For anyone who has been charged with a criminal offense and is not a citizen of the United States, the best thing to do is contact an experienced immigration lawyer immediately upon your arrest. Without taking proper precautions, you could lose your immigration status, but the right criminal deportation defense could make all the difference. At the Miami office of Irving Joseph Gonzalez, Attorney at Law, we will make sure your rights are protected.
Criminal Waivers and the Immigration & Naturalization Process
Ideally, our clients are able to contact us prior to their trial, but we are ready and willing to step in at any part of the process in order to protect your immigration status. If you have been charged with a crime, we recommend that you contact us before you plead; we will work to have the charges reduced so that a conviction would not affect your immigration status. Even if not possible, we still work diligently to minimize the effect of any charge or conviction on your status. This includes representing you at trial.
In order to receive a criminal waiver, you must demonstrate that someone in your family, generally a spouse, parent or child, will suffer an extremely unusual hardship if you were deported. Alternatively, if you are able to show that you have undoubtedly rehabilitated your life, you may get the chance to keep your family intact by filing a 212(c) waiver, if applicable.
If you have been charged with any crime involving moral turpitude in the state of Florida, you may have to obtain a criminal waiver in order to protect your immigration status. We help our clients obtain criminal waivers for a variety of state and federal felonies and misdemeanors, including:
- Drug trafficking
- DUI and drunk driving
- Weapons crimes
- Violent crimes, including homicide and assault
- Medicare and Medicaid fraud
- Alien smuggling
- Illegal re-entry after deportation
- Driver's license suspensions and revocations
After filing an application for a criminal waiver in court, we will represent you at your hearing. We represent non-detained aliens but can also travel to the Krome Detention Center, Broward Transitional Center (BTC) or other immigration detention center to meet with aliens who have already been detained.
We also handle cancellation of removal proceedings for clients already facing deportation hearings.
