Consultations On The Immigration Consequences Of Criminal Pleas
Criminal defense attorneys have a duty to advise their clients about the immigration consequences of pleading guilty to any offense under Padilla v. Kentucky. However, immigration regulations are complicated and ever-changing. Lauren Jo Law can advise you on the potential consequences to your non-citizen clients of any potential plea. Consultations are only available for New York cases, and require review of client's criminal record and immigration history.
Advice On The Impact Of Immigration Status On Legal Rights
Your client's right to work, study, travel, and receive government benefits are all dependent on his or her immigration status. Life changes such as divorce or death of a spouse can alter a non-citizen's rights. Special care should be taken to protect the rights of non-citizens in family law proceedings, probate documents, and business contracts. Lauren Jo Law can advise you on the impact of your client's immigration status on legal rights. Advice is limited to proceedings under New York or Federal law.
