When a case threatens your status.

50+ YEARS COMBINED · NATIONWIDE
01 · THE STAKES
Deportation is the real sentence

For non-citizens, a criminal conviction can mean removal, denied citizenship, or a closed door for your family - consequences that outlast any sentence. The defense must account for both.

02 · HOW THESE CASES START
Two systems, one life

Immigration court and criminal court run on different rules, and a safe plea in one can be catastrophic in the other. We plan the two together, from the first consultation.

03 · HOW WE FIGHT
Defense built for status

We negotiate dispositions that protect your status, fight removability, and prepare the record your future applications will stand on. Nationwide, with a fully online portal.

What we handle.

EVERY MATTER BEGINS WITH A FREE CONSULTATION
01 Criminal-immigration defense The plea that is safe in criminal court can be catastrophic in immigration court. We plan both together.
02 Removal & deportation defense Detained or noticed to appear - we move fast, because the clock is the first enemy.
03 Family petitions Spouses, parents, children - petitions prepared right the first time.
04 Naturalization & citizenship Applications, interviews, and the old records that complicate them - cleaned up and carried through.
05 Visas & status Status problems solved before they become removal problems.
06 Appeals & motions to reopen A denial is not the end - the record we build is what the appeal stands on.
DON'T SEE YOUR SITUATION? IT'S LIKELY WE'VE HANDLED IT.

The questions everyone asks first.

ALL QUESTIONS, ANSWERED →
Q.01
Will a guilty plea get me deported?

It can - some convictions are automatic removal grounds. Never take a plea without immigration analysis. We structure dispositions that resolve the criminal case and protect your status.

Q.02
My family member is detained - how fast can you move?

Immediately. Bond hearings, custody reviews, and emergency motions are same-week work. The consultation is free and the phone answers 24/7.

Q.03
Does an old conviction block citizenship?

Not always - it depends on the offense, the time passed, and how the record reads. We review before you file, because a bad filing can trigger removal instead of citizenship.

THE STANDARD
A plea that saves the case but loses the country is not a win.

We owe loyalty to only you. Strategy starts the day you call, and every client holds the senior partner's cell number.
