Welcome...

I am an immigration and citizenship attorney located in Oakland, California. My law practice emphasizes the following matters:

Removal/Deportation Defense. Representation before an immigration judge, appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), motions to reopen, and petitions for review to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. I normally represent clients in removal proceedings held at the San Francisco Immigration Court. I also represent detained clients in the Eloy and Florence Immigration Courts in Arizona, if the client's family resides in Northern California.

Federal Court Litigation. Lawsuits to challenge denied or delayed immigration or naturalization applications (actions for administrative review, mandamus, habeas corpus, etc.). I accept these cases for clients residing anywhere in California.

Denied or Revoked USCIS Petitions and Applications. Appeals to the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO or AAU) for a denied: I-601 for waiver of criminal conviction, misrepresentation, or unlawful presence; I-212 for admission after deportation; or I-360 for special immigrant juvenile or VAWA status. Appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) for a denied or revoked I-130 for a spouse or family member. I accept these cases for clients living anywhere in the world.

Immigration Advice for Criminal Charges. Advice on the best plea to minimize the immigration effects of a conviction. Evaluation of the consequences of a past conviction. I provide advice on pending charges only if the case is in California. I provide advice on past convictions that have occurred anywhere in the United States and sometimes for foreign convictions.

I have represented clients from as far away as Austria and Brazil on appeal to the AAO or BIA, but most of my clients reside in Northern California, including Alameda, Antioch, Bakersfield, Berkeley, Chico, Concord, Daly City, Dublin, Emeryville, Eureka, Fairfield, Fremont, Fresno, Gilroy, Hayward, Livermore, Marin County, Martinez, Modesto, Monterey, Morgan Hill, Napa, Novato, Oakland, Palo Alto, Petaluma, Pittsburg, Pleasanton, Redding, Richmond, Sacramento, Salinas, San Francisco, San Jose, San Leandro, San Lorenzo, San Mateo County, San Rafael, Santa Clara County, Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, Stockton, Tracy, Union City, Vacaville, Vallejo, Walnut Creek, and Watsonville.

Scott Mossman's practice is limited to federal immigration law, with an emphasis on removal (deportation) defense, appeals, and federal court litigation. In removal cases, he only represents persons within the Ninth Circuit (Alaska, Arizona, California, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, the Mariana Islands, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington) and usually only if the hearing will occur, or has occurred, in the San Francisco Immigration Court. That Court has jurisdiction over San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Sacramento, and the rest of Northern California from Redding to Bakersfield. Scott Mossman represents persons on appeal to the BIA and Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) in USCIS petition and waiver cases arising throughout the world.
