Here are a few of our Firm’s more interesting and unique successes:

P-O- was facing deportation due to criminal convictions for fraud.  The Government asserted that the frauds totaled over $50,000, which in turn made P-O- deportable as an aggravated felon.   After making detailed and technical arguments against the Government’s assertion the Immigration Judge agreed with Mr. Latimore that the loss amount could not be properly proven by the Government and the Judge refused to find that P-O had committed an aggravated felony or that he was removable as an aggravated felon.

F-G- is a green card holder who had served a lengthy prison sentence for a state crime which he plead guilty to.  He hired the Latimore Law Firm to fight his deportation after the Department of Homeland Security placed him into removal proceedings upon the completion of his prison sentence. The Government alleged that F-G had committed an aggravated felony crime of violence and was therefore deportable.  The family had been told by other attorneys that there was no chance to beat the crime of violence aggravated felony ground of removability.  The Latimore Law Firm went before the Immigration Court and denied that the crime F-G- was convicted of was an aggravated felony crime of violence, challenging that ground of removability by filing a lengthy, well written, and well supported brief with the Immigration Court.  The Immigration Judge agreed with the Latimore Law Firm, dismissing the Government’s arguments and finding F-G- not removable for the aggravated felony crime of violence charge.

H-K- a legal permanent resident, had been denied her citizenship at an interview with USCIS due to Government allegations of marriage fraud, bigamy (being married to more than one person at once), and moral character issues.  She hired the Latimore Law Firm after her denial and we refilled for her citizenship including a brief on the various legal issues present in her case.  H-K’s N-400 was approved at her next interview.  She has since attended her swearing in and been granted citizenship.

F-B- had been in the United States for 15 years.  He and his wife who live in Nevada had after many failed attempts at having an I-130 spousal visa petition granted hired the Latimore Law Firm to handle their case.  Subsequently their I-130 was approved, despite allegations of marriage fraud from a previous marriage.  F-B- continues to process and move closer to legal permanent residency.

R-B- has been fighting deportation from the US for over 10 years with different attorneys all over the country.  He recently hired the Latimore Firm after he was ordered removed by an Immigration Judge after being convicted of cocaine trafficking, an aggravated felony for immigration purposes.  The Latimore Firm was able to successfully reopen his case even though he had been ordered removed years before and will now proceed before the Immigration Court filing for a waiver under 212(c), which if granted will allow him to remain in the US as a Legal Permanent Resident despite his “aggravated felony” drug trafficking conviction.

P-I- was represented by another attorney before the Board of Immigration Appeals.  That attorney failed to inform P-I- after he received the Board’s decision denying his appeal.  By the time P-I- came to the Latimore Law Firm he was out of time to appeal the Board’s decision or request a motion to reopen.  Multiple other attorneys P-I- consulted told him that there was nothing left to do in his case.  The Latimore Law Firm filed with the Board of Immigration Appeals, which reissued its prior opinion, reinstating P-I-’s rights to appeal to the US Court of Appeals or to ask The Board of Immigration Appeals for reopening or remand, giving him a second chance at deportation relief.

The Latimore Law Firm was hired to represent S-S- after his previous attorney had failed to obtain a bond for him for over two months.  Mr. Latimore appeared on S-S-’ behalf and he was granted bond less than two weeks after our firm was hired.  We continue to represent S-S- in his request for asylum, with holding of removal, and protection under the convention against torture before a different Immigration Court after changing venue at S-S-‘s request, so he may remain here in the U.S.

O-O- hired the Latimore Law Firm to appeal his case to the U.S. Court of Appeals after the Board of Immigration Appeal denied him relief.  The Latimore Law Firm filed a Petition for Review with the U.S. Circuit Court, fully briefing the Court of Appeals on the Board’s various errors in coming to its decision.  The Court of Appeals in turn ordered the case remanded to the Board of Immigration Appeals, agreeing with the Latimore Law Firm, finding multiple errors in the Board’s decision.

R-G- had been ordered removed even though he never received notification of his removal hearing.  He hired the Latimore Law Firm after he was taken into custody during a routine traffic stop.  Despite other attorneys R-G- and his family consulted telling them that there was no hope to reopen the case, the Latimore Law Firm was able to vacate the removal order against him, reopen his case, get him a very low bond, and appear before the Immigration Court on his behalf where the affirmative relief requested was granted by the Immigration Judge.  Without taking these steps R-G- would have been deported and would face a five year bar to admissibility to the U.S. for which there was no waiver available.

J-U- hired the Latimore Law Firm after her brother- in-law was taken into custody.  Both she and her brother-in-law had used the same attorney and she feared that her status may not have been properly handled by that attorney, just as her brother’s was not.  She hired the Latimore Law Firm, which investigated her case and filed to reopen her case, so she could have her day in court which was robbed from her by her previous attorney.  The Court granted our motion to reopen her case and she will now have her day in court and be able to present any and all relief from deportation available.  Her prior attorney is serving a lengthy prison term in Florida for defrauding countless immigrants all over the United States through churches.

L-D-‘s, status on the USCIS website showed she had a valid adjustment of status application pending when unbeknownst to her, she had been ordered removed by the Immigration Court a year earlier.  She never had any notice of this event until the Latimore Law Firm investigated her case.  The Latimore Law Firm was able to reopen her case before the Court where she will now be able to continue her pursuit of a Green Card through adjustment of status. 

M-C- a legal permanent resident had been in detention for almost a year and a half while fighting against his deportation.  He had filed a habeas petition with the Federal District Court seeking his release, which the District Court denied.  He hired the Latimore Law Firm to appeal the denial of his habeas petition to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.  The Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with the arguments presented by the Latimore Law Firm, that the District Court had committed errors in its decision, and remanded the case to the District Court with instructions for them to properly evaluate M-C-‘s arguments for release from “mandatory” immigration detention.

R-C- had filed a visa petition for her husband to try and bring him back to the United States after he was deported.  USCIS approved the visa petition and it was forwarded to the U.S. embassy in Africa for further immigrant processing.  The embassy in Africa investigated the visa and in a very rare turn of events refused to further process the visa and returned it to USCIS in California, asking them to revoke the petition that they had already approved.  R-C- hired the Latimore Law Firm at this point to stop the revocation.  The Firm helped her in obtaining additional evidence and wrote a brief on her behalf, which was filed with the USCIS Service Center on a very short timetable.  After the Service Center reviewed all the evidence they agreed with the Latimore Law Firm that the visa petition should have never been returned to them and that the embassy had incorrectly refused to process the immigrant visa petition.  The petition was then transferred back to the embassy where they properly processed it.
