Mansfield, TX Immigration Law Firms & Lawyers

Various criminal charges and outcomes of criminal cases can render someone ineligible for naturalization and even may result in disqualification for continued Permanent Resident status. If a foreign national is facing a criminal charge, he/she should assure that the criminal defense attorney is skilled in addressing immigration-related issues, or should have that attorney collaborate with an immigration attorney. If the foreign national's criminal case has been completed, then there is no substitute for engaging an immigration attorney to review the "disposition documents," including the charging document(s), the plea, the court decision and court-imposed sanctions, and proof that all sanctions have been satisfied. Certified copies of the disposition documents will be important in the naturalization process itself, assuming that the person is eligible to file. Some immigration law firms, including mine, offer legal services on a "flat fee" basis so that a client will know the total expense from the very beginning, and a few immigration law firms, including mine, offer an initial consultation free of charge.
