No
Deportation
Deportation of immigrants and other individuals may result
as a consequence for entering the United States illegally.
You can also be deported if you are not a citizen and have
committed a serious crime
Deportation occurs
when the federal government formally removes an alien from
the United States for violating immigration laws. Once deported,
an alien may lose the right to ever return to the United
States, even as a visitor. Livelihoods and families may
be impacted, and in some cases, a deported alien may end
up living in a "homeland" that he or she has little
familiarity with.
Deportation is
a legal proceeding, and anyone who is subject to the procedure
has a legal right to challenge it prior to being removed
from the country. A legal challenge involves appearances
before a government body and the laws involved are complex
and constantly changing. As a result, legal representation
is essential for your best chance of avoiding deportation.
If you are
at risk of being deported, call the Law Office of Haitham
Ballout & Associates today.

Personal
Injury
Free Consultation and No Payment Until We Win
Personal Injury
cases consist of victims who have suffered from severe,
debilitating, and permanent injuries. In such cases, the
individual suffers from emotional distress, financial losses
such as medical expenses, lost wages, funeral expenses and
other economic and non-economic losses.
The Law allows the
injured individual to recover his or her financial losses,
as well as for pain and suffering from the responsible party.
Additionally, an immediate family member of the injured
individual is entitled to recover for the loss of companionship
or services of his or her family member.
Although money compensation
can never fully compensate for all the suffering, it can
help relieve the financial burden caused by an unfortunate
accident.
Our office represented
hundreds of injured individuals in the last eleven years,
and we will gladly consider reviewing the facts of your
case at no charge! Once retained, you are not expected to
pay for our legal services unless we win. Our services are
paid for by a previously agreed percentage of any recovery!

Discrimination
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN WRONGFULLY DISCHARGED FROM A JOB OR BEEN
DENIED PROMOTION?
An employer may
not discriminate against an employee or applicant for employment
because of an individual's race, color, religion, sex, national
origin or age. It is also unlawful to pay lower wages on
the basis of an employee's sex.
The Civil Rights
Act of 1991 strengthened Title VII by making it easier to
bring and to prove discrimination lawsuits, and by expanding
the available judicial remedies so that plaintiffs could
receive full compensation for injuries resulting from discrimination.
If you feel that
your employer discriminated against you on the basis of
one of the above-enumerated grounds, please contact our
office for consultation.
What to Do if Discriminated
Against?
1) DO NOT react
in a hostile manner.
2) Report the incident(s) to Human Resources or a person
in a higher position than your boss.
3) Take the name and telephone numbers of any witnesses.
4) Meet with an attorney to determine your rights and how
the state and federal labor laws protect you.
