Post-Conviction Relief

Post-Conviction Relief Attorney – Protecting Your Immigration Future After a Criminal Conviction

A Past Mistake Shouldn’t Cost You Everything

If you’re a noncitizen with a criminal record, a past conviction could put your entire life in the U.S. at risk—triggering deportation, denying you a green card, or blocking your path to citizenship. At Lamb Law, we understand the fear and stress that comes with this uncertainty.

That’s why we help clients pursue post-conviction relief—a legal process that can vacate, modify, or reopen past criminal convictions to protect your immigration status. If your criminal case wasn’t handled properly, or you weren’t fully informed of the immigration consequences of a plea or conviction, you may still have options.
