Deportation Proceedings

If you are not a United States citizen and you are charged with a crime, your ability to live and work in the United States is in jeopardy. It is important to consult an experienced criminal defense attorney who is aware of immigration consequences before pleading guilty or accepting any plea bargains. Certain crimes, whether misdemeanor or felony, can subject a person to removal or deportation. The two common categories of crimes that can lead to your deportation/removal are Crimes Involving Moral Turpitude (CIMT) and aggravated felonies. Past convictions can be used against you and place your into removal proceedings.

If you are placed in deportation/removal proceedings, you may be eligible for a bond hearing, which may allow you to be released from ICE custody. We will assess your case and determine your eligibility to remain in the United States through various forms of relief such as cancellation of removal, withholding of removal, and asylum.

It is imperative that you contact our office immediately upon being informed your family member is in custody.
