Legal Services

 

 

We offer the following legal services:

  • Initial consultations for individuals, families, criminal and immigration lawyers on criminal immigration issues, such as safe pleas and how to avoid deportation.

  • Full investigations and written reports including arguments against deportation in immigration court, and feasibility studies on the chances of reopening convictions in criminal court to obtain an immigration-safe alternative disposition.

  • Providing strategies and sample pleadings for efforts to obtain post-conviction relief to reopen criminal convictions in criminal court to avoid their adverse immigration consequences. 


Consultations

 

Our consultations include review of criminal history documents and immigration status, and a telephone or personal conference with one to three staff members for 1.5 hours, including written notes.  Learn more about our consultation process.

 

Investigation and Report

 

A full investigation includes obtaining all necessary documents from the criminal file, original counsel’s file, and the immigration file, doing a complete written analysis and legal research, and outlining a strategy for avoiding immigration damage both in immigration court and criminal court.   

 

Post-Conviction Relief

 

We develop a strategy for re-entering criminal court, reopening the original conviction or sentence, and obtaining an alternative immigration-safe disposition in any court in the country.  We also provide sample pleadings and court documents to be tailored to the client's case. We work through local counsel best placed to win the necessary relief, who draft and finalize court documents, negotiate with the prosecutor, and handle the court appearances.
