Bond

Bond Lawyer in Jacksonville

You Have Rights

Our office represents clients detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) anywhere in the U.S.

Bond Requests with ICE

Your loved one may be eligible for release from detention on bond, or for urgent humanitarian reasons. ICE typically makes a custody determination in every case they encounter. Some people will be granted a bond by ICE, while most will be denied. Often, ICE denies bond because the only evidence they have is negative (the arrest report, immigration violations, etc.). Our attorneys regularly prepare and submit bond packages to ICE to showcase our clients’ good qualities and demonstrate to ICE why they should be released on bond. Even if ICE denies bond, if the person is not subject to mandatory detention, they will have an opportunity to request bond from an Immigration Judge.

Bond from an Immigration Judge

Even if ICE denies bond, if the person is not subject to mandatory detention, they will have an opportunity to request bond from an Immigration Judge. Having a skilled attorney present the case to an Immigration Judge in writing and at the bond hearing can make the difference in your loved one being released or detained.

Sometimes ICE or an Immigration Judge set a bond that is too high. Our attorneys may be able to present evidence and testimony not previously presented that may persuade ICE or an Immigration Judge to reduce the bond amount.

"She Made It Easy"
I was scared to start my immigration process but after speaking to Ms. Winston I finally had hope to take the next step. In less than a few months, I was approved for my PIP and received my green card a few months after.

"We are extremely satisfied and grateful"
I highly recommend Karen Winston's office because thanks to their excellent work, my husband and I are finally at peace after a long immigration process. We have been with this office since 2020, and although my case was not easy, Karen and our assigned paralegal Florencia were always there to help us and answer all our questions. Thanks to their effort and professionalism, I was able to obtain my green card after a long wait, but Karen was always there to provide us with the best solution. She fought for our case, and thanks to her, I feel relieved to have successfully completed my immigration process and to know that I can be here with my husband and start building a family without worrying about the uncertainty of my pending process. We are extremely satisfied and grateful. I also recommend Florencia because her attention was incredible; we felt like she was a friend throughout this process. She was always there with us, letting us know every step of our process, providing us with the tools, and gathering all our information to strengthen our case. Thank you, Karen, thank you, Florencia, and thank you to the entire team for making us feel like family. We felt supported at all times, and we are very happy to have gone through this with you.
