Bronx Criminal Deportation Defense Lawyers
Why Is Criminal Deportation in the Bronx So Frightening?
You might be terrified right now because any arrest in New York can feel overwhelming, but when immigration issues get mixed in, everything becomes scarier. At Spodek Law Group, we truly understand that fear—and we’re here to guide you through it. Todd Spodek, our managing attorney, has built a second-generation law practice focused on a “white glove” service approach, meaning we prioritize consistent communication and personalized care for every client. With our fully digital portal, we make sure you can track your entire case, from the criminal charges to the immigration consequences, in real time.
What If You Have No Idea Where to Begin?
Honestly, most people facing deportation have little understanding of how criminal and immigration laws intertwine. That’s why our firm, led by Todd Spodek, emphasizes a thorough investigation of every fact before we even decide if we can take on a new client. We do this because we want to be transparent and selective, ensuring that if we bring you on board, we genuinely believe we can help. From our offices in NYC, including the Bronx, to our Los Angeles location, we’ve embraced a nationwide footprint to represent clients just like you.
Understanding the Legal Foundation Behind Criminal Deportation
Deportation often arises under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), specifically Sections 237(a)(2) and 238 of Title 8 in the U.S. Code, which outline deportability for certain crimes. Our team at Spodek Law Group studies these statutes in detail to figure out if an offense is classified as an aggravated felony, a crime involving moral turpitude, or another deportable category. Todd Spodek has handled numerous cases featuring these complexities, and our approach involves scrutinizing every angle—just like we did in our high-profile representation of Anna Delvey. We don’t just settle for the obvious; we dig into lesser-known defenses and strategies to give you the best shot at staying in the country.
Do Criminal Charges Automatically Mean Deportation?
Not necessarily. Under case law like Padilla v. Kentucky, 559 U.S. 356 (2010), the Supreme Court recognized that noncitizen defendants deserve to be informed about the risk of deportation when facing criminal charges. Our firm embraces this principle every single day. Todd Spodek personally ensures that we advise clients on immigration consequences, not just jail time or fines. With our digital portal, you can see updates on motions, plea deals, or other steps we take to protect you from removal.
How We Build a Tailored Defense Strategy
For every Bronx-based client, our attorneys at Spodek Law Group conduct an in-depth review of the arrest record, evidence, and your personal background. Todd Spodek’s philosophy is that a defense strategy shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all. So, we work to uncover mitigating factors that might keep you from being considered a priority for deportation. Maybe you’re a first-time offender, or the alleged crime itself has questionable evidence—that’s where our meticulous approach shines.
Are There Possible Defenses to Deportation?
Yes, absolutely. Through relief options like Cancellation of Removal under INA §240A or Adjustment of Status under INA §245, certain individuals can avoid deportation if they meet strict criteria. Todd Spodek and our entire Spodek Law Group team pride ourselves on thoroughly investigating every angle to see whether you might qualify for these pathways. Our 24/7 availability means you can reach out whenever fear creeps in, and we’ll walk you through the paperwork and hearings step by step.
