PETITIONS FOR REVIEW BEFORE THE NINTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS

Occasionally, appeal of an immigration case beyond the Board of Immigration Appeals becomes necessary. An error in the judge's or the BIA’s Appeal decision,  Ineffective assistance of counsel (your prior lawyer), exclusion of important evidence or changed country or personal circumstances can all lead to an adverse result below that should be reviewed by a higher Court.  In the Western United States that review is before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. 

Our office has handled dozens of appeals before the Court of Appeals and helped shape the contours of the law in several published decisions including:

Mejia v. Ashcroft, 298 F.3^rd 873, (9^th Cir. 2002);
