Immigration and criminal law are often treated as separate areas, but for noncitizens, they are closely connected. A single criminal charge can carry immigration consequences that extend far beyond the immediate case outcome.
Without proper coordination, decisions made in criminal court—such as accepting a plea—can lead to removal proceedings, inadmissibility, or loss of eligibility for immigration benefits. These consequences may not always be obvious at the time of the case.
This is where a coordinated legal strategy becomes essential. Addressing both the criminal and immigration aspects together allows for more informed decision-making and better risk management.
D’Britto Law focuses on this intersection, commonly referred to as “crimmigration.” By evaluating both areas simultaneously, we develop legal strategies designed to protect immediate outcomes while safeguarding long-term immigration status.
