Immigration Issues Can Be Complex
Immigration law is a nuanced practice area with its own set of federal and state laws. It involves complex legal processes and documentation, various forms of immigration and naturalization, frequent legal and policy changes, and stressful deportation and removal proceedings. The most effective way to protect your rights as someone with an immigration issue in New Jersey is by hiring a qualified immigration attorney in New Jersey to represent you.
If you are dealing with a pending or previous criminal matter, for example, you could be at risk of deportation. An attorney who is qualified to handle immigration cases can analyze the critical issues affecting your criminal case and determine how they may impact your status in the United States. Your lawyer can immediately strategize removal defense and search for available sources of relief on your behalf.
What Is Detention or Custody?
The U.S. government may detain or take an individual into custody during an immigration proceeding. This is common during a criminal matter, as well as if someone is facing deportation and must await the outcome of an immigration hearing. Some detention centers in New Jersey are dedicated to immigration matters while others are simply county jails.
The length of detention can vary widely, from a few days to years, depending on the legal challenges involved in a case. Being detained is a loss of freedom that can separate you from your family for an unknown length of time while your immigration case waits for the next stage. This can be frightening and lead to feelings of hopelessness.
The Law Offices of Jeffrey S. Hasson, P.C. can intervene on your behalf, with your lawyer taking the best course of action to fight your detention or removal from the country. You may be eligible for release on bond, for example, or parole. Your lawyer may also be able to fight for alternatives to detention, such as electronic monitoring.
