REPORTED CASES
The following are published court decisions, in which an attorney from our firm represented the petitioner or respondent:
Barrios v. Attorney General, No. 03-3211 (3d Cir. 2005) Our client legally entered the United States at age nine and grew up in New Jersey. He was originally denied suspension of deportation when represented by prior counsel. In 2003, our client married a United States citizen and filed a motion to reopen his deportation case. The motion was denied. We then appealed in federal court. We successfully showed that the lower court had improperly denied relief. The federal court found that the immigration authorities failed to decide a timely, properly filed motion. Thus, our client was permitted to stay in the United States to pursue his green card through marriage to a citizen. In Re Ruiz-Massieu, Interim Decision 3400 (BIA 1999) Our client had served as Deputy Attorney General of Mexico. In 1995, he was arrested by the Customs Service because of his alleged failure to declare currency. Charges in that case were dropped. The United States Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, wrote a letter to the Attorney General, Janet Reno, claiming that our client's presence in this country would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences. After we successfully argued that the case for deportation should be terminated, the government appealed. The record was remanded. In Re West, Interim Decision 3438 (BIA 2000) Our client, who had received one year of probation after pleading guilty to a drug charge and to a charge of receiving stolen property, was detained by the Immigration Service in 1999. After we successfully obtained a $5000 bond for his release, the government appealed. We won the appeal as well, proving that our client was not subject to mandatory detention. Morel v. I.N.S., 90 F.3d 833 (3d. Cir. 1996) Our client, who received his green card when he was seventeen years old, was arrested in 1991, and later pled guilty to a drug charge. We filed his appeal of a deportation order in federal court in 1995. We successfully showed that the lower courts had erred in ordering deportation, because our client could establish the requisite seven years of lawful domicile by relying in part upon domicile of his mother before he reached the age of majority. Ceballos De Leon v. Reno, 58 F. Supp. 2d, 463 (D.N.J. 1999) Our client, who received his green card in 1977, was convicted of a felony in 1995 after pleading guilty to a drug charge. He was married and had two United States citizen daughters and a United States citizen mother. He then suffered a brain injury. We applied for a preliminary injunction prohibiting his deportation. The court concluded that a recent change in the law denied our client the right to obtain review. Morel v. I.N.S., 144 F.3d 248 (3d Cir. 1998) The Immigration Service asked the court to set aside their original opinion in this case in which our client's petition was granted, due to a "court stripping" change in the federal law. The court concluded that this change in the law denied our client the right to obtain review. Matter of Cienfuegos, 17 I. & N. Dec. 184, Interim Decision 2746 (BIA 1979)
