Removal/Withholding and Deportation Matters:
- Immigration consequences of criminal convictions: We are able to help you for different removal and deportation matters depending upon the nature and type of the criminal conviction, the date of the conviction, the length of the sentence and the amount involved. Even if granted probation and no fine is imposed, an alien may still be deported/removed if an alien who commits an “aggravated felony” or “crime involving moral turpitude.” This area of the law is extremely complicated.
- Persons overstaying their visa are subject to detention, bonding and there are some relief available under asylum, Convention Against Torture (CAT).
- Bonding: We can represent you in determining the amount and qualification for bonds for you friends and family detained anywhere in the United States.
- Our firm specializes in both criminal law and deportation/removal matters. Often we substitute into the underlying criminal case to modify the underlying criminal conviction or sentence to eliminate the immigration consequences.
- Criminal defense attorneys are often unfamiliar with immigration laws. Even a petty offense charge can invoke a Notice to Appear for removal proceedings for aliens.
