New York City Crimmigration Attorneys
Working to Stop Your Deportation
At Â鶹TV, our immigration law department is primarily focused on representing both clients who need legal assistance with matters pertaining to U.S. immigration law and those facing criminal charges. In 2007, Attorney Cory Forman launched the firm’s crimmigration division, which specifically handles cases that have a convergence of criminal and immigration law.
Our mission is simple: to help non-citizens understand and avoid the serious immigration consequences of immigrants committing crimes. When criminal and immigration law intersect, immigrants are subject to the additional penalty of deportation in addition to the normal consequences of committing a crime, such as an arrest or conviction.
Being criminally convicted can impact your entire future. You may find it difficult to obtain employment, find housing, maintain meaningful relationships, or stay in the country. With our attorneys on your side, you can get a much better chance of navigating the criminal justice system and keeping your immigration status.
Call Â鶹TV, PC today for help with criminal deportation proceedings, preserving immigration status, or other immigration matters. We’ll listen carefully to your story and leverage our experience, knowledge, and skill to get you the best outcome possible.
Why Criminal Defense Attorneys are Not Enough
Is there really that much difference between representing a U.S. citizen who is convicted of a crime and a non-citizen? The answer is yes. Both non-citizens in removal proceedings based on a criminal record or non-citizens facing criminal prosecution are in need of crimmigration lawyers who have an in-depth knowledge of both criminal and immigration law and how they coincide.
In 1996, Congress passed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA), which President Clinton signed into law. As part of its broader aim to establish tougher immigration laws, IIRIRA imposes severe penalties on noncitizens accused of committing crimes in the United States. IIRIRA ‘s impact on noncitizens charged with even minor criminal offenses has had enormous ramifications.
We understand the legal implications of IIRIRA and other immigration laws when it comes to our clients’ criminal cases. We apply this detailed knowledge and decades of experience with every piece of advice and every moment of legal representation on your behalf. With our legal team on your side, you can rest assured that your immigration issue will be resolved in a positive manner whenever possible. Call Â鶹TV, PC now to schedule your free consultation.
Immigration Consequences of Criminal Convictions NY
The consequences of criminal convictions related to immigration crimes in New York can be very serious. They include mandatory detention for even long-time lawful permanent residents, administrative and expedited removal for those convicted of crimes classified as aggravated felonies, and precluding certain waivers or forms of relief for individuals who have established a life in the United States.
In 2010, the U.S Supreme Court in Padilla v. Kentucky held that the Sixth Amendment requires criminal defense counsel to advise noncitizen defendants of the immigration consequences of a criminal conviction. The decision is the Court’s acknowledgment of how prevalent the intersection of criminal law and immigration law has become. Many non-citizens who once believed their criminal case was resolved first learn of the severe immigration consequences of that case only after being denied an immigration benefit or being placed in removal proceedings.

Bond and Detention Litigation
Some of the most unforgiving aspects of IIRAIRA are its provisions related to the detention of non-citizens. Under the law, even lawful permanent residents are prohibited from obtaining a bond hearing if convicted of certain crimes.
The crimmigration attorneys at Â鶹TV, PC are not afraid to take on these cases and challenge the government’s efforts to keep noncitizens detained due to prior criminal activity while simultaneously seeking to deport them from the country.
