"I had a great experience working with Sam on my E-2 visa from Canada. After dealing with two unresponsive attorneys, Sam was a huge relief—always responsive, professional, and reliable. He consistently answered my calls or followed up within a few hours. His fees were reasonable, and the level of service was truly five-star. Thank you, Sam, for your outstanding support and guidance throughout the process. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of an immigration attorney."
"We had a good experience working with Sam and Jahy. Sam laid out the groundwork in the beginning and Jahy kept us informed as to how to respond to our immigration forms. Jahy answered all of our questions in a timely manner. Faragalla Law firm was a good choice for us."
"My relative got detained and we called a few law firms. Out of all of them, Sam was the most knowledgeable. He was able to get my uncle released and we are forever grateful."
"I initially hesitated to work with Sam because he was blunt and honest, while other attorneys made big promises. In hindsight, I realized that his straightforwardness was a strength. The other lawyers ended up charging me extra for services I didn't need, while he provided clear and realistic advice. I wish I had gone with him from the start. If you want someone who tells it like it is, he's a great choice!"

Common Questions About Texas Deportation Defense Law
Deportation is the legal process the government uses to try to remove a person from the United States. In immigration court, a deportation defense attorney can review the allegations, challenge errors in the government’s case, identify available relief, and prepare evidence showing why you should be allowed to remain. The right legal response depends on your immigration history, family ties, criminal record, if any, and eligibility for relief from removal.
If you are detained by immigration authorities such as ICE, you still have rights, including the right to remain silent, the right to contact an attorney, and the right to avoid signing documents you do not understand. In some cases, an immigration bond hearing may be available so an immigration judge can decide whether release from custody is appropriate. Families should act quickly to locate the detained person, gather records, and understand the next court or custody deadline.
A deportation defense case can take months or longer depending on the immigration court schedule, detention status, available relief, evidence needed, and whether appeals or motions become necessary. Detained cases often move faster, while non-detained removal proceedings may involve multiple hearings over a longer period of time. Faragalla Law prepares each stage around deadlines, court requirements, and the evidence needed to protect the person’s position before the judge.
Cancellation of removal is a form of relief that may allow certain people in removal proceedings to stay in the United States if they meet specific legal requirements. Eligibility can depend on factors such as length of residence, good moral character, qualifying family relationships, hardship to a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident relative, and prior immigration or criminal history. Texas deportation defense lawyers can evaluate whether this relief fits the case before evidence and testimony are prepared for immigration court.
