Beyond fines, probation, jail, or prison, criminal defense lawyers should advise their clients on the collateral consequences of a conviction, including potential issues with employers or their immigration status. Negotiate a plea deal that will minimize these collateral consequences and ensure your client has all the information they need to make decisions about their future.
- Negotiate a plea deal that won't result in deportation or inadmissibility
- Provide your client with an opinion letter from an immigration or employment lawyer
- Determine when an expunged offense should be disclosed to an employer
