If you are charged with having committed a misdemeanor criminal (including traffic) offense, it can have serious consequences for your rights and privileges in the United States, whether you are a U.S. citizen, LPR, student, visitor, undocumented, or otherwise. Even minor traffic citations can impact your ability to stay in the United States, depending on the facts and circumstances.

A conviction, jail time, or a probation order may cause you to be placed into ICE custody and deportation or removal proceedings, and an experienced attorney can help you navigate the options, risks, and consequences of any decision, before accepting any plea negotiations or even paying your ticket online. We may be able to help you avoid jail time or other outcomes that might impact your immigration status, and can fight your case in court to obtain the best outcome for you.
