What to Do if Your Immigration Attorney Has Made a Serious Mistake
The ineffective assistance of counsel argument is a powerful tool that can be used to prevent deportation. If your attorney has made a serious mistake that resulted in the denial of your immigration petition or the issuance of a removal order, and you have not yet been deported, it may be possible to successfully appeal the denial or removal order.
At Sarian Law Group, APLC, we are strong advocates for people who have been denied effective counsel. When you retain our firm to represent you, we will use all available avenues to prevent your removal or to obtain a reversal of an adverse immigration decision.

Act Quickly to Obtain Capable Legal Representation
If your immigration petition has been denied or you have been issued a removal order, you have only 30 days to file an appeal to the Administrative Appeals Unit (AAU). In certain circumstances, it may be possible to successfully appeal beyond the 30-day deadline based on ineffective counsel, but you should not delay.
Regardless of the specific facts of your case, you should act quickly to obtain the advice of an experienced immigration attorney.
