For the last two years, one of Colby’s goals was to gain experience in various immigration courts throughout the United States. He has appeared before Federal Immigration judges in Arizona, California, Colorado, Texas, Illinois, Louisiana, Tennessee, Michigan, Missouri, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington.
Proven successful in Asylum cases, Bond Hearings, Stays of Deportation, Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS), and most importantly, Removal Defense, Colby has honed his skills as a litigator in favor of the Hispanic and Latino communities. Although court appearances are part and parcel to the public understanding of immigration law, Colby has achieved great success with the administrative side of immigration as well, helping numerous immigrants become citizens, residents, or obtain an alternative form of lawful presence.
Although not a native speaker, he has established significant connections in the Hispanic Community. From Univision to non profit organizations like, UNIDOS we stand, Colby is a fierce advocate for immigrants, both documented and undocumented.
With several years experience in North Carolina Family Law as well as criminal law, Colby is a well rounded attorney with experience to successfully manage your civil or criminal matters.
