Los Angeles Immigration Assistance Is Important When You Face Deportation

By Cynthia Powell


Many people come into the United States from other countries every year. Most of them enter legally in order to work, study, or visit. Some cross borders illegally and try to get enough paperwork so they can find better jobs than the ones available to them in their native country. The prospect of getting deported is probably in the back of the minds of most of these people, whether they have a legal right to be in the country or not. If you face deportation in Los Angeles CA, there is Los Angeles immigration assistance available.

If you are on the Department of Homeland Security's list for removal, you will receive an official notice from the court. This notice will include your identification number and your name and address. The charges that have been filed against you will be outlined on the notice as well. If you can't read English or have trouble understanding the language, you must get someone to read and explain it to you.

This type of court notification must be dealt with promptly. You will need the best representation you can afford. Before you commit to hiring an attorney though, you should make certain that person is a member of the state bar and has experience and expertise in these types of matters. An attorney who is familiar with the way the court works will explain to you what will happen in your case. He or she should contact the court to make sure your initial hearing is on the schedule.

Your attorney will need to explain the two different types of hearings you will have to attend. First there is the master hearing which is basically a preliminary appearance in which your lawyer will go over the charges and any other pertinent information. The judge will then discuss any administrative issues and may schedule the next court date at that time. The individual hearing is the time when you will actually face the charges against you and your attorney will argue your case.

Before the day of your hearing you need to find out where the courthouse is located and decide how you will get there. You should be sure to give yourself enough time to make certain you are not late. The judge will not wait on you and can issue a warrant for your arrest.

Most lawyers complain that a lot of their clients don't seem to know how to dress or act in the courtroom. They have to tell clients to make sure they are clean and neat. Covering tattoos and minimizing the appearance of facial piercings is a good idea.

Many immigrants are terrified that, if the court decides to remove them from the country, they will be detained in jail until they are put on a transport and taken back over the border. This does not usually happen. Most courts are sensitive enough to allow individuals to leave on a voluntary basis.

The easiest way to avoid a deportation hearing is to enter the country legally with the proper paperwork. Many who are not citizens live, study, and work in the United States for years without any problems.
