Removal Proceedings

Fees for removal cases vary greatly, depending on the complexity of the legal issues involved in your case, the number of applications for relief that you need to file, the number of hearings scheduled in your case, the location of your hearings, and whether you are in immigration detention. Most cases require at least one ‘Master’ hearing, one application for ‘relief,’ and one ‘individual’ hearing. John charges separate fees for each required hearing, application, and written motion or brief filed in your case.
