I have been the Immigration Law Director for the New York Regional Immigration Assistance Center, Region 2, for the past two years, practicing exclusively in the area of "crimmigration," providing advice to criminal and family law attorneys about the immigration consequences of criminal arrests/convictions for their noncitizen clients.  I have also conducted numerous and extensive trainings not only to attorneys, but also to Judges at all levels within the NY state judicial system.  "Crimmigration" is a specialized area within the field of Immigration Law, and is rapidly evolving, as the consequences of even an arrest become increasingly adverse for those who are not U.S. citizens.  Contact me if you are a noncitizen defendant facing criminal charges, a Respondent in a Family Court matter, or if you are an attorney representing either who needs proper immigration advice.
