Criminal Defense of Immigrants

Just consider what happens if a criminal lawyer fails – for whatever reason – to protect the client’s immigration status.  The attorney simply does a customary good job at minimizing the crime, and minimizing the time, but does not realize that the client is a foreign national who is subject to the immigration laws of the United States.  If the client pleads to a common misdemeanor – such as theft or assault – and receives a suspended one-year sentence, a time bomb is ticking in the client’s life.
