Does U.S. Government appoint an attorney?
- Determine if the detained person has a previously issued order of deportation
- Learn about the first deportation court time and day by calling 1-800-898-7180 (A-Number is required). The information about the first deportation court date won’t be available if there is a previously issued order of deportation.
- U.S. government does not provide a deportation lawyer regardless of financial standing of the defendant.
- Some non-citizens in New York may be entitled to an attorney under the New York Immigrant Family Unity Project (NYIFUP). Hiring a private attorney automatically disqualifies the detained person from the program.
- A NYIFUP deportation lawyer speaks to the detained person on the day of the first court date to decide if they qualify for the NYIFUP.
- If the person qualifies, they will be represented by the NYIFUP lawyer immediately. If they do not qualify, they will be given more time to find a deportation lawyer.
- It is important to contact an deportation attorney as soon as possible! Contact us and we will help you!
How long does it take?
- In most cases, the first deportation court hearing is held 2 months after the arrest
- The process may take several months or years.
- Some may be entitled to a “bond hearing” a few months after the arrest
- Some may be entitled to a “bond hearing” not before 6 months after the arrest
- It is important to have sufficient funds prepared in advance to cover the bond amount.
