About Allison Chan

Hi my name is Allison Chan, I’m an immigration attorney at Margaret Wong & Associates. I graduated from University of Buffalo in 2011, and I primarily do work in our removal and deportation department. I think what sets us apart from other law firms is our dedicated approach to our clients.

We have paralegals and attorneys from all over the world of all ages and all diverse backgrounds. We really strive to understand each and every client and the unique hardships that they face. It’s important for us to understand the unique hardships of every client. It’s a priority for us to see each client face-to-face so that we can personalize their experience at the law firm.

Immigration Experience

As an immigration attorney, I work on all kinds of immigration matters, but I primarily work with clients that have recently been picked up or detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, also known as ICE. I work with clients who have recently been placed in removal proceedings. Every day I speak with spouses, and loved ones, and relatives of clients who have just been picked up by ICE. And I understand the struggles and frustrations that they face every day. It’s important to defend and to speak on their behalf when there’s no one else for them to turn to. I would recommend that you call an immigration attorney as soon as ICE decides to take action on your case.

Motion Practice

Something else I want to talk about is motion practice. I do a lot of motions to reopen in this firm. Motions to reopen are a type of motion that you can file with the immigration court, or the Board of Immigration Appeals. It is a way for the judge to reopen your case and take a look at your file again if there’s some new form of relief that is available to you or your loved one.   Just as I tell clients that you should see a doctor to check on your health every few years, you should really see an immigration attorney to take a look at your case every so often so that you can be reminded of your legal status, and also to see if there are new laws that may have passed that can help you obtain legal status here in the US.
