Immigration representation for serious, high-stakes matters
Robert Urenda Law focuses on removal defense, immigration appeals, detention, and related matters. Every case begins with a short questionnaire so Robert can understand what is happening and decide how best to help.
BIA and federal court appeals
Deadlines in immigration appeals are often short. Robert represents clients seeking review of immigration court and BIA decisions, including motions to reopen when a prior case may still have a path forward. If you recently received a decision, do not wait to get advice.
Removal defense in immigration court
Robert represents people facing deportation in immigration court. The work may include evaluating cancellation of removal, asylum and related protection, adjustment of status, waivers, or arguments that proceedings should end. The right strategy depends on the record, deadlines, and facts of the individual case.
Immigration detention and release
When ICE detains someone, families need clear answers quickly. Robert handles immigration bond matters and, in appropriate cases, federal habeas corpus actions challenging detention. For an urgent detention matter, call 214-801-8118.
Criminal convictions and immigration consequences
A charge, plea, or conviction can affect immigration status in ways that are easy to miss. Robert works with clients and criminal defense counsel to understand those consequences and, when possible, identify options that reduce immigration risk.
Challenges to removability and motions to terminate
A conviction does not automatically make every noncitizen removable. Robert analyzes the criminal statute, record of conviction, and the government’s allegations, and argues for termination when the law and facts support it.
Family-based immigration and USCIS matters
Robert handles selected family-based, adjustment, naturalization, citizenship, and related USCIS matters, as well as certain motions and administrative appeals. The questionnaire helps determine whether the firm is the right fit before a consultation is scheduled.
Selected humanitarian immigration matters
The firm considers selected U visa, VAWA, and Special Immigrant Juvenile Status matters. These cases can be sensitive, and the initial questionnaire lets you share the essential facts privately before Robert reviews the matter. When you are ready, choose Start Here at the top of the page.
