Federal and Texas State forfeitures defense overview

If you believe you may be under federal investigation for a Immigration Fraud Case, it is critical that you hire a qualified criminal defense attorney right away. Do not risk having your rights violated by neglecting to retain a skilled, experienced criminal defense attorney.
The Houston, Texas law office of Kuniansky & Associates will work diligently to ensure your rights are protected.

Immigration fraud comes in many different forms. Lying on an immigration form submitted for yourself, entering into a sham marriage in order to help someone get into the country or get citizenship, or providing false information in order to help get someone else into the country through a sponsorship program are all examples of immigration fraud. Some people are also accused of immigration fraud in connection with a false statement about their immigration status in order to get employment in the United States.

Under current United States Immigration Laws many undocumented immigrants face a quandry of using false documents to obtain work or else they can't work or eat. The problem is that the United States government requires every employer to file an emplyer verification form with their employee's social security numbers. The dilema arises because undocumented workers are not given social security numbers.

False document charges arise when undocumented aliens fill out forms which require social security numbers and make up numers or carry fake social security or other identification cards. These charges are also brought when undocumented aliens apply for licenses such as landscaper licenses, contractor licenses or drivers licenses and put false social security numbers down on applications.

You may not understand the full implications of the crime with which you are charged. Criminal defense attorneys equalize the balance of power between the defendant and the prosecution and ensure that the constitutional rights that are guaranteed to all criminal defendants are preserved.

It is essential for non-citizens who are accused of crimes to get an attorney who understands these risks. Criminal defense lawyers who do not understand the effects of criminal convictions on immigration status frequently recommend pleading guilty to charges, thinking that they are getting a "good deal" for their clients. Many clients only find out later that their guilty plea has made them ineligible for admission to the U.S., lost them their green card or taken away their chance for United States citizenship.

Immigration fraud can be charged as a felony, and if you are found guilty you can be deported and banned from returning to the United States. If convicted you can also spend a significant amount of time in prison.

Every criminal defendant needs an attorney. Innocent defendants are perhaps in even greater need of zealous representation throughout the criminal process to ensure that their rights are protected.

The Law Offices of Kuniansky and Associates provides criminal defense for immigrants and US citizens who have been arrested, charged, or convicted of a crime and facing ineligibility to enter the U.S., loss of their green cards or deportation due to a criminal case.
The law office of Kuniansky & Associates will work diligently to ensure your rights are protected.
