Having interned with the Maryland Office of the Public Defender advising on immigration consequences of criminal pleas, attorney Justiniano provides skilled counsel on complex intersectional matters. The firm works to protect clients from pleading guilty to deportable offenses and helps individuals seek post-conviction relief.
