Nowhere is the government’s aggressive policy of initiating deportation and removal proceedings against non-citizen’s more apparent than with regard to those who have been convicted of a crime. A minor violation can now have disastrous effects for non-citizens and their families.
At Cohen & Forman, our experience in both criminal law and immigration law is a unique asset in our handling of deportation and removal proceedings filed against non-citizens who has been convicted of a crime.
United States Immigration Law classifies certain crimes as specific types of criminal-immigration offenses. Potential defenses for non-citizens who are in removal or deportation proceedings due to a prior criminal conviction often revolve on how the Immigration Law classifies their conviction.
Therefore, the first step in preparing a defense to removal and deportation from the U.S. on criminal grounds is a thorough analysis on what the non-citizen’s crime is considered under the U.S. Immigration law.
