Criminal Issues in Immigration Law
Looking for A Specific Post? Search Below
Criminal arrests and convictions complicate immigration cases and may lead to removal proceedings. From the point of arrest, an immigration attorney should be involved in advising immigrants and criminal defense attorneys on any consequences that the criminal case may have on immigration status. Before any non-citizen accepts a plea bargain, it is important to consult with immigration counsel to minimize any adverse immigration consequences.
Crimes can affect both documented and undocumented immigrants. For those who have lawful status in the United States, crimes may subject them to removal proceedings or make them ineligible for waivers of deportation. Those applying for lawful status in the United States may be disqualified by their crimes.
Nevertheless, there are special immigration waivers that may be available to undocumented and documented immigrants who face criminal charges. Constructing a strong plea agreement may ensure that the non-citizen remains eligible to seek a discretionary waiver before the Immigration Judge. Once a criminal conviction is final, non-citizens should seek immigration counsel knowledgeable in the area of immigration and crimes to zealously fight their case.
There are also immigration benefits crime victims who assist in the investigation or prosecution of the offender. If you believe that you have been the victim of a crime, you should consult with an immigration attorney early on for advice on how to proceed.

I saw Justin Burton today and I was impressed with his professionalism and ability to get me to feel positive, after several other attorneys made me feel negative and got me to believe it will never be possible to get my Greencard. Looking forward to getting the results I was told!!
I met with attorney Matthew and he was great, we didn't feel rushed and he explained everything in detail, parking wasn't the best I parked in a parking garage for an hour $39.00 definitely better to take public transportation.
When I first came to Kevin, my case had been stuck in limbo for over 12 long years. I had previously worked with other attorneys who were unable to make any real progress.
