Robbery is the type of charge that will stay on your record forever. Additionally, a withhold of adjudication means nothing to ICE so if you plea guilty or no contest, you could still be deported. Talk to your attorney about other options and you should also consult with an immigration attorney.

For purposes of immigration a withhold won't matter, however, it isn't a bad outcome if you are a citizen. If they are willing to do a withhold a pretrial intervention program may not be out of the question. Upon completion the charge would be dismissed and you shouldn't have any immigration problems. If you need further assistance please call my office at 305.670.3119.
