Limited Scope Direct Representation

Deportation and removal orders; asylum, withholding of removal, and Convention Against Torture; waiver requests; cancellation of removal; adjustment of status; administrative closure. For these matters, Emeriti Law provides strategic advice, case assessments, and appellate representation — not direct representation at the trial level.

Cases Decided Without an Attorney

If an immigration judge pretermitted your claims or entered an order against you when you did not have counsel, you may still have the right to appeal or file a motion to reopen. We represent individuals whose cases were decided on the bench without the benefit of legal representation. In many of these situations, meritorious claims were never raised and the respondent never had a meaningful opportunity to present their case. You may not have been able to afford a lawyer for your original case — that does not mean your case is over. A motion to reopen or an appeal may be your last opportunity to protect your right to be heard. Immigration judges are under significant pressure to complete cases quickly, and that pressure can lead to serious errors — decisions made without your full testimony, claims never considered, relief never evaluated. Experienced appellate counsel who can identify those errors and present your right to be heard is a critical asset when your case goes before the Board.

TIME IS CRITICAL: You currently only have 30 days from the date of decision to file. The BIA is seeking to reduce this window further.

Your case deserves to be heard.

Emeriti Law was built on the premise that every client — whether a hospital system managing enforcement risk or an individual who never had the chance to present their case — deserves counsel that understands the system well enough to make sure their position is heard.

Our attorneys spent decades deciding cases from the bench. They know what it takes to build a record that holds up, frame an argument that reaches the decision-maker, and present a case with the precision the forum requires. That is the standard we bring to every matter.
