I provide concise or comprehensive Padilla memos that outline the immigration consequences of a pending charge or plea. These can be used to advise your client, guide plea negotiations, and document your compliance with Padilla v. Kentucky.
I assist in evaluating whether a prior conviction can be reopened or challenged based on misadvice, lack of understanding, or procedural error. I help draft declarations, coordinate with prior counsel, and identify strategic post-conviction options that may preserve your client’s immigration future.
I consult on charge reductions, plea structures, and sentencing modifications that minimize immigration consequences—helping you craft deals that protect both your client’s liberty and their legal status.
When prosecutors or judges need to see the bigger picture, I help you build compelling mitigation packets that humanize the client and illustrate immigration hardship, family ties, or rehabilitation—especially useful in plea bargaining or sentencing.
I organize the client's criminal and life history into a clear, lawyer- and court-friendly format. These timelines and summaries help contextualize your client’s background, support discretionary outcomes, and clarify complex procedural histories.
