Being summoned for an immigration removal hearing is incredibly stressful. You may feel hopeless in this type of situation and think that there is nothing you can do. However, if you do receive a summons for a removal hearing, one of the first things you should do is hire an immigration attorney to represent you. The services of a reputable and experienced immigration attorney may not be inexpensive but they can make a huge difference in the outcome of your hearing and whether or not you will be able to remain in the United States.
