Deportation Due to Criminal Charges Attorney
Deportation Due to Criminal Charges Attorney
Whether you currently have a criminal case pending, or are an immigrant who has been convicted of a crime, it is critical that you obtain legal advice due to the harsh immigration consequences of particular convictions. At Colombo & Hurd, our criminal immigration lawyers represent immigrants charged with criminal violations in order to ensure the protection of our clients’ immigration status. Criminal convictions can lead to major problems for immigrants, whether legal residents or undocumented immigrants. This is in part because immigration law defines a “conviction” differently than most local, state, and even federal courts, and immigrants who are not “convicted” in those courts often have a conviction for immigration purposes. This poses severe problems for green card holders when they travel, seek to become citizens, or even renew their green cards. Green Card holders are often shocked to find out a past conviction which seemed to be a bad memory can actually result in detention and even deportation! Criminal convictions can also cause serious issues for undocumented aliens if they are detained, or seek to later adjust status. In addition, immigration considers the immigrant ineligible because of the multiple ways that immigration defines a “conviction.” If you are an immigrant with a current or past criminal matter, then you should consult with an attorney to protect your rights and avoid serious problems.
