Comprehensive Legal Services
Our practice focuses on the intersection of criminal and immigration law, a complex field often referred to as ”crimmigration”:
- Immigration Law: We represent clients in removal (deportation) defense, asylum claims, family-based petitions, and citizenship applications. We are skilled in finding relief for those facing removal due to criminal convictions.
- Criminal Defense: rigorous defense for federal and state charges, including OWI (DUI), drug offenses, and violent crimes. We fight to minimize the immigration consequences of criminal charges.
- Appellate Practice: We are experienced in filing appeals with the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) and federal circuit courts.
