Acta non verba. Our motto, in three commitments.
Asylum cases are won on detail. Declarations, corroboration, and country conditions are built to hold up on appeal.
When the decision is wrong, we keep going: to the Board, the federal district courts, and the courts of appeals.
Practice areas
Courtroom work first. Every related filing done with the same care.
Removal defense is the center of the practice. We also handle the family, business, and humanitarian filings that often decide whether a client can stay.

Asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture

A note from the founder
"I founded Acquest Law because people facing deportation deserve a lawyer who prepares every hearing as a trial and will not stop at the first wrong answer."
