Being arrested and charged with a crime is probably the most traumatizing event that could happen to someone, short of losing a loved one. Getting caught up in the criminal justice system can be incredibly stressful and confusing and could result in a devasting impact on someone’s life and could ruin career and potential school opportunities. The immigration consequences of suffering a criminal conviction can be devastating as well and can lead to someone being removed from the United States, even if they have permanent residency in the United States and even if they have been living in the United States for decades. Having quality legal representation is imperative for anyone faced with such life-changing situations.

Immigration laws are fast-changing and change constantly. During the Trump administration, even a simple adjustment of status application became much more difficult due to the new requirement of the tedious I-944 application (thankfully the Biden administration has done away with this form for adjustment of status cases). Nevertheless, even the most straightforward immigration case can take a wrong turn and end up stuck in a sea of unanswered delays and prolonged decisions on your case.

If you are in removal proceedings, the process in which the government seeks to remove you from the United States and return you to your country, securing quality legal representation is imperative to even begin to navigate the twists and turns of immigration law in immigration court. Many immigrants come to the United States and end up in removal proceedings and get removed from the United States before even seeing an Immigration Judge because they lack that knowledgeable legal representation.
