There are countless reasons why you or a loved one needs to seek asylum in the United States.

Martinez Attorney At Law can advocate for you.

What Is Persecution?

Persecution is when threats of harm or harmful acts are made against an individual. They cannot be avoided by relocating; they will happen no matter where they are located within that country. The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) does not provide a specific explanation as to what is considered to be persecution except for situations that involve those who fear a “coercive population control program”. 
Common examples of persecution are:

  • Death threats
  • Threats of violence
  • Discrimination
  • Interference with you and your family’s privacy
  • Unfair detention
  • Unfair imprisonment
  • Torture

Since 2009, our law firm has helped secure asylum status for those needing protection in the United States. As a bilingual attorney, we offer services in English or Spanish. Call (513) 275-1081 to work with our asylum lawyers in Hamilton and Mason today.
