Criminal Defense of Immigrants

Criminal counsel addressing the immigration consequences of a criminal case will seek to avoid creating a ground of deportability, see § 5.22, infra, a ground of inadmissibility, see § 5.23, infra, or a bar to eligibility for immigration relief, see § 5.24, infra.  Clients with multiple charges or multiple criminal cases present special difficulties.  See § 5.25, infra.
