Brooklyn

Immigration Lawyer in Brooklyn

The hardest stretch of most immigration cases is the waiting, and it gets harder when nobody can tell you whether your file is moving or stuck. 

Ureña & Associates keeps clients out of that fog. We practice immigration law and nothing else, so we can tell you where your petition actually sits in the process and what a request for evidence really signals about your odds.

Rafael Urena founded our firm here in Brooklyn, minutes from the immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, and he built it around the habit of explaining a case in language the client actually uses. Our staff speaks English, Spanish, Arabic, French, Portuguese, and more, so you can describe your situation in your own words and hear the answer back the same way. 

Your first consultation at our Brooklyn office costs nothing. Call (845) 932-0679 or contact us online to get started with an immigration lawyer in Brooklyn today.

What to Do if You Receive an NTA

Receiving a Notice to Appear (NTA) is a serious event that signals the beginning of deportation proceedings, but it is not a final order to leave the country. 

If you get an NTA, be sure to:

  • Read the document thoroughly. The notice outlines the specific factual allegations and immigration violations the government is bringing against you.
  • Attend your scheduled hearing. Missing your court date will result in an automatic deportation order being issued in your absence.
  • Retain legal counsel immediately. Immigration court is complex and adversarial, making an experienced attorney crucial for building a strong defense and keeping your family together.

Navigating removal proceedings is a daunting and highly emotional process, and the stakes could not be higher for you and your loved ones. Because the government employs experienced prosecutors whose sole job is to argue for your removal, facing an immigration judge without professional representation is incredibly risky. We can not only help you decipher the legal complexities of your NTA, but we will also meticulously evaluate your background to identify every available pathway to relief, such as cancellation of removal, asylum, or an adjustment of status. 

By acting quickly and securing a dedicated advocate, you can challenge the government’s claims, protect your fundamental rights, and fight to preserve your future in the United States.
