Lead Attorney & Founder
Featured on Netflix's "Inventing Anna," Todd Spodek brings decades of high-stakes criminal defense experience. His aggressive approach has secured dismissals and acquittals in cases others deemed unwinnable.
A Brooklyn resident with a green card was arrested for a misdemeanor assault charge after a bar altercation, and two weeks later received a Notice to Appear in immigration court alleging he is removable under the Immigration and Nationality Act. His family has lived in the United States for over fifteen years, and his children are U.S. citizens.
Can a single misdemeanor conviction really lead to my deportation, and is there any way to fight this removal proceeding?
Under INA § 237(a)(2), certain criminal convictions can render a lawful permanent resident deportable, but not every misdemeanor qualifies as a removable offense — the classification depends on whether the crime is considered an aggravated felony or a crime involving moral turpitude under federal immigration law. An experienced deportation defense attorney can evaluate whether your conviction falls within a deportable category and may pursue relief such as cancellation of removal under INA § 240A(a), which is available to lawful permanent residents who have held their green card for at least five years and have seven years of continuous residence. Given that you have deep family ties and U.S. citizen children, an attorney can also present equitable factors to the immigration judge demonstrating that your removal would cause exceptional hardship to your family. Acting quickly is critical because missing deadlines or failing to appear in immigration court can result in an automatic order of removal.
