Deportation Defense
When an individual is determined to be inadmissible or removable (deportable) from the U.S., usually for “overstaying” his visa or committing a crime, a waiver or an application for relief from removal may be available to allow him to enter or remain in the U.S. Attorney Rob Herrington can determine eligibility for a waiver and assist in the preparation of the application. Additionally, he represents individuals who have been placed in removal or deportation proceedings, including those who are in immigration detention facilities. Attorney Herrington is experienced in assisting clients seeking relief from removal through cancellation of removal, asylum, and withholding of removal.
It is essential that you have a legal consultation before any attorney can make a recommendation regarding your case.
At times, the most efficient way to help a client avoid deportation is to first fight and win his case in criminal court. Please visit other pages on this site to find out what kind of cases that Attorney Herrington handles.
Sometimes, the simplest and most important thing to do is to not sign legal papers in criminal court, given the drastic immigration consequences that a guilty plea can have .
In other cases, a deportation order might be postponed until a later date, while we fight the deportation order at the Board of Immigration Appeals. Such an appeal can last many months, and you can often be permitted to remain in the United States while your case is under review in the courts.

As you can see, if you or a loved one are facing deportation or removal, you should not attempt to fight the government of the United States of America, with its vast resources, alone. Consult an experienced attorney promptly.
