Immigration Protection
If you are not a United States citizen and care about your present or future immigration status you most certainly need a lawyer who knows and practices in the area where criminal law and immigration law overlap. This is sometimes called Crimigration Law. Many crimes have terrible immigration consequences, including denial of immigration benefits such as DACA, denial of Naturalization and even deportation of Legal Permanent Residents. The United States Supreme Court has ruled that lawyers who represent non-citizens in criminal proceedings have a legal duty to affirmatively seek a favorable result to protect their clients' immigration status. Mr. Hanley has extensive experience in this regard and will do everything legally and ethically possible to protect non-citizen clients.
