Relentless Legal Defense for Immigrants Facing Removal

If you or a loved one is facing deportation, your future—and your family’s future—may feel uncertain. At AB Legal Consult, we understand how high the stakes are, and we’re here to help you stand your ground. We provide strong, compassionate representation to clients in Chesapeake, VA, and across Hampton Roads, working to stop removal and secure legal paths to remain in the United States.

Led by immigration attorney Akosua Owusua Owusu-Banahene, AB Legal Consult brings deep experience in removal defense and immigration court strategy. Whether you are detained, recently served with a Notice to Appear, or seeking to reopen a past case, we’ll build a plan tailored to your circumstances. Our firm represents clients before the Arlington Immigration Court, the Board of Immigration Appeals, and in detention centers across Virginia.

Full-Service Deportation Defense for Chesapeake Families

Removal proceedings can be complex and intimidating. We guide you every step of the way and fight aggressively to protect your rights. Our deportation defense services include:

Asylum and Humanitarian Protection: If you are fleeing violence, persecution, or unsafe conditions in your home country, we help present a strong claim for asylum or withholding of removal.
Cancellation of Removal: If you’ve lived in the U.S. for many years or are a lawful permanent resident with strong family ties, we can seek relief that allows you to remain here.
Bond Hearings and ICE Detention Defense: We pursue bond for detained clients, often those held in facilities far from Chesapeake, such as Farmville or Caroline County. We act quickly to reunite families and begin building your defense.
Waivers of Inadmissibility and Deportability: We assist clients in applying for legal forgiveness for past violations, helping remove barriers to relief or adjustment.
Motions to Reopen or Reconsider: If you missed a hearing or new facts have come to light, we can help you request a second chance in court.
Appeals to the BIA: If an immigration judge denied your case, we prepare compelling legal arguments and represent you on appeal before the Board of Immigration Appeals.

Each case is personal to us. We don’t offer cookie-cutter solutions—every legal strategy we craft is designed around your unique life, history, and goals.

Local Support for Chesapeake and Hampton Roads Communities

Chesapeake families face unique challenges, from distant court locations like Arlington to detention transfers without notice. We know the local landscape—how ICE check-ins operate in nearby Virginia Beach or Norfolk, and how delays and communication gaps can derail a case. At AB Legal Consult, we stay ahead of those challenges and help our clients remain informed and protected.

Our clients come from across the Tidewater Region, including Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, and Newport News. No matter where you are, we’re ready to help you build a strong defense.

Virtual Consultations Available for Detained and Non-Detained Clients

That’s why AB Legal Consult offers virtual consultations and digital legal support for clients in and around Chesapeake—whether you’re detained or at home with your family.

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.
