The Frager Law Firm assists clients in certain criminal matters due to the important immigration consequences that certain criminal convictions may have on an individual's ability to remain in the United States instead of facing removal or deportation from the United States. The Frager Law Firm, P.C. handles family immigration matters, such as marriage petitions and immediate family members sponsoring other immediate relatives. The firm also represents people who appear before an Immigration Judge in removal or deportation proceedings when the Immigration & Naturalization Service (INS) has determined that the INS believes an individual(s) should be removed or deported from the United States. At this hearing before an Immigration Judge, an individual has a right to retain legal counsel at his or her own expense (so long as it is not at the expense of the U.S. government). When individuals want to apply for asylum in the United States, the Frager Law Firm can assist you in evaluating your eligibility for asylum or refugee status in the United States.

The Frager Law Firm prides itself on advising clients through a private consultation, for a minimal consultation fee, in order to evaluate whether there are any benefits available for non-U.S. citizens who are either living in the United States or abroad.
