Javier Antonio Taveras is an Associate at Garcia, Miranda & Gonzalez-Rua, P.A. Mr. Taveras represents individuundefinedals in all immigration-related matters, including but not limited to, deportation defense before the immigration court.

Mr. Taveras began his legal practice as a Staff Attorney for Catholic Legal Services (“CLS”), a non-profit organization providing legal services to the immigrant community in both Broward and Northern Miami-Dade County. In his time with CLS, Mr. Taveras represented persons in deportation proceedings before the Miami Immigration Court, as well as persons with Visa Petitions with the South Florida USCIS Offices. At CLS, Mr. Taveras also conducted weekly “Know Your Rights” presentations to persons being held in immigration detention at the Broward Transitional Center while their removal proceedings were pending; all of this as part of the Legal Orientation Program, which is funded by the Department of Justice’s Executive Office for Immigration Review.
