Representation of (a) an individual in any removal, exclusion, deportation, bond, or <br />expedited removal proceedings under section 212(d)(5)(A), 235(b)(1)(B), 236, 238, 240, <br />or 241 or in any matter related to any such proceeding before U.S. Citizenship and <br />Immigration Services, any State court, or any court created under article III of the <br />Constitution of the United States. <br />2.

Representation of an individual subject to removal in limited scope withholding-only <br />proceedings before a federal immigration judge. <br />4. Representation of an individual seeking relief from an Immigration Judge’s final <br />administrative order in prior removal proceedings directly with the Immigration Court, <br />including via motions to reopen or reconsider. <br />5. Representation of an individual in state court proceedings related to removal defense, such <br />as proceedings regarding Special Immigrant Juvenile Status and Post-Conviction Relief. <br />6. Representation of derivative family members in related immigration petitions or <br />applications. <br />7. Provision of limited scope services to pro se individuals detained in immigration raids, <br />such as conducting legal consultations, providing legal advice, and preparing individuals <br />for credible and reasonable fear interviews. <br /> <br />The firm, at its discretion, may provide appellate representation to clients that it represented before <br />an immigration judge. Should the firm determine that appellate representation is warranted, <br />appellate representation services may include, but not be limited to, the following types of legal <br />services: <br />8. Assist in submitting Motions to Reopen to the Board of Immigrant Appeals (BIA) and <br />filing petitions for review, along with motions for stays of removal with the Federal Court <br />of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
