Deportation Litigation

If you have been arrested by immigration authorities or are in deportation/ removal proceedings, you are probably frightened, confused, and concerned about your future and that of your family. At the Law Offices of Serrato Law Firm, we work to level the playing field with the immigration prosecutors, and represent clients in all types of cases. We have successfully litigated cases before the immigration courts through the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal, including cases involving:

Entry Without Inspection, Bail and bond proceedings, Battery, Conspiracy, Domestic Violence, Drug and Narcotic Sales and Possession, Alien Smuggling, Embezzlement, Fraud, Habeas, Corpus Relief, Juvenile Offenses, Sex Offenses, Theft and Grand Larceny, White Collar Crimes, Other Aggravated Felonies and Crimes Involving Moral Turpitude.

Anyone who is arrested should exercise his or her right to remain silent. This means that you should not answer any questions asked by immigration authorities. Just politely say "I want a lawyer," and contact a lawyer as soon as possible. It is important to remember that immigration officers are trained to investigate immigration violations and gather evidence to build a case against you. In their search for evidence, rules are often bent and statements are taken out of context in the pursuit of an arrest and deportation.
