Deportation Defense Lawyers in Skokie
Representing Clients in Removal Proceedings in Illinois
Deportation is a very complex issue that is emotionally draining and that impacts immigrants and their loved ones daily. For undocumented individuals, being arrested by immigration detention officials and being ordered to leave the U.S. are the most frightening things a person can face. Every year, thousands of families are torn apart because of removal proceedings. Receiving a notice to appear before an immigration court is a very serious matter. Your future is at stake.
If you or your family member has been detained, it is important to remember that even undocumented immigrants have rights, too. The United States government cannot remove you without due process of law. Having said that, you will have to present yourself in a removal hearing in an immigration court. Our trusted deportation defense attorneys in Skokie can help present a strong defense to protect your rights and your ability to remain in the country.

You Need an Aggressive Defense
Immigration falls under administrative law. Its rules and procedures are unique and very complicated, making it extremely important for an individual who faces deportation to seek the assistance of a highly skilled deportation defense attorney in Skokie. Removal proceedings—whether based on inadmissibility or deportability—affect your ability to remain in the United States as well as your ability to come back to the United States in the future.
The Deportation Process
So, what is the court process for removal proceedings? Understanding the process you face will help you ensure that your rights are not violated and that you are ready for what is to come. In a nutshell, the process goes as follows:
- The government presents the "NTA.” The NTA is the "Notice to Appear" before the court, as the demand for deportation. Any civil suit (not criminal) is an opportunity to answer the allegations.
- Attend master calendar hearing. This is a hearing to answer the allegations in the NTA. Think of it as a status hearing. Pleadings are typically taken at this stage.
- Determine eligibility for bond. This is a deposit delivered to the court to ensure someone’s appearance in court. Everyone is entitled to ask for a bond except for those with previous deportations or certain crimes.
- Individual hearing. This is a hearing on whether the immigrant can show if they are eligible for the relief requested.
