I review prior Padilla memos or criminal case files to assess whether your client received proper immigration advisals. This includes identifying grounds for §1473.7 motions or ineffective assistance claims, and drafting supporting declarations.
I help build and support post-conviction strategies to challenge old convictions that block relief or trigger deportability. This includes drafting motion content, coordinating with former defense counsel, and preparing evidence for vacaturs or plea withdrawals.
I work with you to interpret the criminal record in light of relief eligibility (e.g., cancellation, asylum, VAWA, CAT), and flag records that may need cleanup. I can help plan around bars or build advocacy narratives that soften their impact.
I compile persuasive mitigation materials that frame your client’s criminal history within a broader story of hardship, rehabilitation, and merit—supporting PD requests, hardship arguments, or discretionary decisions.
I prepare detailed, organized timelines and summaries that clarify the criminal-immigration overlap. These are useful for NTA analysis, cancellation prep, or submissions to OPLA, EOIR, or USCIS.
