Protecting Your Immigration Status

We work closely with clients to understand their immigration situation and develop criminal defense strategies that minimize immigration consequences. This includes:

• Identifying which charges are deportable offenses or crimes of moral turpitude
• Negotiating plea agreements that avoid immigration consequences when possible
• Advising on post-conviction relief options if a conviction affects immigration status
• Coordinating with immigration counsel to address both criminal and immigration matters
• Exploring alternative sentencing options that are less harmful to immigration cases

This integrated approach ensures that your criminal defense strategy protects not just your freedom, but also your ability to remain in the United States with your family.
