Philadelphia DUI Defense Lawyer for Non-Citizens

Being convicted of DUI in the United States can lead to serious repercussions. These consequences become even more severe for non-citizens. When a non-citizen is arrested for DUI, a permanent record is made of the arrest. As a result, this arrest can appear every time the non-citizen attempts to enter the country, adjust his/her status, or otherwise obtain an immigration benefit.

Whether a non-citizen convicted of a crime faces deportation proceedings depends on the nature of the offense for which the individual was convicted. The government examines whether the offense can be characterized as an aggravated felony, or a crime involving moral turpitude (CIMT). Analyzing this type of situation can be critical because these convictions can greatly alter a non-citizen’s immigration status. It is important to remember that simply because the Government is claiming an individual is removable, many times their strong defenses that must be argued that can potentially keep a non-citizen in the United States.
