Avoiding Deportation for Aggravated Felonies
Teleseminar

Aggravated felony convictions trigger the most disastrous immigration consequences of any ground of deportation and result in terrible criminal sentences for those who re-enter after deportation.

This three-part Teleseminar will present information that allows you to determine from the record of conviction whether a conviction is or is not an aggravated felony. If it is, you will understand the steps in two primary strategies for avoiding deportation of a lawful permanent resident as a result of an aggravated felony conviction: post-conviction relief in criminal court and relief from removal in immigration court.
