If you have a concern about deportation, we will provide energetic, quality, resourceful legal services for immigration cases in your criminal deportation defense. It is important to know that even a conviction for a minor offense can result in deportation. Immigration law may view a disposition of a criminal case as a conviction for a deportable offense even if the disposition is not considered a conviction under state law.

You need an experienced, highly skilled immigration attorney who is familiar with how criminal charges and convictions relate to immigration law. The facts of each case are unique, and you need immediate legal counsel on how criminal charges would potentially affect your deportation status.

Thomas E. Moseley practices immigration law in Newark, New Jersey concentrating in federal court litigation and removal defense. He received his A.B. from Harvard College and his J.D. from Harvard Law School and previously served as Chief of the Immigration Unit in the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. He is a past chair of the Immigration Section of the Federal Bar Association and has lectured on immigration before the Federal Bar Association, New Jersey ICLE, the Practicing Law Institute, and the American Immigration Lawyers Association (“AILA”). He is the recipient of AILA’s 2016 Jack Wasserman award for excellence in immigration litigation.

Ms.
Mr. Moseley is a superb lawyer who is not an expert in immigration law but a compassionate individual with a goal oriented mentality to get the best outcome for his clients. We had a very complicated case that spanned 7 years, and he never once lost his patience, creativity, or will to fight for us. At the end we achieved a great result, all thanks to him. His relationship and ability to work with the government is beyond anything we could have achieved on our own or with any other lawyers (and we interviewed MANY). I would highly recommend Mr. Moseley for any immigration case - best attorney ever!!

Fantastic Lawyer, Awesome Perserverance
Mr. Moseley represented my father in two cases: the first case established a precedent for my father to apply for an 212h waiver in the sixth circuit court of appeals with the following case obtaining said waiver. Our case was incredibly complex given extenuating circumstances, with several other immigration attorneys advising that there wasn't a chance for my father to stay in the country. Conversely, Mr. Moseley was steadfast in his commitment to our case and was continually optimistic throughout some of the grimmest prospects. When arguing for our precedent setting case in the sixth circuit, the board would continuously argue that even if we were able to apply for a 212h waiver, they are rarely ever granted. Mr. Moseley simply answered, "We'll deal with that issue when it arises," assuring the court to focus on the situation at hand. In gathering evidence and expert witnesses for the 212h waiver hearing, he was sure to establish clear grounds of extreme hardship and good discretion on my father's behalf. He won the 212h waiver and my father is safely home with us today. I need to stress that our case was incredibly complex, with my father actually being voluntarily deported. Despite this, Mr. Moseley was able to assure that he was still able to sit his hearing for his hardship waiver. Without Mr. Moseley's expert legal practice, my family would have been destroyed. I highly recommend his services to anyone in trouble: he'll give you the best chance and fight until the bitter end.
