Defending Your Right to Remain

Deportation & Removal Defense

Facing deportation proceedings? We fight to keep you in the United States — cancellation of removal, VAWA cancellation, adjustment of status, prosecutorial discretion, motions to terminate, and every other available form of relief.

Criminal Convictions & Immigration

An arrest, plea, or conviction can lead to deportation or block a green card or citizenship. We analyze how a criminal case affects immigration status, challenge removal charges based on convictions, and advise criminal defense attorneys before a plea is entered.

Asylum, Withholding of Removal & CAT

Comprehensive representation for individuals seeking protection under U.S. law. We build strong cases grounded in country conditions evidence, expert declarations, and thorough legal briefing at every stage.

Family-Based Immigration

Green card petitions for spouses, children, parents, and siblings, including marriage-based green cards. We handle I-130s, consular processing, adjustment of status, and navigate complications like unlawful presence bars and waivers.

Immigration Appeals & Federal Court

Appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) when an immigration judge gets it wrong, and petitions for review in the federal Courts of Appeals, including the Second Circuit, when the BIA does. Habeas corpus petitions for immigrants held in detention.

VAWA & U-Visa

Confidential representation for survivors of domestic violence, abuse, and certain crimes. Self-petitions under the Violence Against Women Act and U-visa applications for crime victims.

Business & Employment Immigration

Strategic representation for professionals, entrepreneurs, and employers. EB-1 extraordinary ability, O-1 visas, national interest waivers, and employer-sponsored immigration from PERM through adjustment of status.

USCIS Applications & Benefits

Naturalization and U.S. citizenship, green card renewals, employment authorization, travel documents, TPS, and other benefits applications. We prepare every filing to build the administrative record and protect your rights on appeal.

Tax Controversy

Representation before the IRS in audits, appeals, collections, offers in compromise, penalty abatement, innocent spouse relief, and collection due process hearings. We protect your rights when the IRS comes calling.

BIA Appeals and Motions

Appeal briefs to the Board of Immigration Appeals, motions to reopen and reconsider, and stay requests, written from a full read of the record.

Federal Court Litigation

Petition-for-review briefs in the Courts of Appeals. Habeas corpus petitions under 28 U.S.C. § 2241, emergency motions, and replies. Mandamus and Administrative Procedure Act complaints.

Immigration Court Merits

Pre-hearing briefs on asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture. Client declarations, motions to terminate, and bond submissions.

USCIS Responses and Appeals

Responses to Requests for Evidence and Notices of Intent to Deny, Form I-290B motions, and appeals to the Administrative Appeals Office, written to build the record for review.

Research and Case Assessment

Research memoranda, record review, and case assessments that give you the law, the risks, and a recommended strategy before you commit to a course. Immigration-consequences analysis for criminal defense counsel before a plea.

How It Works

Each project is scoped and priced in writing before work begins, on a flat-fee or hourly basis. I run a conflicts check first and hold all client information in confidence. I do not contact your clients, the court, or opposing counsel unless you direct it. Drafts arrive filing-ready in Word.

Mr. Dann is an excellent immigration attorney, very knowledgeable, great communicator and truly showed the interest in my case. I had a deadline and he helped me to get my case in on time and weeks to spare. He goes above and beyond for his clients.

— Catrina

Very compassionate man. Spent more time with me than any other attorney and was clear and concise. Willing to do research and very upfront.

— Deb

It was very clear from our initial phone consultation that he not only was knowledgeable about his area of immigration law, but he is definitely someone that really has a true passion for what he does everyday!
