Under the supervision of attorney Christian Vega, we represent detention clients on a daily basis, seeking bond or protection against deportation. We provide free consultations for clients held in detention centers in Virginia, and stand ready to represent detainees when there is a realistic chance of bond or protection from removal. We have secured a bond for the vast majority of detainees we have represented.
Seeking a bond out of detention may be difficult, particularly for those charged with DUI, gang-affiliation, domestic violence, theft and fraud. While in some situations a bond is unlikely, or not available, in others the charges may be overblown, inaccurate or a limited incident over a lifetime of good conduct. We will give you solid advice on your prospects.
Many in detention are seeking protection under the asylum laws of the United States. We have represented detained clients seeking Asylum or Withholding of Removal based on political, religious or social group persecution, winning cases in recent years for clients from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Haiti, Cuba, Uganda, Cameroon, The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Sierra Leone, Burundi, and Equatorial Guinea.
Other detained clients seek a chance at residency based on marriage or family ties to US citizens or residents, or based on the impact their removal would have on their US dependents.
Our consults are free of charge as a service to our clients in detention and their families. Court representation will be subject to a contract with one of our attorneys.
