Post-Conviction Relief Attorney John E. MacDonald announces the successful resolution of another case.
2004 conviction for possession of several kilograms of cocaine was vacated based upon the United States Supreme Court’s ruling in Padilla v. Kentucky.
Client has received a lengthy suspended sentence in 2004 and remained trouble free but was recently arrested by ICE officials and placed into removal proceedings.
Since the conviction constitutes an aggravated felony conviction under the INA, client was subject to automatic removal.
Now that the conviction has been vacated, client may re-open and terminate removal proceedings.
