Our experts at Dale Illig Law Office specialize in addressing your concerns, providing personalized solutions, and keeping your American Dream within reach.

The Direct Impact of a DUI/DWI Conviction
A conviction for driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while impaired (DWI) can complicate your efforts to establish or maintain legal residency or citizenship in the U.S. Our lawyers are well-versed in the direct implications, which include difficulty obtaining green cards, visas, or naturalization. We understand that such charges can affect your status and work tirelessly to minimize these risks.
It's imperative to react promptly and strategically to these charges to preserve your chances of a favorable outcome. Our team is prepared to take immediate action on your behalf, ensuring that every possible advantage is utilized to protect your residency rights.
Inadmissibility and Deportation Risks
Certain DUI convictions can lead to questions of moral character-which can, in turn, result in the refusal of immigration benefits such as legal permanent residency. Moreover, numerous DUI offenses could indicate a pattern of behavior that might lead to inadmissibility or deportation. At Dale Illig Law Office, we foresee these challenges and advocate on your behalf to combat potential grounds for inadmissibility or removal proceedings.
Every case is unique, and our personalized approach means we scrutinize your situation to shield you from such severe immigration consequences as best we can.
Navigating Complex Immigration Laws
The intricate interplay between immigration and criminal law cannot be overstated. A mere charge can sometimes impact immigration status, not just a conviction. Our commitment to you includes staying abreast with the latest legal changes and strategically applying this knowledge to support your case.
Our understanding of the nuances and how they apply to individual circumstances sets us apart. We don't just offer hope, we provide legal skill backed by up-to-date insights, offering you a real fighting chance.

We're not just lawyers; we're advocates who stand beside you every step of the way, lending our expertise to shield you from the repercussions that can derail your immigration status.
Addressing Aggravating Factors

Our aim is to minimize their impact, presenting evidence and arguments that reflect the full context of your situation and support your defense.
Exploring Plea Bargains and Alternatives
In negotiations with prosecutors, exploring plea bargains and alternative sentencing options can be crucial. We consider how these outcomes could influence your immigration status and work towards ones that are less likely to harm your future.
Our negotiation skills are one of the many tools we skillfully wield to manage the balance between criminal and immigration law for your benefit.
