We have Many Legal Strategies to Protect Immigrants

Defending a person charged with violating a federal immigration law can be challenging. But with the right attorney on your side, the challenges become far less significant. We have been through immigration hearings countless times and we can prepare you for what to expect. We can also anticipate the government’s strategies for keeping you from achieving your goals. The following represent just a few of the strategies that we may use to fight for your rights:

• Citizenship: What are the ways someone is a United States citizen? Anyone born in the United States is a U. S. citizen. But various other people not born in the United States can claim citizenship under various conditions and circumstances. A determination that you are a U. S. citizen will act as a complete defense in certain cases.
• Citizenship for persons born abroad: There is a set of very important preliminary questions we ask of our clients charged in immigration cases where their foreign/alien status is an element of the offense. We may ask where your parents and grandparents were born and what their citizenship status was. This may allow us to create a defense based not on residency but on citizenship and heritage.
• Automatic acquisition of citizenship because of parents’ naturalization: The rules for citizenship for persons born abroad focus on the status of the parents inpassing citizenship to their offspring. This can render a person a citizen from birth. A person born outside the U.S. to alien parents can acquire citizenship from parents if one or both parents naturalize and certain other conditions are met. In this case, the person would become a citizen of the United States upon satisfaction of a final condition.

The above are only a few of the circumstances that we are prepared to explore in defense of your rights. Our experience and skill with immigration cases is vast and will be clear when you call us at 205-335-2640.
