Answered by attorney Kenneth G. Wincorn
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Kenneth G. Wincorn & Associates, P.C.
The answer is yes, the deportation can be stopped. He should not be in immigration custody until after the criminal case is concluded. Then he can be defended so he can stay in the U.S.

If I let someone drive my vehicle and I was the passenger and he committed a crime without my knowledge am I guilty also

Tristan Nicolas Legrande
Answered by attorney Tristan Nicolas Legrande
Criminal Law lawyer at LeGrande Law
Knowledge or intent must be proven in a theft case. Don't talk to the detective. Don't answer questions. Don't do an interview. Be polite about it, but never talk to the police if you are being contacted related to an investigation of any kind. You will not need to contact an attorney if and until you are charges - there is nothing an attorney can do to make the police stop contacting you.  Good luck.

Can I get two charges removed on one case?

Cynthia Russell Henley
Answered by attorney Cynthia Russell Henley (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Cynthia Henley
What are you asking? If you got a deferred on a felony that you successfully completed and 5 years has passed since your release from probation and the theft case occurred before the felony, you are eligible to petition the felony court for nondisclosure but you must pay a filing fee and present it to that court in which the case was prosecuted. You really need a lawyer. Regarding the misdemeanor - if it was a final conviction, it stays. If it was a deferred and you successfully completed probation then you can petition the misdemeanor court in which THAT case was prosecuted. If it was dismissed, you must file for expunction in civil district court IF you qualify (which you may not....) You need to talk with a lawyer local to where your cases were prosecuted.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
