Re: criminal law

It is a very unusual sentence for a Disorderly Conduct your husband was royally screwed. Pardon my French. Any criminal conviction may possibly, although not necessarily, bring about negative immigration consequences that might affect your husband's status up to being removed/deported. Please call our office to get a consultation based on actual facts because without knowing all of the details it is virtually impossible to provide you with a valid advise. Best of luck.
