Criminal defense

Motion for Appropriate Relief

Jan 01, 2019

OUTCOME: Dismissal

I was retained in a case where my client was about to be deported because he had plead guilty to a deportable offense. It turned out that his previous lawyer had not appropriately warned him of the imm ... igration consequences of the plea. I was able to get the case re-opened and worked with his immigration attorney to get him released from immigration detention. I was then able to get his charge dismissed in order to keep his green card intact.

FLSA Restaurant Tips

OUTCOME: Settlement

I represented employees against the restaurant that employed them. The restaurant only paid them in tips, and did not pay them any wages at all. I argued that they were owed minimum and overtime wages ... for every single hour they had worked because the employer failed to comply with wage and hour regulations.
