Diyora Law Office PLLC · Renton, Washington

    Criminal and Immigration Matters

    A criminal case can affect immigration status, admissibility, or available relief. The consequences depend on the exact charge, disposition, record, and immigration history—not only the name of an offense.

    Review both legal histories together

    Immigration analysis may require certified court records, charging documents, plea information, sentencing records, and immigration documents. A brief description of a case is not enough to determine its effect.

    Diyora Law Office PLLC can evaluate immigration questions and, when appropriate, coordinate with criminal defense counsel. The firm does not replace criminal defense representation.

    Before a plea, filing, or travel decision

    Decisions in a criminal case can have lasting immigration consequences. If a criminal matter is pending, consult qualified counsel before entering a plea or making a decision that may affect immigration status. If a conviction already exists, obtain the complete record for review.

    Schedule a Consultation

    Every immigration matter depends on its own facts. A consultation can provide an opportunity to discuss possible next steps.
