Brooklyn Crimmigration Attorneys

Dedicated Immigration Representation in New York & New Jersey

When someone is charged with a crime in the United States, their freedom and reputation are on the line. As a non-citizen, your immigration status may be at risk, too. A single conviction may lead to removal proceedings. The term “crimmigration” refers to the complex intersection of criminal and immigration law.

If you have been charged with a crime, you need a legal representative who understands the potential immigration implications. Too many criminal defense attorneys do not realize that accepting a seemingly reasonable plea bargain can still result in an immigrant’s removal from the United States. At Usher Law Group, our Brooklyn crimmigration lawyers know what is at stake and can provide the compassionate, results-oriented representation you need during this stressful time. We have over a decade of legal experience and will work tirelessly to protect your future in the United States.

Will a Criminal Conviction Lead to Deportation?

If you're not a citizen of the United States, even if you are a green card holder, you may be put into deportation proceedings if you commit certain crimes. The types of crimes that may subject a non-citizen to being put into removal proceedings and potentially deported from the Unites States vary state by state and are extremely complex to navigate. You need an experienced immigration attorney with crimmigration experience that can help defend you, not just from being convicted in criminal court, but also either placed in deportation or ultimately be removed from the United States. At Usher Law Group we have almost a decade of experience litigating crimmigration issues, from drug trafficking to complex white collar crimes. Under crimmigration policies, these ambiguous provisions can be interpreted to mean an immigrant can be removed for participating in any type of criminal activity. As a result, any criminal conviction, no matter how seemingly minor, can potentially jeopardize your visa. 

Even lawful permanent residents can potentially be placed in removal proceedings if they are convicted of a deportable offense. Only naturalized citizens are safe from deportation.
