Deportation Defense

Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas, Deportation Defense Attorneys

Deportation can disrupt and even ruin the lives of immigrants living in the U.S. At the Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas immigration law firm of Chavez & Valko, our goal is to help all people who wish to live in the U.S. 1) obtain the legal right to live here, and 2) enjoy the security of knowing their right to live here will not be taken away.

Deportation proceedings most often begin after an alleged immigration or criminal violation occurs and after a Notice to Appear is issued. If you have received a Notice to Appear in relation to possible deportation, you have an opportunity to contest any charges and request an immigration remedy to allow you to remain in the U.S.

The immigration attorneys of Chavez & Valko can help, and have significant experience representing people in deportation proceedings.

• "Dear Mr. Valko, Please accept our since appreciation and gratitude for your solid and persistent effort and representation that you and your law firm has fulfilled on our behalf over the last couple of years in correcting Natalia's immigration status with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.
  
  We genuinely thought that our case was too daunting a challenge and insurmountable when looking ahead to navigating the important, yet intimidating, Immigration and Naturalization process present here in the United States. When we consulted with you in the beginning, we presented you with an 8-year old Legacy case from a different jurisdiction with plentiful uncertainty... . You analyzed Natalia's immigration status and her situation after she was ordered deported, and without any guarantee of success of outcome, you agreed to take on the challenge of bringing our case up to current and lawful status... .
  
  During the two-year progression and through the entire legal process - reopening the previous removal proceeding, transferring venue, securing a joint motion to terminate removal proceedings, and adjusting Natalia's status with the USCIS - you remained positive and confident in your abilities to navigate us through the challenges. You continuously encouraged us to remain positive and strong, even through the most difficult challenges, and you proved time and time again that your advice was truthful and correct. We have come to know and admire your truthfulness, sincerity, understanding and compassion. You are exceptional at who you are personally and at what you do professionally.
  
  We appreciate your professional knowledge and skill greatly, and we definitely extend a strong recommendation of your services to anyone seeking professional legal immigration assistance.
  
  Sincerely and with very warm regards."

• "My family and I would like to thank the attorneys from the immigration law firm of Chavez & Valko LLP for the great work fulfilled in my immigration case which had a happy ending. I remember when I arrived at their office with my case, which I knew was very difficult to win, since the immigration law argued that a criminal case like the one I had was eligible for deportation and my options were minimal, and after having consulted with other attorneys from Texas, which informed me that I did not have any possibilities of recovering my residence. With their experience and great knowledge in immigration law, their perseverance and professionalism, they were able to win my case in my favor in Dallas immigration court (EOIR). I would like to give special thanks to immigration lawyer Gary Frost and Eduardo who were with us at all time giving us support, security and great optimism."
