Immigration Attorneys If you are an immigration practitioner with limited or no experience with federal court litigation, but have a client who requires representation in federal court, feel free to contact us to see if we may be able to represent him or her. We have prepared numerous briefs involving criminal deportation defense that were forced into federal courts as a result of the 1996 amendments to the immigration laws. Criminal Defense Attorneys If you are a criminal defense lawyer you may come across a client who is not a United States citizen. As a result, your client's conviction may trigger removal proceedings against him or her. It is always advisable to ask your client his or her immigration status prior to starting plea negotiations. Also, as a general rule, if a conviction can be pled down to a violation or a misdemeanor, your client has a better chance of being eligible for relief from removal (it may not completely prevent the initiation of removal proceedings, but at the very least, your client may have the opportunity to seek relief from removal). Please feel free to contact us if you would like to consult with us on your client's behalf. |
