Providing legal guidance for cases where criminal issues affect immigration status, protecting rights and residency.
Criminal and immigration overlap cases involve situations where criminal charges or convictions affect an individual’s immigration status. Certain offenses can make non-citizens inadmissible, removable, or ineligible for visas, green cards, or naturalization. Addressing these cases requires careful coordination of criminal defense and immigration law to prevent or mitigate negative consequences, such as deportation or loss of immigration benefits.
We provide strategic guidance to individuals facing criminal-immigration issues by analyzing the case, assessing risks, and identifying possible defenses or relief options. Our team collaborates with criminal defense attorneys when necessary, prepares legal filings, and represents clients before immigration authorities to protect their status, rights, and future in the United States.
