Trusted Legal Help When You’re Facing Removal from the U.S.

If you or someone you love is facing deportation, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed. You may be unsure of what will happen next—or whether there’s any way to stay in the country. At AB Legal Consult, we’re here to tell you that you are not alone. Our firm defends immigrants in Roanoke, VA and surrounding communities who are facing removal, and we fight to protect your right to remain in the United States.

Attorney Akosua Owusua Owusu-Banahene brings years of experience in immigration court proceedings, detention advocacy, and appellate work. From deportation hearings to urgent bond requests, our team delivers clear, personalized legal strategies that give you a real chance to stay and move forward with your life.

We Handle All Types of Deportation Cases

At AB Legal Consult, we know that no two deportation cases are alike. Whether your case involves a past conviction, a missed court hearing, or a denied asylum claim, we provide skilled legal defense built on deep immigration law knowledge and a commitment to results. We regularly assist with:

Asylum & Humanitarian Protection: We help clients in Roanoke apply for asylum, withholding of removal, or protection under the Convention Against Torture (CAT), especially those fleeing persecution and violence.
Cancellation of Removal: For undocumented individuals and permanent residents, this form of relief may prevent deportation based on time in the U.S., family hardship, and good moral character.
Bond Hearings & Detention Release: If you or your loved one has been detained by ICE, often at Farmville Detention Center or transferred from the Roanoke region, we work quickly to file for bond and pursue release.
Waivers for Inadmissibility or Deportability: If past legal issues are affecting your case, we apply for waivers to help eliminate the grounds for removal.
Motions to Reopen: If you missed a hearing or new facts have come to light, we can ask the court to reopen your case and reconsider.
BIA Appeals: If an immigration judge has ruled against you, we can challenge that decision before the Board of Immigration Appeals with detailed legal arguments and briefs.

Our firm combines technical legal skills with an unwavering commitment to every client’s dignity, safety, and future.

Local Representation Rooted in Roanoke, VA

AB Legal Consult is proud to serve immigrants and families throughout Roanoke, Salem, Lynchburg, and nearby Southwest Virginia communities.

We also assist families navigating ICE check-ins, detention transfers, and long-distance court obligations. From the moment you hire us, we take action to stabilize your situation and build a path forward.

Virtual Legal Support for Detained and Non-Detained Clients

I had the privilege of working with Akosua on an EB-1 visa application, and I cannot speak highly enough of her professionalism, expertise, and dedication throughout the entire process.

From the initial consultation, Akosua demonstrated a deep understanding of the EB-1 category and laid out a clear strategy that aligned perfectly with my career background.

She was meticulous in reviewing the credentials, guiding me through the documentation process, and crafting a compelling petition that showcased the qualifications in the best possible light.
What stood out most was Akosua’s attention to detail and her commitment to excellence — every letter, form, and exhibit was handled with precision.

Her communication was prompt and thorough, and she always made time to answer my questions and keep me informed. Thanks to her skill and hard work, my EB-1 petition was approved without a Request for Evidence, which speaks volumes about the strength and clarity of the case she prepared.

If you are considering an EB-1 application, I wholeheartedly recommend Akosua. Her legal acumen, work ethic, and genuine care for her clients set her apart.
