For many years the communication between the Immigration Naturalization Service (INS) and the New Jersey Courts was deficient. However, new internal controls have been put in place to prevent individuals from slipping through the cracks. The result is that individuals who are charged with marijuana possession and, worse yet, marijuana distribution, are exposed to immigration proceedings and even deportation. It is therefore particularly important that resident aliens, illegal aliens, VISA holders and other non-aliens, be represented by an experienced defense lawyer who can insure that potential immigration issues are addressed properly. That is precisely what the attorneys at our firm offer. We work hand-and-hand with one of the premier immigration firms in NJ whenever these issues arise. In fact, immigration counsel and our Cranford Office are right next door to one another so that we can work closely to make sure our clients are protected against immigration consequences like deportation. Please do not hesitate to give us a call anytime at 1-877-450-8301.

Deportation for Aggravated Felonies & Moral Turpitude Offenses

If an individual is not a citizen and is convicted of an aggravated felony, he is subject to deportation. Aggravated felonies include marijuana distribution. Deportation proceedings may also be filed where an individual is convicted of an offense involving turpitude, for example, a felony marijuana possession conviction or multiple misdemeanor possession convictions.
