Facing Deportation? Your Fight Is Our Fight.
Viking Law Firm, PC defends immigrants facing removal proceedings throughout Los Angeles, California, and the entire United States. We fight for your right to remain — through asylum claims, bond hearings, and aggressive courtroom defense.
You Are Not Just a Case Number. Your Future in America Is at Stake.
Every year, thousands of immigrants in the Los Angeles area are placed into removal proceedings — often without understanding their rights or the legal options available to them. The immigration system is complex, the consequences are permanent, and the government has attorneys working against you. Viking Law Firm provides the aggressive, knowledgeable defense that your case demands. We represent individuals and families in Immigration Court, before USCIS, and at detention facilities — fighting to keep you in the country you call home.
Affirmative Asylum Applications
We prepare and present asylum applications before USCIS for individuals who have suffered persecution or have a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. We handle every step — from preparing your personal declaration to representing you at your asylum interview.
Defensive Asylum in Immigration Court
If you are already in removal proceedings, asylum can be raised as a defense against deportation. We represent clients before Immigration Judges in the Los Angeles Immigration Court and throughout the country, presenting evidence, witness testimony, and country conditions reports to build the strongest possible case for relief.
Bond Hearings & Custody Redetermination
If you or a loved one has been detained by ICE, you may be entitled to a bond hearing before an Immigration Judge. We fight to secure your release from detention by demonstrating that you are not a flight risk or danger to the community, and we pursue the lowest possible bond amount.
Detention Representation
Facing removal proceedings while detained is overwhelming. We represent individuals held at detention facilities throughout California and the United States — including Adelanto ICE Processing Center and other facilities — ensuring that detained individuals have access to effective legal counsel when it matters most.
Comprehensive Removal Defense & Immigration Relief
Viking Law Firm handles the full range of removal defense and immigration matters. If you or someone you love is facing deportation or needs immigration relief, we are prepared to fight.
Asylum
Affirmative and defensive asylum claims for individuals who have suffered or fear persecution in their home country.
Withholding of Removal
Protection from deportation to a country where your life or freedom would be threatened on account of a protected ground.
Convention Against Torture (CAT)
Relief for individuals who can demonstrate they would more likely than not be tortured if returned to their home country.
Cancellation of Removal
A form of relief available to certain long-term permanent residents and non-permanent residents who meet specific requirements under the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Bond & Detention
Bond hearing representation to secure release from ICE custody and ongoing representation for detained individuals throughout their proceedings.
Motions to Reopen & Reconsider
If you received a removal order — including an in absentia order — we pursue motions to reopen or reconsider your case before the Immigration Court or Board of Immigration Appeals.
Appeals to the BIA
If the Immigration Judge denied your case, we file appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and pursue further review in federal circuit courts when necessary.
Adjustment of Status in Proceedings
If you are eligible for a green card through a family member, employer, or other basis, we can pursue adjustment of status as a form of relief within removal proceedings.
Voluntary Departure
When appropriate, we advise on and secure voluntary departure as an alternative to a formal removal order — preserving future immigration options when other relief is unavailable.
Rights You Have in Removal Proceedings
Regardless of your immigration status, you have rights under United States law when you are placed in removal proceedings. Understanding these rights is the first step in your defense.
Right to an Attorney
You have the right to be represented by an attorney in removal proceedings — though unlike in criminal court, the government will not provide one for you. Having an experienced immigration attorney dramatically increases the likelihood of a successful outcome. Viking Law Firm provides the representation you need.
Right to a Hearing
You are entitled to a hearing before an Immigration Judge, where you can present evidence, testify, and challenge the government's case against you. You have the right to review the evidence the government intends to use and to cross-examine government witnesses.
Right to Appeal
If an Immigration Judge orders your removal, you have the right to appeal that decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). In many cases, further review may be available through the federal circuit courts of appeal. Time deadlines for appeals are strict — typically 30 days from the date of the judge's decision.
Right to Apply for Relief
You may be eligible for multiple forms of protection from removal, including asylum, withholding of removal, protection under the Convention Against Torture, cancellation of removal, adjustment of status, or voluntary departure. An experienced attorney can evaluate which forms of relief you may qualify for.
