Criminal Convictions & Immigration Consequences

When Your Freedom and Status Are at Risk, We Fight for Both.

A criminal charge or conviction can have serious consequences for your immigration status—even if it seems minor under criminal law. At Vasquez Law Firm, we help non-citizens understand their rights, fight removal, and pursue immigration relief after contact with the criminal justice system.

Immigration and Criminal Law: A Dangerous Intersection

Many immigrants—documented or undocumented—face deportation or inadmissibility because of:

  • DUIs or drug offenses
  • Domestic violence or assault charges
  • Theft or fraud-related offenses
  • Firearm or gang-related activity
  • Criminal convictions even with probation or plea deals

Even lawful permanent residents (green card holders) can be placed in removal proceedings after an arrest or conviction.

How We Help

We work closely with you—and when necessary, with your criminal defense attorney—to build a strong immigration strategy that protects your future:

  • Legal analysis of the immigration consequences of criminal charges
  • Deportation defense for non-citizens with convictions
  • Post-conviction relief strategies to reduce immigration harm
  • Applications for waivers or cancellation of removal
  • Representation in court and with ICE

We understand both the law and the human side of what’s at stake.
