Humanitarian Protection: Assistance with asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (CAT).
Adjustment of Status: Pursuing adjustment of status before the Immigration Court, including applicable waivers.

Prosecutorial Discretion: Requesting that the government exercise discretion in appropriate removal cases.

Our Perspective, Experience From Both Sides of The Courtroom

Our firm brings a unique perspective to immigration court representation. Our founding attorney previously served as an Immigration Judge before returning to private practice and has practiced immigration law exclusively for more than 18 years in Orlando. We understand how Immigration Judges evaluate evidence, legal arguments, testimony, and credibility. This experience means we prepare a case the way the bench reads one, by organizing around the elements the judge must find, with an exhibit record that answers each of them.

Building a Strong Removal Defense

Since every removal case is different. The available defenses and forms of relief depend on:

Your immigration history
Family circumstances
Criminal history
Prior applications
The specific allegations contained in your Notice to Appear

Our goal is to present a clear, well-supported case that addresses the elements the Immigration Judge must consider when making a decision.
