CRIMINAL DEFENSE FOR NON-US CITIZENS

Even minor criminal convictions can trigger deportation for green card holders, permanent residents, and undocumented immigrants. Because of the many immigration consequences related to criminal matters, it is important to partner with the best lawyers to protect yourself. Our criminal defense immigration attorneys in Atlanta are ready to assist, regardless of our clients' immigration status, visa application details, or other details. We will help you achieve due process, avoiding deportation and other consequences whenever possible.

​

Who is at risk of being deported because of criminal convictions?

Any non-citizen resident who has been convicted of a felony may be deported from the United States (non-citizens include undocumented immigrants, foreign nationals, permanent residents, and green card holders). A felony is any criminal offense that is punishable by more than one year in jail or prison. Some certain criminal convictions, such as those for aggravated felonies, domestic violence, money laundering, and related criminal activity, may be classed as crimes of moral turpitude, which can significantly increase the risk of deportation.

​

What about misdemeanors?

Misdemeanors are less serious crimes, but even small-scale criminal conduct can affect immigration status. A single DUI conviction, for example, is classified as a misdemeanor, but it can be considered a deportable offense for some non-citizen clients. If you are facing criminal charges for a misdemeanor, contact our Atlanta criminal lawyers ASAP for assistance.

​

I’m an immigrant with a criminal record. What can I do?

If you are a non-citizen facing criminal charges, it is important to seek legal help from skilled immigration lawyers immediately. In some cases, it may be possible to avoid a criminal conviction altogether. In other cases, post-conviction relief may be an option.
