Providing Criminal Defense to United States Immigrants

Following 9/11, the United States has increased its monitoring of immigrants inside its border. Judges, prosecutors and law enforcement officers with a political agenda do not hesitate to take action against immigrants who may be guilty of a crime. Without an advocate who understands the consequences of criminal conviction and immigration your future in the United States could be in jeopardy.  Even if you are a permanent legal resident or hold a valid visa, ICE (Immigration and Custom Enforcement) can detain, or even potentially deport you for various criminal charges and convictions, many of which may not seem serious to you.  

Do not attempt to handle the situation on your own. Even in cases involving undocumented immigration, you DO have rights that must be protected. Call the federal criminal defense attorneys at Murphy & Price, LLP, at 410-777-8723.

Our federal criminal defense lawyers have extensive experience in defending both criminal immigration-related offenses, including:

• DUI/DWI
• Drug crimes
• Financial crimes
• False statements made on immigration documents and forms
• Employment Violations
• Harboring
• Exploitation
• Traffic Offenses containing elements of fraud or carrying stiff penalties
• Theft, Embezzlement, Structuring or Money Laundering
• So-Called Crimes of Moral Turpitude

If you are not a citizen of the United States, criminal conviction can lead to dire consequences. The Department of Homeland Security can take several actions against you as a result of a criminal conviction. In some cases, they may deny you re-entry into the United States if you choose to leave. In other cases, they may pursue deportation, automatically removing you from the United States.

Actions by the Department of Homeland Security are often permanent and do not take into consideration any family members you may having remaining in the United States. To protect yourself and your loved ones, it is essential to work with a lawyer experienced in the immigration consequences surrounding criminal charges.
