EXPEDITED REMOVAL – Warning – 48-HOURS
Your loved one can be deported within 48 hours without you knowing, unless you act.
If you have a loved one that has an immigration hold, you must be aware that immigration has the ability to immediately remove your loved one without an attorney.
In deportation and removal cases, the individual does not have the right to a public defender. Therefore, the process can continue without an attorney present to defend you. This is the reason it is so important that you immediately hire a qualified attorney to defend you in this process.
We have experience in dealing with the following deportation centers throughout California:
- LOS ANGELES Immigration Court
- SAN DIEGO Immigration Court
- IMPERIAL Immigration Court
- ADELANTO Immigration Court
- LANCASTER Immigration Court
- SAN FRANCISCO Immigration Court

A year ago, my wife and I went to Commonwealth Law Group to seek out the assistance of Joe Luna in order to adjust status here in the US. Hand on my heart, there was no one better for the job. My wife and and I are so grateful to him and his team at Commonwealth. From the beginning, he was patient and understanding, answering all our questions and meeting with us frequently. We felt like he always put us first and is very diligent. Joe is very knowledgeable when it comes to immigration issues. Believe me, he's the guy you want on your team. We will definitely go back to him when it comes to removing conditions on our green card.- P&I Case. 1/7/2020![]()

I recommend Joe Luna he’s the best lawyer!! In my case that I had before him I had 2 other lawyers and they never helped me and they would just give me a hard time until I found Joe Luna. He always told me to have trust in him and he would resolve my case without any problem and in about 5 months I got my green card and got accepted.

Mr. Luna and everyone in the office handled my immigration case with professionalism, courtesy, and attention to detail. After just four short months of working with Commonwealth Law Group, I had a satisfactory resolution to my unique case. I recommend them highly.- Akram Shaaban. 11/14/2016![]()
My first consultation with the immigration attorney was free. He and his assistant spent close to an hour with my husband and me, explaining the process involved in completing the requirements for permanent residency status as a Native American born in Canada. Where to begin, what to do, what not to do. What they will do, how long it will take and what it will cost. I feel confident that Mr. Shaeffer will handle every detail of my case competently and wisely. He has more than expertise in his field, he is also charismatic and likable. I would not hesitate to recommend him to a friend.- Cynthia Bennett. 0/16/2013![]()
After several years trying to get our ducks in order for a greencard and not having much success, we were recommended by a friend to try Commonwealth Law Group. As they were conveniently located in Rancho Mirage, we wasted no time in setting up interviews...etc We were pleased that they actually offered us two different ways we could go about getting the permanent residency. One short year later we received our cards in the mail. Thanks to Comonwealth Law Group and its team in Rancho Mirage for affording us the opportunity to get our residency. Their initiative, enthusiasm, knowledge of the system and great work were the key factors in our success. RRV- Raoul Vanier. 11/10/2012
