Bridgewater Township, New Jersey, 08807
Ray Lahoud focuses only on the area of immigration law and deportation defense for individuals, families, small to large domestic and multinational businesses and corporations, employers, international employees, investors, students, professors, researchers, skilled professionals, athletes, entertainers, in every type of immigration or deportation defense matter—whether domestic or foreign. While Ray’s immigration practice global in reach, with service to individuals and organizations across the United States and beyond, he is located primarily at Norris McLaughlin’s three globally linked offices: New York, New York, Bridgewater, New Jersey, and Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Ray’s immigration litigation practice includes deportation defense, at the Immigration Court, the Board of Immigration Appeals, the Administrative Appeals Office, and federal district and circuit courts from coast to coast. He has defended thousands of individuals against deportation across the United States. In state and federal trial and appellate courts, he seeks post-conviction relief for the underlying crime that led to the commencement of removal proceedings, and serves as immigration counsel to non-citizens accused of removable crimes. Ray’s ability to understand each interaction of criminal law with immigration law has led to him becoming a leading expert on issues of “crimmigration” before state and federal courts reviewing post-conviction relief claims.
