Houston Criminal Immigration Lawyer
Criminal Immigration Attorneys Defends the Rights of Houston Immigrants
Many immigration lawyers do not understand what steps to take in the criminal courts after an immigrant gets arrested for a crime. Likewise, many criminal defense attorneys do not know how to handle criminal convictions when the client is at risk of deportation. So, when immigration law and criminal defense come together, the combined result is one of the most complex and technical areas of law. Naturally, you need an experienced Houston criminal immigration attorney who is knowledgeable of the immigration consequences of criminal convictions if you want any chance of presenting a strong defense for your case.
Criminal immigration is especially threatening because these particular types of cases have the potential to tear families apart. Individuals convicted of a crime could be punished to the fullest extent of the law, including deportation and permanent removal from the United States, with no hope for return. Houston immigration attorney Jennifer A. Lopez is dedicated to protecting the rights of Houston immigrants who may be facing possible deportation and works avidly to ensure that immigrant families stay together.

Criminal Law and Immigration Law Defense
Criminal conviction can change a person's life in a single moment. When an immigrant is accused and charged with a crime, however, the consequences are especially overwhelming. Even the most minor of crimes, like petty theft, driving without a license, or even possession of a controlled substance could potentially lead to deportation or permanent removal.
Individuals convicted of crimes may be permanently ineligible to immigrate to the United States, and immigrants who have taken up residence in the U.S. with a green card could risk losing residency permanently, leading to deportation. Due to complicated immigration laws, being convicted of a crime could force you to be deported back to a country that you may have originally escaped from due to violence, war, or persecution. Having to return to a country that is experiencing war, where you may not know anyone, have no source of income, do not know the language, or are persecuted could be absolutely devastating.

"Jennifer is fantastic in everyway"Put simply, Jennifer is fantastic in everyway. She is very knowledge, very friendly & warm, always smiling, and very patient. She made me feel very comfortable asking questions and did not feel rushed at all. She made sure to listen to all my questions and concerns during my initial consultation and answered all of them either immediately or after a few clicks on her computer. I have only been out of her office for 30 minutes and I've already recommend her to 2 family members :)- Sean A.

"Trust your gut and go with Jennifer"Do yourself and your immigration case a favor and choose Jennifer! I needed a criminal immigration lawyer to assist me with applying for naturalization with two previous charges. She was extremely personable, knowledgeable, competent, and communicated every step of the way, and her staff was equally friendly and helpful. She explained processes and "what if" questions that helped me understand and ease my mind, and most of all, she gave me hope when other lawyers would not take my case. Our appointments were never rushed, and it felt like she truly cared. Plus, her initial consultation fee and fee for services were actually reasonable and less expensive compared to the other top-rated Houston criminal immigration attorney we first went to who took my consult money without taking my case. Trust your gut and go with Jennifer! You will not be disappointed.- Nico S.
