Fresno, California Deportation Defense and Criminal Lawyer
Even if you have a green card, a criminal charge can be grounds for removal for a foreign citizen in the United States. At Chris (Hristo) K. Bijev, Inc., we are dedicated to helping our international clients protect their rights. We understand the stress involved with a criminal charge. If you are a foreign citizen, the chances of deportation because of a criminal conviction can highly complicate matters. You need an experienced attorney on your side.
For over 15 years, we have been dedicated to helping international clients who need deportation defense. Many immigrants don't realize that even relatively minor criminal convictions can cause problems for a citizenship application-and a more serious conviction can lead to prompt deportation. Sadly, many criminal defense attorneys don't know this either, and they advise clients to plead guilty when they could protect their immigration status by fighting the charge.
Our firm will help you understand your rights. We have the experience and knowledge of U.S. immigration and deportation defense laws to help you overturn a criminal charge and fight for your status in the United States.

Many California criminal defense lawyers do not understand how a criminal conviction can affect immigration status. Even if it is only a misdemeanor conviction and you do no jail time, a criminal conviction of any kind on your record could lead to problems with immigration when you apply for permanent U.S. residency or citizenship.
Before you plead guilty to any offense, even a misdemeanor, we invite you to contact our firm to discuss your rights. If you are facing deportation or a removal hearing, especially because of a criminal conviction, we have the experience and proven skills to help you fight.
