U.S. Immigration Defense - Detention, Deportation & Removal Defense Lawyers

If a United States court finds a violation of it’s laws, the Departments of Homeland Security and Immigration, Customs and Enforcement (“ICE”) can legally remove ("deport") any person who is not a U.S. citizen, even a legal permanent resident.

In certain circumstances, the United States government can also seek to revoke citizenship.

At Teplen & Associates, we use our knowledge and the decades of experience we have with the U.S. immigration system, to provide effective defense representation, on behalf of clients in the New York City area and throughout the United States. If you or your family are currently being held in detention or have received a "Notice to Appear" from the USCIS, the sooner you or your loved one retain legal representation, the better.

Available Forms of Relief

Available forms of relief vary on a case by case basis. They will depend upon numerous factors: immigration status, country of origin, your circumstances, family relationships and why you were detained. Our lawyers carefully evaluate every fact of your case, to passionately advocate your release from detention and to allow you to remain in the United State, with your family. We fight for your immigration relief through the following actions:

• applying for an adjustment of status to permanent resident
• seeking a waiver
• seeking cancellation of removal
• a stay of deportation or voluntary departure and deferred action status and parole

Under certain circumstances, if you have a spouse and children legally in the United States and dependent on your emotional or financial support, you might petition for Suspension of Deportation or Cancellation of Removal, on the basis of the "extreme hardship" your family would suffer if you were deported from the U.S.

In any case, whether you have been taken into custody as a suspected "terrorist" for allegedly committing some type of crime, or simply because you forgot to apply for an extension to your visa, attorneys at Teplen & Associates will provide you with the same high level of quality and service.

Order of Supervision 

Applications can be made for equitable relief in cases based on a specialized, physical and/or mental need. This allows a non-resident and their immediate family to remain in the U.S. for an extended period for treatment not readily available in their home country. This is a renewable remedy and does not create any additional unlawful presence.

We have extensive experience in immigration appeals.
