If you are an immigrant and have been charged with domestic violence, it is important to understand how a domestic violence conviction will impact your immigration status. Domestic violence is considered a crime of moral turpitude, and a conviction may jeopardize your immigration status, sometimes resulting in deportation.
Although a plea agreement where the only requirement is to plead guilty and attend a domestic violence class may often seem like a good deal just to get the matter closed, it may result in eventual deportation and permanent separation from ones' wife and children. It is important to understand the actual consequences of a conviction beyond just paying a fine and attending a domestic violence class.

What if You Are Undocumented?
If you are a non citizen who is the subject of a criminal investigation, being taken into police custody generally means that an immigration hold will be placed on you. Even if the criminal case is dropped, you still may not get out of custody and removal proceedings can be initiated. That is why it is critical to work with a criminal defense attorney who understands immigration law and can work to keep you from going into custody.
At our law firm, we know the effect that criminal law matters can have on matters of immigration law. We use this knowledge to help minimize the consequences of a domestic violence arrest. We strive to help you avoid deportation, keeping you here with your family.
