Immigration Client Saved from Deportation

Attorney MacDonald posts the following case results in a deportation case originated in Florida.

FACTS:

A client’s conviction for domestic assault in 2000 caught up with him 10 years later and placed him in removal proceedings in Florida. The client’s family had attempted to vacate the plea with another attorney but were unsuccessful. Attorney MacDonald was hired in April, 2011. A review of the plea colloquy showed that there were defects in violation of Rule 11 of the District Court Rules of Criminal Procedure.

RESULTS:

Post-conviction was filed in June, 2011 and granted in August, 2011.

Client is now no longer subject to deportation and is now eligible to apply for citizenship.
