Immigration Consequences/Post-conviction relief
ARE YOU AN IMMIGRANT FACING
CRIMINAL CHARGES?
If you are currently facing criminal charges and your
immigrant status is not finalized, uncertain or in limbo
please see me now.
Now is the time to discuss with me what can be done in
your criminal matter to minimize the impact it can have on
your immigration matters.
Certain crimes and sentences can automatically disqualify
you from certain immigration relief or related status or
benefits. Some crimes and sentences depending on
your status can subject you to immediate deportation
proceedings!
What you may not know, however, is that through successful
negotiations in your criminal maters many times a
resolution can be reached that avoids these possible
consequences. You, however, must choose the right lawyer.
Sometimes reaching a needed resolution will require
creative or “outside side the box” thinking. It will
require an attorney (or attorneys, in which case it may
mean more money out of our pocket!) that is familiar with
both immigration and criminal procedures and law. I have
handled hundreds of criminal matters both as a prosecutor
and a criminal defense lawyer. I am an experience and
trained immigration lawyer. This dual experience and
training can be at your disposal to reach a resolution in
your criminal matter that minimizes its affects on your
immigrations status, which sometime will only be reached
through “outside the box thinking’’ which may not be at
your disposal if one or both of my sort of experiences and
training is missing from your dual representation. I say
“dual representation” because your immigration and
criminal matters are both separate matters neither of
which should be ignored by you or your lawyer.
Even if your case is a “run of the mill” criminal case you
should always be certain of the effects that your criminal
matter will have on your legal status and only an
immigration law trained lawyer can tell you this—
a short conversation me can give you long term
peace of mind.
IF YOU HAVE BEEN CONVICTED OR FOUND GUILTY WE STILL MAY
BE ABLE TO HELP YOU.
If, however, by the time you have read this you have
already taken a plea or have been found guilty by a judge
or jury and are now feeling the wrath of immigration
consequences it is not too late to contact my office. Your
case must be properly investigated and evaluated, as you
may have possible defenses or motions that can still be
raised that may allow the court to vacate your conviction.
I have handled these matters in the past with success for
other clients, especially those facing immigration
consequences. You, however, must act now. Many if not all
defenses and motions have time limitations which if
invoked by the court or government in your case could bar
or prevent your motion. The moment that you are in may
appear dim but my training and experience may lead you to
a brighter day. Call me now and I may be able to
assist you.
