In addition to its administrative practice, Angela M. Bean & Associates represents clients before the Federal District Court and Ninth Circuit Federal Court of Appeals. Ms. Bean successfully argued the case of Faisal Saidane v. INS, 129 F.3d 1063 (9th Cir. 1997), in which the Ninth Circuit held that in deportation proceedings based on a charge of a marriage fraud, the government's use of a damaging affidavit instead of producing the witness to testify violates the alien's right to a fair hearing.
