Comprehensive Defense for Citizens and Noncitizens
Unlike standard criminal practices, the Law Offices of Anthony J. Pullara focuses specifically on preventing criminal charges from triggering adverse immigration outcomes like inadmissibility or mandatory removal. As experienced criminal defense lawyers and knowledgeable deportation defense lawyers, the firm defends clients facing diverse allegations:
- Crimes of Moral Turpitude and Theft: Astute theft and burglary defense lawyers negotiating charge reductions, petty theft civil compromises, and immigration-neutral dispositions to protect permanent residency status.
- Controlled Substance Accusations: Thorough drug crime defense lawyers representing clients in simple possession, distribution, and transportation matters while safeguarding naturalization eligibility.
- Allegations of Family and Interpersonal Conflict: Empathetic domestic violence lawyers handling corporal injury allegations, protective order hearings, and spousal battery charges.
- Crimes Involving Physical Harm: Vigorous violent crime defense lawyers defending against assault with a deadly weapon, firearm enhancements, and battery accusations.
- Impaired Driving Offenses: Skilled dui/dwi defense lawyers contesting drunk driving charges to prevent driver license suspension and criminal penalties.
- Cross-Border Immigration Advocacy: Working alongside immigration lawyers across the country who refer clients facing deportation due to historic California court convictions.
Post-Conviction Relief and Vacating Old Criminal Records
A past criminal record can permanently block an immigrant from obtaining citizenship or re-entering the country after traveling abroad. Anthony J. Pullara has achieved extraordinary success petitioning California superior courts for post-conviction relief. Those who need to find a lawyer to clear their record receive skilled guidance in:
- Motions to Vacate Under Penal Code § 1473.7: Vacating convictions entered when defendants did not understand the severe immigration consequences of their plea.
- Ineffective Assistance of Counsel Petitions: Challenging previous guilty pleas where original defense counsel failed to advise clients about mandatory deportation.
- Sentence Reductions and Expungements: Modifying sentences from 365 days to 364 days or fewer to prevent offenses from being categorized as aggravated felonies under federal law.
