FRAUD WARNING: Protect Yourself from Immigration Scammers and Impersonators

We have been made aware of individuals impersonating Pardo Law Firm, PLLC and its attorneys through social media, WhatsApp, and requesting payments via Zelle. These individuals fraudulently claim to represent our firm and solicit payment from prospective clients.

Pardo Law Firm will NEVER:

  • Contact you through social media, WhatsApp, or any personal account
  • Request or collect any fees through social media, WhatsApp, or informal channels. All payments are processed through our official office only
  • Ask for payment toward your case before a formal consultation has been completed and a signed engagement agreement is in place
  • Request payment via Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, or any personal payment platform. Any Zelle payment accepted by our firm is processed only to an official business account in the firm's name
  • Promise or guarantee a specific outcome in your immigration case
  • Refer you to a nonprofit, charity, church, or any third-party organization to assist with or offset your legal fees. We have no affiliation with any outside organization of this kind

How to verify you are communicating with our firm:

  • Use only our official phone number and email address listed on this website
  • Call our office directly to schedule and confirm any consultation before providing personal information or making any payment
  • If you have any doubt about who you are speaking with, you may request a video call with the attorney to visually confirm their identity
  • Please note that our consultations are not free. If someone offers you a free consultation claiming to represent our firm, treat it as a warning sign.

Representation for deportation defense in immigration court

At this time the firm is Not taking new court/deportation defense cases. If you have received a Notice to Appear (NTA) and need a Charlotte immigration attorney to represent you at the Charlotte Immigration Court or in any immigration court as your deportation defense,  contact our office at (704) 644-7065 as soon as possible. The issuance of an NTA means that the U.S. government is trying to remove you from the United States.  To determine if you qualify for some form of relief to avoid deportation, contact our Charlotte immigration law office immediately.

Some forms of relief available in immigration court are:

  • Immigration bonds
  • Cancellation of removal
  • Special Immigrant Juvenile Status
  • Adjustment of status
  • Waivers
  • TPS
  • Voluntary departure
  • U visas or VAWA
  • Prosecutorial discretion – administrative closure

WARNING:  If you do not attend your hearing, the immigration judge can order you deported in absentia.

Voluntary Departure

Those who do not have any relief from deportation may be able to request Voluntary Departure.  If they qualify, the Immigration Judge may allow them to depart the United States by their own means in a short period of time that could vary between 60 and 120 days.  They may also be released from detention while they make arrangements for their departure.
