Protect Your Immigration Status From A Conviction

A conviction can significantly impact your immigration status in several ways. If you’re an immigrant, certain convictions, especially those related to drug offenses, can lead to severe consequences such as removal from the United States. If you are convicted, you may become ineligible for any adjustment of your immigration status, as well as for naturalization or other immigration benefits.

When crimes involve moral turpitude or aggravated felonies, a conviction will likely initiate the deportation process. Even as a lawful permanent resident, a criminal conviction can jeopardize your chances of staying here. Depending on your charges, you may also be barred from returning to the country if you were ever to leave.

We can help you understand what is at stake in your criminal charges and how they can impact your immigration status. Our legal guidance is provided by experienced and committed immigration attorneys who can help you through every step of your legal challenges.
