Do I need a lawyer (attorney) to represent me in Immigration Court at 26 Federal Plaza NYC? This is a question I hear all too often. Well, let’s put it this way . . . Does it make sense to go to a doctor when you feel sick or suffered an injury. I think the analogy makes sense. Being placed in removal/deportation proceedings through service of a Notice to Appear commanding that you appear in Immigration Court at 26 Federal Plaza, New York, NY is a setback, but it may also be a blessing in disguise. There are certain applications that can be filed only with an Immigration Judge. So, the short answer is you would likely be a fool if you don’t hire an immigration attorney to represent you. The laws, codes, regulations and policies continue to change almost daily. Hiring an experienced immigration lawyer attorney is worth the investment.
