Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Deportation Defense Attorney
Deportation proceedings are usually initiated after an immigrant has been charged with committing a crime. However, regardless of whether an immigrant is in the country legally or illegally, they have certain rights under US law. At the Philadelphia law office of Steven P. Barsamian, we challenge deportation actions on the part of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and Justice Department involving expired visas, criminal charges, and unlawful entry into the United States. We work with our own investigators, researching allegations of forged or inaccurate visa applications, participation in illegal activity, and unlawful entry in the United States. In most cases, the state presents its case, providing little time to assemble documents and evaluate the evidence involved. As your lawyer, Mr. Barsamian will petition the court to grant a stay of deportation if necessary to thoroughly prepare your case.
Don't wait until you have few, if any, legal options available - contact deportation defense lawyer Steven P. Barsamian today. As your attorney, Mr. Barsamian will work hard to protect your rights in deportation or removal proceedings. He will serve as your legal counsel and representative during any interactions with law enforcement or immigration officials.

Criminal Charges and Removal Proceedings
Too often, immigrants arrested on criminal charges are told by their criminal defense attorney to plead guilty to a crime in exchange for either a reduced charge or sentence - even if the person is innocent. However, under United States law, certain criminal convictions are removable offenses even if they involve lesser charges than what you were originally arrested for. Consequently, in cases involving DUI, drug possession, and assault, even if the charges against you are reduced to a misdemeanor, you could still face deportation. Before pleading guilty to any criminal charge, you should consult with an experienced immigration attorney who can evaluate whether or not the plea bargain will negatively affect your immigration status.
As your deportation defense attorney, Mr. Barsamian explains to the court why you pled guilty and how you were misled in the first place. Our office is prepared to challenge the validity of the initial charges but also focuses on procedural issues that call into question whether you received proper legal guidance.
