1 Year Later, Husband is Approved for Green Card Interview
With the help of immigration attorney Devon Senges, a North Carolina couple recently had their immigrant visa application approved in Ciudad Juarez. After a successful green card interview, or adjustment of status interview, the husband is now approved for legal permanent residency in the United States. The husband is a national of Mexico who has been living undocumented in the United States for over fifteen years. His wife, a United States Citizen, was his petitioner. And they are proud parents of three U.S. Citizen children. The Green Card Interview Process The couple started the residency process in 2016. As part of the process, they were required to apply for a forgiveness waiver before they could apply for residency.

DACA Awarded to Young DREAMer in NC
Our Greensboro immigration attorney successfully obtained DACA for a young DREAMer who the government said lacked the proper documentation to prove he qualified. Our attorney won the case by working collaboratively with her client to come up creative ways to show he qualified despite lack of 'traditional' documentation that many immigrants lack due to their legal status and marginalization in society.

Father Gets Sole Custody After Mother Goes MIA
Type of Case: Child Custody Case Result: Sole Custody - Legal and Physical Custody Awarded County: Guilford County A father in Guilford County needed to modify the child custody order for his children. The mother had been absent from the children's lives for about a year now, so he wanted to see about getting sole legal and physical custody of both minor children. He felt it didn't make sense to continue sharing legal and physical custody with the mother even though she was completely missing from the children's lives. So, he met with our Greensboro family law team to discuss his options. Challenges with Getting the Opposing Party Served A big challenge our team faced, in this case, was a procedural one -- getting the other party served. The mother was missing, and they didn't have any contact information for her. Our family law team and our client [...]
Appeal Won for Civil Revocation of a CDL
A Greensboro client with a commercial driver's license, or CDL, was charged with DWI in Guilford County. As a result, our client was also hit with a civil revocation of his CDL, also known as a CVR. A civil revocation of a CDL can result in disqualification from using a CDL for one year. This means that CDL holders also face potentially losing their job if the civil revocation stands. One of the biggest obstacles to handling these types of cases is that clients have exactly 10 days to appeal a civil revocation of a CDL. Otherwise, the revocation is allowed to stand and it will disqualify their CDL. Fortunately, our Greensboro client advised us of his issue with only a few days left to petition for a hearing. Criminal defense attorney Patrick Apple filed a strong motion in opposition to the civil revocation and scheduled a hearing [...]
50B Dismissed, Father Awarded Emergency Custody
Type of Case: 50B and Child Custody Case Result: The 50B was dismissed and our client was awarded temporary emergency custody. County: Davidson County A client had a 50B, also known as a Domestic Violence Protective Order, taken out against him by the mother of his child. She had also filed for primary legal custody and physical custody of the child. When the client approached us on the matter, our family law team didn't have long to prepare for the hearing. Our team had to speak with the client quickly and efficiently to know how he wanted to move forward. Our team also made sure to explain all of his options to him. There was a language barrier as he spoke primarily Spanish, but our bilingual family law paralegal translated all communication between them. Temporary Emergency Custody Granted On the day of court, the Plaintiff failed to appear. [...]
Persecuted Pastor from El Salvador Gets Asylum
Attorney: Devon Senges Type of Case: Asylum Case Result: Asylum Protection Granted Our client was a pastor in El Salvador whose religion strongly believes in the sanctity of all human life. Sadly, our client was the witness to attempted murder in his home country. The would-be criminal was a young gang member. Our client recognized both men and decided to intervene. Yet, a few days later the young man eventually returned to murder his target. The El Salvador National Police approached our client and pressured him to identify the murderer. They told him they would kill the man in retaliation since the victim was the brother of a local police inspector. Our client refused to help the police commit an extrajudicial crime. Thus, he ended up a target himself. The National Police persecuted him for his refusal to cooperate. So, our client decided to seek asylum protection in [...]
Emergency Custody Order Gets Teen Out of Abusive Home
Type of Case: Ex Parte Emergency Custody Order Case Result: Awarded Ex Parte Emergency Custody County: Randolph County Our Greensboro family law team represented a mother living in Iowa but whose daughter lived with the father in Randolph County. Her 15-year-old daughter had reached out to her for help because the father was physically abusing her. The father had cut the daughter off from communication with the outside world, and they lived in a very secluded house away from other people. Acting Quickly to Draft the Emergency Custody Motion The mother knew she needed to secure legal counsel right away to get her daughter out of this situation as quickly as possible. So, she contacted our Greensboro family law team for help with an emergency custody order. Our team had very little time to prepare for this hearing, as they only had about a day and a half [...]
Motion for Appropriate Relief Granted in Guilford County
Our client, like many others, got a dreaded speeding ticket in Guilford County. Unfortunately, Guilford County has a new policy that makes it difficult to get a reduction on any speeding charge where the top speed is over 90 miles per hour. So, our client hired legal counsel. Attempting a Prayer for Judgement Continued Her previous lawyer helped her get a Prayer for Judgement Continued. This is a motion unique to North Carolina that allows people with traffic violations to plead guilty to an offense and ask for a Prayer for Judgement from the judge. If the judge grants the Prayer for Judgement, the offense is not entered against the defendant. It is still documented, but points are not added to the person's driving record. However, one caveat is that there's a limit to the number of Prayers for Judgement a judge can grant per household. And, the [...]
Rape Charges Dropped Against College Student
Attorney: Patrick Apple Type of Case: Criminal Pre-Charge on Felony Rape Accusation Case Result: Rape Charges Dropped County: Guilford County A young college-aged man was contacted by law enforcement. They asked to speak to him about a serious accusation from a young college-aged woman. The woman had filed a complaint with the police that our client had committed rape against her. The Client wisely declined to speak with the Detective and contacted Dummit Fradin instead. If convicted of the rape charge, our client was facing an active prison sentence, registration on the sex offender list, and the inability to apply for US citizenship. So, he hired criminal attorney Patrick Apple to represent him on a pre-charge investigation. Our client had no idea where the accusation could have come from. Patrick Apple worked with our client to reconstruct a timeline of recent events. Afterward, they were able to narrow [...]
