Skilled, Compassionate Representation When Your Future Is on the Line

Deportation doesn’t just affect one person it impacts entire families, livelihoods, and communities. At AB Legal Consult, we provide aggressive, compassionate legal defense for individuals in Charlottesville, VA, and surrounding areas who are facing removal from the United States.

Whether you or your loved one has been detained, served with a Notice to Appear, or needs to appeal an immigration judge’s decision, we’re ready to fight for you. Led by Attorney Akosua Owusua Owusu-Banahene, our firm represents clients before the Arlington Immigration Court, the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), and detention centers across Virginia.

Strong Legal Defense for All Types of Deportation Cases

At AB Legal Consult, we know that no two removal cases are alike. We work closely with each client to understand their situation and develop a strategy that fits their needs, family circumstances, and long-term goals. Our deportation defense services include:

Asylum & Humanitarian Relief: If you fear returning to your home country due to violence or persecution, we can help you apply for asylum or withholding of removal.
Cancellation of Removal: If you’ve lived in the U.S. for a long time, have U.S. citizen family members, or are a green card holder with ties to the community, we may be able to cancel your removal and protect your status.
Bond Hearings & Detention Defense: If your loved one is detained often at Farmville Detention Center we move swiftly to request bond and begin the release process.
Waivers of Inadmissibility or Deportability: We help clients overcome past criminal charges or immigration violations through well-prepared waiver applications.
Motions to Reopen or Reconsider: If your case was denied or closed due to error or missed court, we file motions to reopen your case and give you another chance at relief.
BIA Appeals: If an immigration judge issued an unfavorable decision, we can file an appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals, challenging errors in the legal process or decision-making.

We combine deep immigration law experience with a personal, committed approach. You’ll never be just another case file here.

I had the privilege of working with Akosua on an EB-1 visa application, and I cannot speak highly enough of her professionalism, expertise, and dedication throughout the entire process.

From the initial consultation, Akosua demonstrated a deep understanding of the EB-1 category and laid out a clear strategy that aligned perfectly with my career background.

She was meticulous in reviewing the credentials, guiding me through the documentation process, and crafting a compelling petition that showcased the qualifications in the best possible light.
What stood out most was Akosua’s attention to detail and her commitment to excellence — every letter, form, and exhibit was handled with precision.

Her communication was prompt and thorough, and she always made time to answer my questions and keep me informed. Thanks to her skill and hard work, my EB-1 petition was approved without a Request for Evidence, which speaks volumes about the strength and clarity of the case she prepared.

If you are considering an EB-1 application, I wholeheartedly recommend Akosua. Her legal acumen, work ethic, and genuine care for her clients set her apart.

I can't express enough how grateful I am to have worked with this law firm and Attorney AB on my EB-1A petition. From our first consultation, it was clear I was in the hands of a highly experienced and compassionate professional who truly understood the complexity of my case.

The communication was always prompt and respectful, and the legal drafting was detailed, strategic, and tailored to my unique accomplishments in the digital content industry.
