Tulsa Immigrant Criminal Defense Lawyer

If you are an illegal immigrant your problems may have only begun when you are charged with a criminal offense. A felony or misdemeanor conviction could result in deportation or an inability to obtain U.S. citizenship in the future. Even if you are innocent, it is important to contact a skilled criminal defense lawyer who understands the immigration issues stemming from felony and misdemeanor charges.

Skilled Illegal Immigrant Lawyer

I have significant experience working with legal and illegal immigrants facing issues such as deportation, revoked visas, and denied citizenship due to criminal charges. I have interpreters available for non-English speakers and believe that language barriers should not hamper my client’s criminal defense.

If you are convicted of a crime and sentenced to jail time the INS will typically begin deportation proceedings regardless how long you have been in the United States or your family ties. Therefore in many criminal cases, especially those involving drugs, assault or battery, and murder, a plea bargain may not be in your best interest. If you are deported due to a criminal conviction you may be barred from ever returning to the United States.

Even some misdemeanor convictions can result in deportation or removal proceedings. Therefore if you are a legal or illegal immigrant facing a misdemeanor or felony charge, it is important to discuss you legal options with an attorney who understands how immigration status relate to criminal proceedings. I am committed to taking the time to handle my client’s criminal defense while considering the consequences any result may have on the immigration status.
