Aggravated Felonies

Southern California Lawyer for Aggravated Felony Defense

When an immigrant, legal or illegal, is convicted of aggravated felony, he or she faces deportation without eligibility for cancellation of removal. An aggravated felony is not necessarily a true felony offense. If the crime (misdemeanor or felony) was one of violence or theft if the resulting sentence is 365 days or longer, whether imposed or suspended, it is considered an aggravated felony on a criminal record.

We are here to help if you have been arrested, charged with or convicted of a deportable offense and are facing removal, loss of green card or ineligibility to enter the U.S.

An Aggravated Felony Defense Lawyer Who Understands Immigration Law

Many criminal defense attorneys without an understanding of immigration law will counsel their clients to accept a plea bargain and/or a suspended sentence. This effectively keeps the client out of extended jail time. However, if the person is an immigrant, he or she may face removal and permanent banishment from the United States with limited exceptions. In some circumstances, it is better to accept a reduced sentence and jail time than a suspended sentence and criminal deportation.

An experienced aggravated felony defense lawyer such as Mark A. Davis can provide the information you need to know what option works best for you and for your family. With an understanding of immigration law, he knows the often permanent consequences of criminal deportation. He also knows the list of aggravated felonies that may trigger removal proceedings for legal or illegal immigrants. These may include:

• Murder
• Rape of sexual abuse of a minor
• Drug trafficking
• Firearms offenses
• Fraud with more than $10,000 in loss
• Owning a prostitution business
• Theft

Attorney Davis provides strong advocacy for immigrants and citizens facing criminal charges and penalties. From offering defense to filing motions to vacate to fighting for appeals, he works for the reduction and removal of criminal charges and maintaining cancellation of removal eligibility.
