Data compiled by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse back that up. Since 2005, 96% of cases in Utah where an individual was allowed to remain in the U.S. had an attorney. On the contrary, eight in 10 people whose cases resulted in a removal, or deportation, order did not.
But having a lawyer in immigration court is becoming rarer.
In 2017, Utah had the eighth-highest representation rate of any state. Nearly 60% of cases in immigration court had a lawyer. Since then, rates have fallen nationwide, but especially in Utah. The state now ranks 34th with less than a quarter of cases having an attorney.
