Colorado Immigration Law Practice Focused on Removal Defense

Our Colorado-based immigration law practice is dedicated to defending individuals and families facing deportation and immigration detention. We focus primarily on immigration removal defense, representing clients in proceedings before the Denver Immigration Court and the Aurora Immigration Court, as well as individuals detained at the Aurora ICE Detention Facility. 

Immigration law is complex and time-sensitive—particularly when someone’s liberty, lawful status, and ability to remain in the United States are at risk. Our firm provides experienced, strategic, and compassionate immigration representation in these high-stakes cases.

We regularly appear before immigration judges in Denver and Aurora and advocate for detained and non-detained clients throughout the United States. Our practice emphasizes removal defense for detained and non-detained individuals, immigration bond hearings, and relief from removal such as asylum and cancellation of removal. We also assist eligible clients with adjustment of status, humanitarian visas, and family-based immigration petitions. 

Whether you are fighting deportation in immigration court or seeking release from the Aurora Detention Facility, our firm is committed to protecting your rights and pursuing every available form of immigration relief.

Tell Us About Your Case

When your future in the United States is at stake, you need more than just legal representation, you need an advocate who understands the system from the inside. At Mile High Legal, our team is led by a former federal prosecutor from the Department of Homeland Security, Eric Hutchens, bringing an unparalleled perspective that most immigration firms simply cannot offer.

This insider experience means we anticipate how government attorneys think, understand agency priorities and procedures, and know how cases are evaluated before they reach a decision-maker’s desk. We’ve seen immigration matters from both sides of the table, and that dual perspective becomes your strategic advantage.

Our DHS background translates into tangible benefits for our clients: we craft applications that address the concerns federal reviewers actually have, we prepare clients for interviews with knowledge of what officials are trained to look for, and we identify potential issues before they become problems. When cases become contentious, we negotiate from a position of credibility and engage with government counsel as respected peers.

At Mile High Legal, you’re not just getting an attorney. You’re getting a former federal insider who now fights exclusively for you.

What types of Immigration Law cases do we take?

The Convergence of Criminal Law and Immigration Consequences

If you are facing criminal charges, we often are asked to work with other criminal attorneys to advise their clients on the effect of a guilty plea or conviction for certain charges and how it might affect a person’s eligibility to remain in the country. We will work with your attorney to assess your criminal history, legal status, and the specific language of the plea you are being offered to advise on risks and collateral consequences for certain outcomes.
