Legal Information and Legal Assistance from Smith Criminal Defense Firm
Criminal charges are always serious. For immigrants, though, a criminal conviction can bring even more problems. For instance:
- If you are an immigrant, a conviction can lead to deportation
- If you have a green card, a conviction can lead to the loss of your permanent residency status
- A conviction can lead to the loss of your chance for American citizenship
Your right to remain in the U.S. isn’t threatened only by a felony conviction. Even a seemingly minor and “private” domestic violence dispute can lead to deportation, as can a one-time conviction for petty theft.
