Constructing a Solid Deportation Defense in Queens

Your Legal Rights and Options

If you are an alien who has been accused of a crime, it is vital you contact a Queens criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. The earlier an attorney begins work on your case, the more opportunities there may be to defend your rights and fight for a just outcome. One of the first possibilities that should be reviewed is that of the reduction and removal of criminal charges. It may be that certain procedural violations of lack of admissible evidence can result in your case being dismissed. If your case is to proceed, it may be possible to have your charges reduced to a non-deportable offense.

Even if your case has already been concluded and you were convicted or entered a plea of guilty or no contest, certain circumstances may exist which allow your legal counsel to file a motion to vacate the conviction, plea or sentence. Any of these can have the potential to nullify the effect of conviction on your immigration status. Depending in the specific circumstances, you may also be eligible to file an appeal or pursue other post conviction relief such as a Padilla claim. Even if deportation proceedings against you have already begun, there may be grounds for your legal representation to pursue cancellation of removal and protect your right to remain in the U.S.
