Since the beginning of time people have been creating and crossing borders. Immigration and nationality are essential to business, families and the global economy. Over the past ten years the immigration laws of the United States have changed significantly and have become more strict. MAZAHERI GADD provides zealous advocacy in all immigration matters. Specifically, our firm enjoys representing clients in immigration court for removal and asylum hearings.

Many removal hearings, formally known as deportation hearings, originate from imprudent immigration filings. Prior to filing any immigration petitions or naturalization applications, MAZAHERI GADD strongly encourages a consultation with an attorney. Immigration law is complex and uncertainties are almost a guarantee.

Affirmative applications or petitions that may be filed are:

• Employment Based Petitions

• Family Based Petitions

• Violence Against Womens Act (VAWA)

• Adjustment of Status

• Naturalization

• Appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA)

• Convention Against Torture (CAT)

• Witholding of Removal

• 212(h) and 212(c) Relief

• 245(i) Waiver

If you, a family member or an employee need to discuss any of the above or any immigration and nationality matter please feel free to contact MAZAHERI GADD. Furthermore, we encourage all non-citizens who have been accused of a crime to seek an immediate consultation with an immigration attorney. Our firm has also assisted non-citizens in post conviction relief in the State of Florida.
