Siskind Susser’s attorneys defend noncitizens facing the threat of deportation, and support those applying for humanitarian protections and waivers involving criminal histories.
At the immigration courts, we zealously fight for our clients’ rights to remain free and united with their families, though more well-known defenses such as cancellation of removal and asylum, as well as more complex protections such as waivers for fraud or criminal offenses. Outside of immigration court, we assist clients with humanitarian protections such as U visas for survivors of crime, T visas for survivors of human trafficking, VAWA for survivors of domestic abuse, asylum for people who fear persecution in their home countries, Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJ) for abused or abandoned children, as well as other creative options for noncitizens without immigration status such as Temporary Protected Status (TPS), Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), Humanitarian Parole, and stays of removal.
Our attorneys also advise noncitizens and criminal defense attorneys about the complex immigration consequences of criminal convictions, and find solutions for noncitizens whose past contact with the criminal justice system requires special waivers or creative legal arguments.
