Criminal defense and removal hearings

Many immigrants who are facing deportation or removal proceedings have either been convicted of or charged with a crime. If you have a green card or residency status and have been charged with a crime, we can provide you with the immediate legal attention you need. Depending on the charges you face or your conviction, our criminal defense attorney may be able to negotiate a plea that will prevent deportation or removal. Contact us today to learn more about your rights.

If you have already been convicted of a crime:

If you have already been convicted and you are seeking assistance in a deportation proceeding, there may still be legal remedies available to you. We may be able to file habeas corpus, 6500 Motions, and other post-judgment motions to correct or vacate a federal or state conviction. We may also be able to challenge the validity of the judgment through a “collateral attack.”

An example of certain remedies we have sought in Immigration Court includes a petition for asylum, cancellation of removal, a petition for withholding of removal, and a petition for deferral of removal under the United Nations Convention Against Torture. In the event that we cannot prevent your deportation, we may ultimately advise you to accept voluntary departure to minimize the consequences of and prevent a forced departure.
