We focus our criminal defense practice to non-U.S. citizens who face potential deportation if convicted of a criminal offense. As a result of a major change in immigration law, non-citizens of the United States including permanent resident aliens can be deported as a result of criminal convictions, even minor misdemeanors.
We have unique experience in defending non-citizen aliens because of our understanding of the immigration consequences of criminal convictions. Most criminal defense attorneys representing non-citizen defendants do not understand the immigration consequences of convictions. Due to our experience dealing with the interaction of immigration and criminal law, we have been forced to seek post conviction relief (undo the mistake of the original criminal defense attorney) to save the alien from deportation. Therefore, make the right choice from the beginning and retain an attorney knowledgeable in both fields.
- Felonies (Theft, Burglary, Assault, Homicide, Drug offenses, Gambling related charges)
- Misdemeanors (DUI/DWI, Domestic Violence, Shoplifting, Solicitation of Prostitutes, Driving with Suspended License, etc.)
