Protecting Immigrants From Deportation
What should you do if you are being threatened with criminal deportation?
In the U.S., a non-citizen could be subject to deportation back to their
home country if they have been convicted of certain crimes, including
smuggling aliens into the country, perjury, an aggravated felony, or a
high speed flight from an immigration checkpoint. Typically, a person
convicted of a crime like this could be facing time in prison and heavy
penalties. For a non-citizen, the consequences are much more life-altering;
he or she could lose the life he or she has made in the U.S. permanently.
At our firm, we use our extensive understanding of both immigration and
criminal law to fight for individuals like you.
