Coachella Valley Criminal Defense Lawyer

Many of our clients are immigrants. You probably have noticed that the government is attempting to deport immigrants if they have any legal reason to so. A criminal record can be such a reason. Now is the time to have a look at your record if you have one. In some cases it is worth looking if there are ways to expunge records. Not every expungement can help to avoid a deportation, but you should try everything possible. Talk to us if there are items on your record and you are not a citizen. Don't wait until ICE is knocking on your door!

A loved one in trouble? We will be at their side.

The new year began with an interesting conversation. In the hallway of the court I met an immigrant who had been charged with a crime. His first intention had been to fight the charge because he felt he was innocent. But then the prosecution offered him a deal: 2.5 years in prison, possible probation... it sounded good. Too good. What sounded like a good deal for an U.S. citizen would have devastating consequences for an immigrant. A crime like the one he was charged with an...d a sentence of any time from a year up would mean automatic deportation. He did not know. Criminal defense is hard enough. But defending immigrants is a completely different game. We at our Coachella Valley office are ready to play! If you know an immigrant being charged with a crime, have him or her contact us for a consultation. It could make a huge difference.
