We will stand by you in immigration court appearances.

Our legal team has experience handling removal proceedings for individuals who have:

  • Committed a crime
  • Entered the United States illegally
  • Overstayed a visa
  • Violated U.S. immigration laws
  • Abandoned their residency
  • Voted unlawfully

Understanding Deportation for Criminal Offenses

Non-citizens who commit certain crimes can be harshly punished under the Immigration and Nationality Act. Mainly, crimes of moral turpitude (CMTs) and aggravated felonies commonly lead to deportation proceedings.

Defining Crimes of Moral Turpitude

Crimes of moral turpitude include those committed with "fraud, larceny, and intent to harm persons or things."

Some examples of crimes of moral turpitude include:

  • Assault with intent to steal or murder
  • Assault likely to lead to bodily injury
  • Burglary and arson
  • Sexual assault
  • Child abuse
  • Domestic violence
  • Welfare fraud
  • Drug possession for sale

There is a "petty offense" exception for crimes of moral turpitude. If the penalty for a crime can never exceed one year in jail, and you served less than six months for the offense, then the crime might not be classified as a CMT. Some common crimes under the petty offense exception include simple DUIs and minor shoplifting. To learn more about moral turpitude, get in touch with a deportation attorney at our Florida immigration firm.

Commonly Asked Questions

What are the common grounds for deportation in Miami?

In Miami, individuals may face deportation for various reasons, including committing crimes, entering the United States without authorization, overstaying a visa, or violating U.S. immigration laws. Factors such as criminal history, including charges that fall under crimes of moral turpitude, can heavily influence deportation proceedings. Understanding these grounds is essential for anyone navigating the complexities of the immigration system in Florida.

Can I still fight against my deportation after receiving a hearing notice?

Yes, receiving a notice for an Immigration Court hearing does not mean deportation is inevitable. You have the right to contest the government's claim of removability. If you can provide evidence that contradicts the charges, or if you qualify for forms of relief, the immigration judge may rule in your favor. It's pivotal to work with a knowledgeable team who can effectively present your case and advise you on the best strategies for defense.

    "She is amazing!!"
    They say marriage interviews you are to be afraid of - but with Ms. Lamardo, that is out the door. Juliana helped us get all together, talked to us, gave us a preview and we felt way more confident. The day arrived and it was so fun with her, we laughed, we met other attorneys, we even forgot that we had the interview. We went in, and everything went smoothly. It was great! She is amazing!! Of course before all that fun we had some serious time to prepare and get everything we needed and she helped us do that and her name is well known so we were good. I just want to say - Thank you very very much!

    "An Absolutely Incredible Job on My Case"
    Ms. Lamardo did an absolutely incredible job on my case. She listened attentively to my concerns and addressed every single item I was worried about. I have had a series of very bad experiences with multiple attorneys and Ms. Lamardo came highly recommended for her experience and professionalism. She went above and beyond even showing up to USCIS when no one would return her calls or emails about my case. NOW HERE I AM, VERY HAPPY TO BE A PERMANENT RESIDENT. Next, my citizenship. THANK YOU JULIANA, YOU SAVED MY LIFE. If you are looking for the best, I strongly recommend you call Ms. Lamardo before you waste your time and money on a bait and switch firm. She will attend to your case personally.

    "She Was a Great Support"
    Attorney Lamardo was recommended to us by a friend and at a time of desperation, she was a great support. She assisted my husband out of deportation proceedings...Even though she was assisting us long distance, I do not have any complaints about her diligence. She is responsible and knowledgeable about the process. I have recently reached out to her after a few years without contact and I received a response within 10 minutes after the email was sent. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who may be in need of an immigration attorney!
