Philadelphia Immigration Attorneys

Immigrants in the process of obtaining a visa or green card who are charged with DUI could face serious consequences as a result. At the Law Offices of Tahir Mella, our immigration lawyers advise clients of their rights and what is in their best interests when charged with drunk driving. Unfortunately, some criminal defense attorneys unfamiliar with immigration law recommend that their clients either plead guilty or participate in the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) program. However, for immigrants an ARD plea bargain counts as a conviction can be grounds for deportation or disqualification in citizenship proceedings. Before you plead guilty to a charge of DUI its important to talk to an experienced immigration lawyer who can explain how to protect your interest and ensure your rights are not violated.

For more information regarding DUI and immigration laws, as well as the options available to you, contact immigration attorneys at the Law Offices of Tahir Mella. Our Philadelphia office represents clients throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey, including York, Reading, Media, Norristown, Camden, Salem, Burlington, and Cherry Hill.

Preventing Problems before They Arise

Each state handles DUI charges and convictions differently. Before you agree to a plea arrangement, it is essential that you understand the consequences your could face as a result of a plea of "guilty." Our immigration lawyers will explain the consequences you face, the options available to you, and identify what is in your best interest.

What Happens if You've Already Plead Guilty

Depending on your case, our office can work with immigration officials in pursuing alternatives to deportation. While we can't guarantee any particular outcome, explaining the circumstances surrounding your case, how your defense attorney advised you, and you incomplete knowledge of the issues involved may affect how your case is handled.
