"I'm seeing the consequences that criminal convictions can have for legal permanent residents and undocumented individuals. And so, we are focusing all our efforts in understanding and representing the clients and being fully aware of what the immigration consequences can be for many criminal convictions. Clearly, under this new administration, the immigration enforcement is a lot more stringent.
