Immigrants who are not yet U.S. citizens have special legal needs often requiring a criminal defense lawyer and an immigration lawyer. Fortunately our firm handles both. A U.S. citizen who pleads guilty to an offense, often to a lesser charge to prevent jail time, usually pays a small fine or obtains probation and returns home relieved not to serve jail time.
For aliens, immigrants and even lawful permanent residents a guilty plea, resulting in a small fine or probation, can result in deportation or removal from the U.S. Entering the U.S. without a visa (EWI) and remaining here more than 1 year illegally allows that person to apply for permanent residence though an LPR or U.S. C. spouse. A waiver or pardon is necessary which requires them to return to their home country for a minimum of a few months to submit the application.
To be approved that person must prove extreme hardship to their U.S. citizen or lawful permanent spouse or parent.
Through the past 35 years, the firm has achieved a reputation of success in jury verdicts and settlements in Northern Nevada in a wide range of cases including birth injuries, wrongful death, defective and dangerous products, premises liability, boating accidents, automobile and trucking collisions, dangerous highways, insurance bad faith, medical malpractice, civil rights violations, and negligence cases generally.
