Please recommend an experienced immigration lawyer to handle my case in front of judge.
I’ve had a green card (LPR) for many years and was out of the US for 5 months this time (and also out of the US for 7 months just before that, not great, I know).
At the land border to enter the US, they sent me to secondary inspection: they wanted to take my green card (10 year LPR car) which I refused. I was blocked there for 5 hours.
They then gave me a “Notice to Appear” (NTA) in front of an immigration judge in 1 month where I can defend myself.
Can someone please recommend an experienced immigration lawyer to handle the case?
(ideally not too far from the immigration court which is Hartford, Connecticut, but I guess lawyers from other neighboring states could represent me there too…)
It was not a pleasant experience.
Any help in getting an experienced lawyer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
