In immigration matters, if a person is charged with committing any kind of crime, they may be risking deportation. The following case highlights the beneficial outcomes that may be reached with proper representation of the facts under the most equitable application of the law.
FACTS:
A client’s 2001 conviction for felony assault recently placed her in removal proceedings. Since her sentence was two years suspended, the conviction constituted an aggravated felony under immigration law. Even though she had been trouble free for ten years, she was locked up at the Bristol County House of Correction. The family went to see several attorneys who told her that she would be deported. Attorney MacDonald was hired in July, 2011.
RESULTS:
Post-conviction was filed and granted within 3 weeks. Client is now released from detention and her removal case will be terminated.
