Immigration Consequences of Criminal Convictions

      The following links lead to charts that analyze the adverse immigration consequences of criminal convictions in each jurisdiction. Every chart lists the name of the offense, the relevant statute, then the category of crimes that the offense may or may not fall under (crimes of moral turpitude, aggravated felonies, and others) and some charts even offer advice regarding possible alternative pleas or defense strategies.

      These charts are not a complete analysis; they are intended to be used for quick reference. Individual cases require the detailed analysis that only competent counsel can provide.
