Deportation Defense Attorney
Attorney Ahmad Yakzan defends against removal in immigration court, the Board of Immigration Appeals, and federal circuit courts across the country. If you or a family member face deportation, every hour matters.
What You're Up Against
A Notice to Appear in immigration court means the government has started the process to remove you from the United States. If you have a criminal conviction — even a minor one — your situation becomes significantly more complex. And if ICE has detained you or a loved one, the clock is already running.
Many people assume there is nothing they can do once the process has started. That is not true. There are legal strategies that can stop, delay, or ultimately cancel removal — but they require an attorney who understands both immigration law and how criminal convictions interact with it.
At American Dream Law Office, Attorney Ahmad Yakzan handles the full spectrum of removal defense: from bond hearings and immigration court to the Board of Immigration Appeals and federal circuit courts. He personally oversees every deportation case.
Defense Strategies
Attorney Yakzan analyzes every available defense strategy based on your specific circumstances — your immigration history, criminal record, family ties, and the government's case against you.
For LPRs with 7+ years of continuous residence or undocumented individuals with 10+ years and U.S. citizen family members who would suffer exceptional hardship.
