Criminal and immigration law are perceived and practiced, as mutually exclusive areas of law. However, there has been an increasing intersection between the two complicated areas of law. Often clients find themselves having a need to retain two separate attorneys, a criminal defense and an immigration law attorney, to resolve an issue arising out of the same set of facts.

A criminal history, however small, can ruin your chances for a green card or worse, land you in deportation proceedings, or permanently bar you from entering the U.S. Expungements  and often rehabilitative relief, do not make your immigration implications go away; such crimes can still land you in deportation proceedings, inadmissiable or keep you outside of the U.S. The immigration implications of pleas, convictions, and admissions vary depending on federal law, where you reside and how that Circuit has interpreted the meaning and scope of the state statute for purposes of Federal immigration law under which you are convicted, the length of time you may have served in jail, and your criminal attorney’s and the criminal judge’s behavior through the case. You need a very experienced criminal attorney who will fight your criminal case so you can avoid deportation and obtain your U.S. permanent residency.

Our law firm brings together the expertise from these complicated areas of law to resolve our clients’ legal issues  effectively and most importantly in a cost efficient manner. Call today to discuss your case.
