Criminal Law

• Criminal Defense
  Unfortunately, immigrants quickly find many problems in dealing with the law on immigration. First, United States immigration law is one of the most complicated and intricate areas of law. Second, there are very few attorneys that specialize in immigration law. Third, many immigrants do not read and write English well-enough, much less legalese, to understand the dense regulations of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Fourth, immigrants are often initially advised by notarios, false attorneys, which make immigrants’ cases more difficult than they would have to be. Finally, most immigrants do not know they should always hire an immigration attorney if they are ever charged with a criminal offense. Many immigrants are surprised to learn that almost all criminal activity has negative, and in most cases, unduly harsh immigration consequences. Very few attorneys, even experienced criminal defense attorneys, truly understand the specialized field of immigration consequences of criminal activity.
