Arlington, VA Deportation Defense Lawyer

Defending Your Right to Stay. Protecting What Matters Most.

Being placed in removal proceedings is one of the most urgent and frightening challenges any immigrant can face. At AB Legal Consult, we provide aggressive and compassionate deportation defense to individuals and families in Arlington, VA and throughout Northern Virginia. If you or someone you love is at risk of deportation, we are ready to step in, protect your rights, and fight for your future.

Led by Attorney Akosua Owusua Owusu-Banahene, our firm is deeply experienced in removal defense, representing clients before the Arlington Immigration Court, the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Whether you’re detained or living at home, our firm will help you understand your legal options and develop a strategy to stop deportation.

Strategic Defense Against a Wide Range of Deportation Cases

Our firm handles the full spectrum of deportation-related matters, providing personalized guidance and robust representation in complex immigration cases. Services include:

Asylum & Withholding of Removal: We help individuals fleeing danger in their home countries build strong humanitarian claims to remain in the U.S.
Cancellation of Removal: If you’ve lived in the U.S. for years and can show hardship to a U.S. citizen or permanent resident family member, we may be able to cancel your removal and secure lawful status.
Bond Hearings & Detention Representation: We act quickly to request bond hearings and seek release from ICE detention centers, including those used to hold individuals from Arlington, Fairfax, and surrounding areas.
Waivers for Criminal Convictions or Misrepresentation: We help clients apply for waivers to overcome prior immigration or criminal issues that could lead to deportation.
Motions to Reopen or Reconsider: If you missed a hearing or received a removal order due to an error, we can help you petition to reopen your case.
Appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA): We prepare persuasive briefs and advocate for clients who need to challenge an unfavorable decision by an immigration judge.

No two deportation cases are the same. We take time to understand your background, your goals, and your unique path toward staying in the United States.
