Immigrant in Trouble, will you be Deported?

If you are an immigrant to the United States and in trouble with the law in Las Vegas or Henderson, you need to contact a Las Vegas criminal defense attorney immediately.  DO NOT TRUST A PUBLIC DEFENDER when you have been charged with a crime to inform you of your rights regarding how the United States will treat you after you have been charged for a municipal or State crime.

Your right to remain in the United States can be greatly affected when you are charged with a misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, or felony.  You should have a criminal defense attorney in Las Vegas review your charges to determine whether they could result in your deportation. 

Your criminal defense attorney has a duty to tell you whether your crime could result in deportation.  According to the United States Supreme Court, when the law is unambiguous, attorneys must advise their criminal clients that deportation "will" result from a conviction. Furthermore, when the immigration consequences of a conviction are unclear or uncertain, attorneys must advise that deportation "may" result. Finally, attorneys must give their clients some advice about deportation—counsel cannot remain silent about immigration. Padilla v. Kentucky, 130 S. Ct. 1473 (2010).

So, whether you are visiting the United States, here on a visa or Green Card, or are a permanent resident, you should always consult with a private criminal defense attorney when you are arrested or charged with a crime in Las Vegas or Henderson.
