Criminal Defense of Immigrants

Mandatory immigration detention can have a devastating effect on a client’s life and the life of his or her innocent family.  Because immigration custody is so difficult to tolerate, many immigrants who are not deportable at all are erroneously deported because they cannot stand the harshness of the immigration detention during the months or years that may elapse before the immigration or federal courts eventually exonerate them.  It is therefore of the greatest importance for criminal counsel if possible to avoid a disposition in the criminal case that triggers mandatory deportation.
