Criminal Defense, Immigration, Removable Offenses and Deportation
A conviction for even a minor crime can put a non-citizen's immigration status at risk. In fact, a conviction for a seemingly minor criminal charge, such as prostitution, can lead to removal proceedings and deportation.
If you are a non-citizen and face a criminal charge, you need help from an experienced criminal defense lawyer who understands the interplay between criminal charges and immigration status.
