Message from Noelle Sharp

Founder & Managing Immigration Attorney
Former Assistant Chief Immigration Judge, DOJ–EOIR

I’ve spent my career working to protect immigrant communities — as an advocate, supervising attorney, national policy leader, and supervisory judge.

My experience spans the full spectrum of immigration law:

• community-level humanitarian work

• private practice in removal defense

• managing high-volume litigation teams

• national-level strategic policy at DOJ

• adjudicating detained and non-detained cases as an Immigration Judge

• supervising judges and court operations as an Assistant Chief Immigration Judge

  After years of serving inside the system, I founded Sharp Deportation Defense Group to continue this work on the front lines — fighting for individuals and partnering with law firms that need experienced litigation support.

Our Philosophy

Clients often come to us during some of the most frightening moments of their lives — facing deportation, separation from family, detention, or years of uncertainty. We never forget the weight of that.

We promise:

• Honest, clear, strategic advice

No false promises — only realistic guidance and a path forward.

• Exceptional preparation

Every filing is thorough. Every argument is intentional. Every detail matters.

• Empathy + respect

We treat every client with dignity, patience, and understanding.

• Strong, confident representation

We know the stakes. We fight relentlessly for justice, safety, and fairness.
