I was arrested by the police. Am I going to have trouble with immigration?

In almost every situation, an arrest is going to have some kind of an impact on immigration, whether that means your ability to come back into the country, or your ability to remain in the country. Most crimes, even for the simplest of drug offences, can result in catastrophic immigration consequences, including deportation, which obviously would have a significant impact on not just you, but also your family. You can also be prevented from entering back into the United States if you get convicted for any kind of crime, or if you have open cases that are pending, they’ll often hold you at either the airport or at the ports. For you to resolve these criminal cases, you need an experienced criminal defense attorney who also understands immigration law, and we can help you with both of those situations.
