Immigration Waiver Lawyer - Offices in Lafayette and New Orleans

At Gahagan Law Firm, LLC, we help individuals and families across Louisiana and the U.S. navigate complex immigration issues - including applications for immigration waivers when facing inadmissibility. From our offices in Lafayette and New Orleans, we work quickly and strategically to help clients stay in the country and move forward with their immigration goals.

Inadmissibility means the U.S. government believes a person is legally barred from entering or remaining in the country. Reasons for inadmissibility can include criminal charges, health concerns, visa overstays, fraud or misrepresentation, and more. If you've been told you or a loved one is inadmissible, working with a skilled immigration waiver attorney is critical to your success.

Unlawful Presence Waivers · Waivers of Removability · Federal Litigation

There are many types of immigration waivers available, each with different legal standards and eligibility requirements. Michael Gahagan, an experienced Louisiana immigration attorney, will personally evaluate your case and recommend the best path forward. He has represented clients in everything from deportation defense to federal immigration litigation, and can assist with:

• Unlawful presence waivers – For individuals who entered the U.S. without legal inspection or overstayed a visa, including spouses of U.S. citizens
• Waivers of removability – For those in removal proceedings due to certain criminal convictions or immigration violations
• Hardship-based waivers – Demonstrating that a qualifying U.S. citizen or green card–holding relative would face extreme hardship if you were denied entry or removed

In waiver cases, success often depends on the ability to present strong documentation — including financial records and evidence of family hardship. With both legal expertise and a Master’s in Business Administration, Michael Gahagan offers a rare combination of legal and financial insight that strengthens waiver applications and hardship arguments.
