PRACTICE AREAS
Consumer Law Group provides full-service immigration representation nationwide, with a concentration on complex, urgent, and court-based immigration cases.
The firm represents individuals and families in immigration court proceedings, including defense against deportation and removal. Attorneys regularly defend clients facing removal and represent individuals held in immigration detention, pursuing release through bond and parole while simultaneously fighting their cases in court.
Consumer Law Group has extensive experience representing individuals seeking protection based on fear of harm or persecution in their home country, including cases involving asylum and related humanitarian protections. These cases are handled from initial evaluation through court representation and final decision.
The firm also represents survivors of crime, trafficking, domestic violence, and abuse through humanitarian and victim-based immigration options. Attorneys guide clients through these processes from eligibility review through filing and long-term legal protection.
Family-based immigration is a core part of the firm’s practice. Consumer Law Group helps families reunite through permanent residence applications, consular processing for family members abroad, and sponsorship of qualifying relatives. The firm also assists families who must overcome prior immigration violations or unlawful presence through hardship-based relief.
Additional services include employment authorization applications, renewal of temporary protections, lawful permanent resident card renewals, and applications for U.S. citizenship. The firm also represents clients in immigration appeals and post-decision motions when prior cases have been denied or closed.
Consumer Law Group is designed to represent immigrants at every stage of the immigration process, whether the case involves government agencies, immigration courts, or appellate review, and provides nationwide representation through virtual consultations.
