Criminal & Immigration

When faced with both immigration and criminal issues, it is essential to fully understand your rights and your options so that you can make the right decision. Often times immigrants charged with crimes are encouraged to accept a plea agreement which will reduce their criminal charges and allow them to be released from jail.

However, by pleading guilty to a crime, even a misdemeanor, an immigrant may lose the opportunity to remain in or return to the United States. Therefore, it is extremely important for an immigrant charged with a crime to speak with a lawyer who is experienced in both criminal and immigration matters before making a decision that could forever impact the immigrant's ability to reside in or return to the United States.

At Wickens Law Group, we have years of successful experience representing immigrant clients who have been accused of crimes to minimize the immigration consequences of the criminal charge and preserve their opportunity to remain in or return to the United States.
