Experienced Criminal Defense Attorneys for Non-Citizens
If you are not a U.S. citizen, a California criminal charge can have serious consequences for your immigration status. It is important that you hire a criminal defense lawyer who understands these consequences and is prepared to help you avoid them if possible.
At The Law Offices of Michael L. Davidson, our attorneys have helped thousands of Bay Area clients — including both documented and undocumented immigrants — fight criminal charges. If we handle your case, we will pay close attention to any potential immigration consequences.
Evaluating Consequences for Documented Immigrants
If you have legal permanent resident status (a green card), an H-1B work visa or any other immigrant visa, a conviction for drug possession, DUI or another criminal charge could have consequences ranging from deportation to difficulties obtaining naturalized U.S. citizenship.
Our attorneys are dedicated to carefully evaluating the potential immigration consequences before taking any actions on behalf of our non-citizen clients.
We are not immigration lawyers and cannot give you specific advice on immigration law. However, we will work with an experienced immigration attorney, if necessary, to ensure that we are taking the best possible steps in your criminal defense case.
Fighting to Keep Undocumented Immigrants Out of Jail
Criminal charges can be particularly damaging for undocumented immigrants. If you are undocumented and are sent to jail for any length of time, you may be reported to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and taken into immigration custody for potential deportation.
Based in San Mateo, our attorneys represent clients throughout the Bay Area. If you have been arrested and are concerned about the immigration consequences of your charges, call us at 866-719-9678 or 650-288-0483 or send us an e-mail to schedule a free consultation.
