When it comes to immigration status, there are certain misconceptions that tend to cause people a lot of trouble and heartache. If you have already received a green card or are considered a permanent resident, you do not have the same rights as citizens of the United States and will be treated as equal under the law.

If you find yourself in the midst of a court of law due to criminal misconduct, your immigration status could be in significant danger. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that everything will be okay, even if you’re found guilty. People face deportation all of the time – it is not an uncommon outcome depending upon the severity and type of the crime in question. You need an attorney who has handled hundreds of bond hearings and deportation defense, in order to have the best chance possible.
