International Protection Law

At Chrysa Matthaiou LLC, we specialize in international protection law, offering comprehensive legal services to individuals seeking asylum, refugee status, and other forms of international protection. Our dedicated team of attorneys is committed to providing compassionate representation and advocacy to individuals fleeing persecution and seeking safety and security in a new country. International protection law, also known as refugee law or asylum law, encompasses legal principles and mechanisms aimed at protecting individuals who have been forced to flee their home countries due to persecution, war, violence, or other threats to their safety and well-being. Our firm provides a full range of international protection law services, including:

  1. Asylum Applications: We assist individuals seeking asylum in preparing and submitting asylum applications to government authorities, including the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and national asylum offices. Our attorneys provide strategic guidance and representation throughout the asylum application process, advocating for our clients' rights and interests at every stage.

  2. Refugee Status Determination: Our firm represents refugees in refugee status determination proceedings, helping them navigate the complex legal requirements for obtaining refugee status and protection under international law. We advocate on behalf of our clients to ensure that their claims are fully considered and that they receive fair and impartial decisions on their refugee status applications.

  3. Humanitarian Visas and Resettlement: We assist individuals in obtaining humanitarian visas and exploring resettlement options in third countries for those who are unable to return to their home countries due to ongoing threats to their safety and well-being. Our attorneys work closely with international organizations, government agencies, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to facilitate the resettlement process for our clients.

  4. Family Reunification: We provide legal assistance to refugees and asylum seekers seeking to reunite with family members who are separated due to conflict, persecution, or displacement. Our firm helps individuals navigate the family reunification process, including visa applications, sponsorship requirements, and legal documentation necessary to reunite families in a safe and timely manner.

  5. Legal Advocacy and Appeals: Our attorneys advocate on behalf of individuals in appeals of negative asylum decisions, deportation proceedings, and other legal challenges to their international protection claims. We provide experienced representation in administrative appeals, judicial review proceedings, and international human rights forums to protect our clients' rights and ensure access to effective remedies.
