“Crimmigration” is the intersection between criminal law and immigration law. Many criminal attorneys do not know enough about immigration matters to properly counsel their clients leading to a situation where the client accepts a plea from the government only to find himself facing deportation. If you have a pending criminal matter and a pending or potential immigration case it is recommended that you consult with an experienced immigration attorney, like Nita Kundanmal, before accepting a plea.
By the time a loved one is detained by immigration authorities or ICE there has likely been a series of events that triggered the arrest. If there was a domestic conflict, a 911 call by a neighbor, or criminal arrest even without a conviction, the immigration enforcement agents will be alerted. They situation moves quickly. For example:
- There is an arrest
- A criminal case is filed
- Immigration authorities become aware
- The person is detained
- The immigration case is accelerated
Often an individual first seeks a criminal defense attorney and may be under the belief that the criminal attorney can assist with all of the issues. That is frequently wrong. When there are multiple legal cases there is often a need for multiple attorneys, unless you can find an attorney who can handle both types of cases. Nita Kundanmal and her team are experienced in handling both criminal and immigration matters and can assist with both.
If you are working with a criminal defense attorney, you need to ensure that he coordinates with the immigration lawyer. You need to ensure that your immigration lawyer is experienced in immigration bond/detention cases and Federal Habeas Litigation. A decision in one of these cases will directly impact on the other. Most attorneys do not handle all three types of cases. If you have an arrest and any type of immigration case you must insist that your attorneys talk!
There are options like filing a habeas corpus petition, but you need an experienced immigration attorney to guide you. If you or a loved one is detained by immigration, contact the Law Office of Nita Kundanmal for a consultation to discuss your options.
