Connecticut Immigration Lawyer
If you are not a US born American Citizen, you can be in a world
of trouble if you are arrested on a criminal offense
in Connecticut.
Even if you are a
naturalized citizen, you can be
deported if you are convicted of a felony
charge.
In 2005, a law was
passed that allows for your naturalized
citizenship to be stripped and revoked after a
conviction.
This law was supposedly passed to deal with
people accused of crimes related to terrorism. But
is it being widely applied, and anyone facing a
criminal charge who fits this circumstance is at
risk.
This law can apply to anyone, even if:
- you were allowed in the country under
asylum,
- given a green card, or
- granted naturalized citizenship.
I had a client who faced this very issue. He
arrived in the country with his parents when he was
4 years old, and became a citizen as a teenager when
his parents did.
Defenses to Fight Deportation After a Criminal
Charge
If you still have an active
criminal charge in Connecticut, and have not
been convicted, then you still may have the ability
to avoid an immigration nightmare.
- You can fight and beat the felony charges.
- You can fight to get the charges reduced to
misdemeanor offenses, which should take the
immigration issues off the table.
There may be legal options for you that an
immigration lawyer can help you with. Please contact
me for help and further details.
